spending your ring reward allready

[Cobs]

Haha LL i have been toying with the idea of buying one for a few weeks now - was gonna phone Joan Allens this afternoon after a browse on 3 sites that sell used stuff etc ... and found this one at a bargain price - how could i say no ?

No reward as yet lol

[Tomo]

Good luck with it. Be prepared to dig some deep holes

[lord lovell]

its a giant step im waiting for a few more reviews etc as it does have known leaking problems im still using a explorer se at the mo minelab have come a long way since 1985

[Cobs]

Lol Tomo - the Explorer II has me going deep already - whats max depth youve had from your 3030?

We have the X-Terra 705 (not used much), a backup Explorer XS, Tina uses an Explorer XS with SEF coil, my Explorer II has Tinas old Nel Tornado - one hell of a combo, we love the Minelabs, we have tried other but prefer Minelab, im also hoping to take the 3030 in rivers as i like snorkelling, hoping they dont leak but it seems theyre leaking due to not being cleaned after use (grit etc)?

Ill do a vid review of mine as im learning, itll also be good to compare targets with Tinas inherited Explorer II with that Nel coil

Nice one Paul, it's a cracking bit of kit.............great with the standard 11 inch coil but to optimise it I'd recommend eventually adding the other two as you progress. Welcome to the ever expanding throng

[Cobs]

Looks around for Paul

Cheers Phil - do you see much difference with the other 2 coils? I can imagine the smaller is ideal for trashy areas, were mainly working in pasture/ploughed/stubble at the moment, hows the larger one compare in these areas compared to the standard one?

[Philthy Phil]

LoL!! When I typed Paul I meant Rob...................blame the high levels of analgesia I'm currently pumped full of (It gets me in all sorts of trouble)

[Philthy Phil]

I don't yet own the big farm gate sized coil myself (my next purchase) but can recommend the 6 incher for really trashy areas & nasty stubbly places where it's difficult to swing anything larger.........I've found that the seperation is absolutely amazing

[Cobs]

Hehe no worries Phil, get well soon mate that Treasure is calling you

Ill keep an eye out for that larger coil ... after xmas tho lol
