Show us your go to detector - gold or coins/relics

[Goldpick]

I've started this topic with newbies in mind, just to give them and other forum users an idea of what we prefer as our favourite/most utilised detector and related accessories (coils etc), putting a face to a name so to speak. Obviously don't post if you don't want your gear exposed to the world, and please only post one detector, not your whole collection - this is not a gear show off topic.

If you have a screened detector, a shot of the screen in operation would be great for newbies to become familiar with (backlit or non backlit). If your detector deconstructs easily, that would also be good to see with regards to portability.

Variety is the spice of life, so hopefully we can see some of the less well known or used detectors out there, always interesting to see.

This is open to all types of detectors, ages and usages, no matter how cheap or expensive.

My main rig for general purpose park and beach detecting is the Minelab Explorer SE Pro, a now discontinued model.

Coils used, stock 11" DD Pro coil (best all round), 12x8" Coiltek DD Platypus (for junky spots), 10x5" Coiltek DD Joey coil (general purpose, though HEAVY).

Backlit screen with dual iron and conductivity target ID numbers

Explorer deconstructed into 3 sections for travel, control unit and armrest, aluminium upper shaft, carbon fibre lower shaft and pro coil

Gday GP , just wondering... Do you have the 10x5 and 12x8 descriptions backwards?

 

[Sandta]

This is mine as of recent times ..Sovereign XS 2a Pro
Currently fitted with the 10x5 joey , its quite slow to cover ground with this small coil ,good for seperation though
I have ordered a new coil, NEL Hunter , (the same as i have on my Ace250 and am very happy with)

Sandta, does the BBs technology really work, and knock out signals from BBs?

 

[Goldpick]

Nice looking setup Sandta, and yes, the coil sizes are back to front on mine. :8

My go to detector for basic treasure hunting at the moment is still the Aldi, will upgrade soon but keep feeling I don't need to, but I do really, I need more depth on the beaches and something a little more accurate descimination wise. For an entry level detector if certainly works andhas paid itself off many times over.
