@LandroverB1 My goodness the last time I used a Groundhog was 30+ years ago, we still carry spare parts for these golden oldies.

You swing way to fast. Fast recovery speed has nothing to do with how fast you can swing back and forth. This machine, as well as the E-Trac, is meant to be used slowly. For all those bashing this machine - simply using this dudes video as a means to decide whether to buy it is just plain ridiculous. I have been swinging both and E-Trac and an SE for many years and I have had zero problems finding keepers in beds of iron junk. Learn to use your machine before posting propaganda like this please

[RegtonDetectors]

@MrWarmsie The idea of these videos was to compare like for like with similar swing speeds, you are incorrect in your assumptions, nobody is “bashing this machine” you are obviously a ML fan & have seen something you don’t agree with, just try the same test yourself BUT don’t slow down from your normal detecting sweep speed & you will have a nasty shock, I hope you continue enjoying your machine & have many good finds.

@RegtonDetectors This video is a misrepresentation of a great machine. The Explorer SE and the ETrac are not meant to be swept back and forth like a golf club. This is a classic amateur mistake. You have created a bad image for Minelab with your poor use of this metal detector and you should be ashamed of yourself. I hope that people are not stupid enough to use this review as an indication of what this machine is capable of. Your condescending remark about me having a nasty shock is laughable.

[RegtonDetectors]

@MrWarmsie I’m afraid you’re very much mistaken, Norfolk Wolf was also a Minelab user himself & was only too aware of the pro’s & cons of this machine, you have missed the point entirely, this is a like for like comparison at realistic detecting speeds. Maybe a quick read of his book ‘Advanced Detecting’ will help you to understand what is being shown.

Sounds like R2D2.

Air tests mean nothing.

RIP Norfolk Wolf!

Sad to say that John Lynn, the Norfolk Wolf, died today. How many people purchased their first detector because of this mans great advice and knowledge on the subject?

R.I.P.

I like your honesty in the sweep speed at the end. Good Show.

Wish I had NEVER sold my explorer XS, I could go right behind people who had swept around a picnic area and pull coins out left and right. Better yet with the right program loaded I could work right around a park bench, where most detectors go freakin' nuts, and dig out coins like it was easy :) ...sigh.. loved that machine :(
