Explorer II

I have used the Explorer II for about two years, I can tell you that after really learning how to use the unit I have increased my finds greatly. I find coins and rings in fields I used to go over with my whites spectrum xlt. I got used to the weight, the machine is a little heavier than others. I learned to swing slower as the detector does not like being swung fast. Is this a issue, it depends. By going slower I have experienced I cover the area better. Not much is left behind. As far as discrimination the unit allows me to set up any I want. Now lets talk depth, it is a deep seeking detector, while some are as deep or a little deeper on iron or some relics the Explorer II is deep on everything. There is a learning curve issue with the detector, all it took was a little time to learn it really is not that difficult. This machine has a been a pleasure to learn and use. I like it very well. I see myself buying another minelab product very soon. Good metal detector in my opinion.
