    Now I can say yes...

    People often ask me if I find arrow heads with my detector. Dah, no they are not metal. I am always polite though. Now I can honestly say I found one. It was a fairly deep "penny" signal, maybe five inches. I removed the plug and scooped up some dirt and put it beside the whole. Ran my X-1 Probe...

    Explorer II Mod. A little lighter...

    I finished off my Explorer Mod. project. I was hoping for a little more weight savings. I still need to weigh this version, but I think it is about a quarter pound lighter than the original. I put it on an X-Terra shaft with X-Terra arm cup, stand and lower rod. I have the Sun Ray probe box guts...

    FS - Fisher F75 SE and Sun Ray FX-1 Probe Like New Condition!

    I bought this F75 SE October 19th, 2011. It works great and looks (is) new. It is just not the unit for me (Ten plus years using the Explorer - sticking with it). Unit Includes: 8" x 11" Std. Coil, 5" Small Coil, 2 Lower Rods, Rain Jackets for battery and control housings and an aftermarket...

    Update on my Lightweight Explorer II...

    Here is an update on my Explorer II project. I am using an X-Terra shaft setup. I cut an extra lower shaft and put about a foot behind the arm cup. I have the battery and Sun Ray probe mounted there. I can already tell this will really help on balance. I am hoping for a weight savings but will...

I posted over on the Modifications forum under "Explorer II Project - Need A Little Help...". Not sure if this link will take you there but check it out please. Post On Mod...

    Explorer II Project - Need a little help...

    I am putting the Explorer II on an X-Terra shaft. I ran into a couple things that I need help with. I took Charles' advise and took a picture of the insides before I cut wires. Thanks Charles! The problem is that the two main coil wires look the same except one has the black wire coiled around...

    Price Reduced - FS - F75 SE Almost New Plus Sun Ray Probe

    I bought this F75 SE October 19th, 2011. I used it only four times. The dealer said he used it a few times in the spring (2011). It works great and looks (is) new. It is just not the unit for me (Ten plus years using the Explorer - sticking with it). Unit Includes: New Sun Ray in-line Probe...

    Couldn't do it...

    I am giving up on the F75 SE. I really did not give it a fair shot with only four hunts. I thought it would be fun to learn a new machine. Well, it is not really. I kept thinking, how easy it is with my E II. I have used an Explorer for too many years (10) and I have been spoiled. I would...

    All But New F75 SE with Sun Ray Probe...

    I bought the F75 SE October 19th, 2011. I used it only four times, never went through a set of batteries. The dealer said he used it a few times in the spring (2011). It works great and looks (is) new. It is just not the unit for me. It comes with the standard 8" x 10" coil, 5" small coil, extra...

    A fun hunt with Neal...

    Neil and I met up to hunt an old ghost town which is now just fields. We have hunted these fields for a long time as have many other detectorists. We still managed to pull a few keepers each. I think Neal ended up with four IH's with an 1866 in the mix. I found what is pictured: 1837 large cent...

    Nosterbiterus Pridicts...

    Referring to the Wish List Post for a new Explorer model - I will now gaze into the void an predict the future of the Explorer. The Explorer will die a slow death! It will be replaced, or phased out, by a completely new model. I am seeing it called the E-Terra. The machine will function very...

    Fun hunt in a sloppy field...

    I hit an old home site that is on my 1860 maps but is gone on the 1873 maps. I love these kind of sites. Usually everything is old and not much modern trash to deal with. This was the case Sunday. It took me a while to actually find some iron concentrated in one area. It ended up being right...

    Explorer Weight...

    Hello all, Hope this is not too touchy of a subject. As I get older the Explorer seems to get heavier! It has gotten to the point that I purchased a lighter, different brand detector. I am so use to the Explorer, that it is really a pain to try to learn another machine (and I thought it would be...

    Good and bad field hunting...

    Yep, I am still detecting. I found this stuff in a plowed corn field, site of an old long-gone residence. I thought I found the largest of large cents (bigger than a 50 cent piece). Then I looked at the reverse, hum, it's a brass $20 gold piece? I looked it up on the Internet and it is actually...

    2nd Hunt With The F75 SE...

    It was better, especially once I put it into PF and lowered the sens. a bit. I used the 5" coil in another corn field/old residence site (now gone). I was hunting along listening to all of the questionable signals when a super nice hit came up at 64ish. Repeatable all the way around! I was...

    I can still find stuff!

    It has been over a month since I have been detecting. Dang that is winter hunting frequency. Other projects keep popping up. It was fun to get together with my buddy Neal and do some door knocking. We saw a guy watering his yard of a very old house. He was super nice and said hunt anywhere you...

    A couple keepers form last weekend...

    I hunted a farm house yard last weekend. It was slow going with only five wheat backs to show in the first few hours. Then I dug up the fire dept. pin. Twin Lakes Fire Dept has been gone for about ten years. Shortly after that I dug the 1872 IH - Man I hate it when they are holed, especially on...

    Explorer SE For Sale

    I have decided to sell my Explorer SE which has been my backup machine for years. This SE was used one season, went back to Minelab for a checkup, they put new "guts" in the control housing, and it has hung on the wall ever since. It has the Slimline coil, and it is in excellent shape. I am...
