Suggestions for a back up detector

[DavidRandolph]

Hello everyone, up until this morning i was using a whites spectrum xlt for my backup. Long story short, i loaned it out to a friend who was looking for his wife's bracelet. They were remodeling and she had lost it somewhere in the yard. Their son was using a Bobcat tractor moving some trees they had cut down and ran over it. Totally destroyed it! Back in 2003 i bought my SE pro, so the whites became my back up. So for those of you that are using an explorer as your main one. what brand/model would you get? I have a $1000 budget.

thanks in advance

Thats a healthy budget so why not get another used SE Pro or Exp II

I have an SE Pro as my main but it at times gets heavy. I use a Teknetics T2 as my back-up although I have been going to it more and more. It is light so for those corn field hunts it works great but it is deep. I would say it is deeper than my SE Pro. Maybe not at ID'ing at great depth but for letting me know something is there.

Thank you for all your suggestions, I thought about another SE pro but my understanding is that Minelab does not support them anymore. Am i correct? I worry about the one i have now if it goes out who do i send it to? the company in england?

Thank you all

Save some of that money and cure the heavy weight issues by purchasing a minelab Pro-Swing 45 harness. It was one of the best things to allow a guy to detect all day long ....as the machine becomes weightless and you can swing it with just two fingers. Best of Luck !!!

Thanks, i will look into that

Tesoro Tejon. My back up to my SE-PRO. In heavy iron the Tejon with a 5'75 concentric is the machine.

I see new unregistered SE Pro detectors advertised with 3 years warranty. Think I read that Minelab will honor those.
