Re: anybody having trouble with minelab

I mailed mine in last Friday. They got it Monday. The guy checked it out on Tuesday and gave me a call. I received it yesterday along with a new coil and new set of headphones that they replaced under warranty. NO PROBLEMS HERE! :thumbsup:

Re: anybody having trouble with minelab

What happened to Sandy ??????

I sent my excalibur to them 2 weeks ago using 2 day shipping to have Robert install a end plug so i could use my gray ghost headphones, And had my unit back with in a week.

Sometimes it helps if you use two or three day shipping by ups so that you lessen the down time and track when they receive the unit, and then call then the next day. They have had mine three times now and i have had great sucess with there work and returing my detector in a short time.

Thank you Minelab :)

Re: anybody having trouble with minelab

Codan bought Minelab, they are a major Australian electronics company.

I personally would have no problem buying another new Minelab, in fact there are several I would buy if I only had the money. X-Terra 70 or Explorer.

Seas don't get discouraged..................See you at the Shootout. :thumbsup:

When I first got my Explorer she stayed on the phone with me and listened to my machine as I ran it over the ground. She told me what the target probably was and I dug it and she was right!

She helped me out a lot. Then when the machine needed some TLC she was right there to get me through the whole mess.

Sandy is awesome!!!

Glad you got your machine issues worked out.
