Have a chance to buy a new in the box ID Edge What Say THE HOARDS yeah or NEH Just want some input on a $400.00 purchase is that a good price is it a good unit ease of use etc Thanks Jim
 
It's a good price if it still has the Lifetime Warranty with it.

Hellava unit. Runs right over hot rocks with out any noise. Super good in trashy hunting areas.

Bought a used one for $350. The tones and the meter are very jumpy. Speaker volume is weak, need good headphones to hear anything. Goes a little deeper than my Golden Umax but I like the Golden better, more coils available too. They seem to be equal detecting in trashy places.
 
It turns the Edge into one of the best trash hunters out there IMO. It amazed the heck out of me at how it will pull small low conductors out of iron.

Hi js9gp; I own an ID Edge.GreAat detector.Searches deep as hell.Very sensitive. Thats my field test ressults from actual use ok. Thing is that if it does not have the Warranty seal it back in the box and send it back ASAP.Without the Warranty your dead ok. I bought mine the same way.Thing is the guy sold me a lemon.I sent it to Fisher Labs, Felix Cavillo, and he said they will honor the Warranty so thank God I had the Warranty.When you get it, fill it out and send it in ASAP.Without it I would have been out the initial $300.00 I paid plus another $95.00 it would have cost me to get it fixed.I want to add that Felix is the most helpfull guy you will meet. Kudo's to him.Also to Fisher for making a great detector.You will be floored by its depth, Discrimination abilities in any mode even "ALL METAL" which is what I use exclusively.If your out in the farm fields or woods and your using "ALL METAL" mode you "WILL" need a Spade type shovel literally.Be ready to dig through roots ok. I hope this helps.

IN FIELD FINDS :

!). Clad dime = 7"
2). Silver Dime = 9" - 11"
3). 1790's Large Cent = 14"
4). Gold Wedding Ring = 7"
5). Silver Walker 1/2 = 11"
6). Large Belt Buckle = 10"

These is my true experiences out in the fields. PEACE:RONB :super:
 
Hi Flinstone; Almost identical in every aspect.The Excel "may" have a little more depth though.I hope this helps. PEACE:RONB
 
That's a little hard to answer, because it's not a item where I took both into the field at the same time doing comparisons.

I was using the ID Excel to hunt relics with in fresh plowed fields. The Excel was exceptional at not reporting "hot rocks". No false signals from them at all. The fresh plowed fields produced a lot of hot rocks. The Excel was the only detector I had ever used that would completely ignore them.

A short time after the ID Excel came out, they started developing the ID Edge. I was in on the bottom floor with that one, because Bill Ladd was prototyping a Edge, and I got to play with it. Bill Ladd lives near me. The finished product soon followed, and I grabbed one from stock for my own use, It still had very good rejection of hot rocks, but not quite as good as the Excel. I did feel the depth in disturbed ground was better with the Edge over the Excel. The Edge was also better suited for coin hunting. Shortly afterwards they came out with different coil sizes for the Edge, they never did this for the Excel. I would recommend the ID Edge just because it has available multiple size coils for it. Given the choice, overall usage I would choose the Edge.

Hi js9g; If you want some good, solid avice please read my Post just now directly on the Edge.It is an "ORIGINAL" Owner Warranty. Non -Transferable. You "MUST" have the ORIGINAL DEALERS name and addressok.I think a Sales slip is needed too but not sure on that ok. As my Post says, I will and do back "every" word I wrote ok. Until later; May God Bless You And Yours PEACE:RONB

HAPPY HUNTING !!!!!!! :detecting:
