There never was one just called Explorer, at least not by Minelab.They're the Explorer S & the Explorer XS. The XS has many more features & is the one almost all of the posters are using. There was a problem with cracking plastic on the earlier Explorer XS models, they changed to better plastic March 2001 but I can't give a serial number or whatever to help determine if a unit has the improved plastic. I read several people say when their plastic cracked that Minelab fixed it for free. I wouldn't be so sure if they would fix it for free though if a person wasn't the original owner. HH, George (MN)

yrs old,finally just recently noticed the "cracks" you hear about.I have been swinging a WOT for a few months,and the shaft kept sliding out. The ears that hold the lock lever pin, cracked.I don't think the extra weight of the WOT helped either. I called Minelab for info,where to send the unit/and $$ ??. Dick (MINELAB) informed me the housing would be warranty,before i could even ask the question! Made my day! <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="
"> Patiently waiting its return. At least i can still hunt with my Excaliber! If any one is tracking serial #s on cracking,believe mine was #000179,(earlier unit)

My Explorer is pre 2001.
Should I send mine in during the Winter months to get it changed BEFORE something bad happens? Or do they only fix them WHEN they go bad?
I just don't want to be stranded during next Spring and Summer.

I sent my Explorer in for repair and the only way to not be stranded was to get another explorer. Thats what I did. Now my back-up is as good as my main machine.
