Ive gone Minelab nuts!

I've gone Minelab nuts!

While waiting for minelab to ship the Safari I ordered through 4-H, I've been gathering accessories and reading up on adjusting to fbs technology and tones. My wife noticed me giving our Bounty Hunters the evil eye and mumbling " I want my 28 frequencies". She then brought up an interesting question - "So when am I getting a minelab? Do you think I'm going to dig all the trash with the Bounty Hunter while you detect behind me and dig all the good deep targets?" So we looked around, had a stroke of luck, and managed to pick up a barely used still in the box Explorer SE w/ an extra 5" excelerator EQ2 pro coil, case, 2 rechargeable battery packs, car charger, Koss UR-30's, carrying case, rain cover, etc. It is still under warranty and the previous owner also purchased the extended warranty from minelab! It does have the standard coil and not the pro coil, but for $700 I think we did OK. We're having fun learning the sounds and menus. Some folks strive for a house with a two-car garage. We don't have a garage, but we're a two-minelab family now!

sounds good but remember...Minelab Warranty's are NOT transferable.

Only way you can get work done under the warranty if needed is through the original owner as they are not transferable.

Thanks, I am aware of this. I wasn't very clear but I was more implying that this is another machine that someone dropped major $ on and after a few outings put back in the box & in the closet - much like the 2 pristine Excal's people posted about this week. Heck, the warranty lasted longer than the original owner's interest. There seems to be a recent lucky streak for forum members finding barely-used machines at nice prices. I'm just thrilled that we got to be part of that trend.

Hey Iron Patch!
Actually she likes the Safari interface and 4oz less weight, so I'm going to have to "suffer" with letting the Explorer be my main detector!
Oh, poor poor me!

You really got a good deal Jay on the explorer and it's a fantastic machine.

Thanks for your patience buddy.
