i will apreciate any help or any information related to this metal detector, has some one owned one, or use it? and if you did how depth does it does? or what kind a batteries does it take? im thinking about buying one, but i have more experience with gemini-3 and TW-6 models, thanks in advance

Well if you are thinking of buying one, the seller could tell you what kind of battery it takes, but that is not a worry because they can be converted to use modern batteries. The important thing is to find out if it is transistorized or tube. Forget the tube models. they consume to much power and some tubes are hard to find. Most 2 Boxes that I have seen will go at least 6'. The exception is the Garrett 2 coil conversions which will only make 3'. I like the older units that actually have seperate transmitter and receiver boxes like your gemini-3. I presently am using an older Hays that will go over 6' and it uses 2- 9v batteries.

Thank you very much for the advise frank, since i don't know what year the 2B mega explores was made yes i want to make sure not to get a tube kind, I noticed that other countries like Peru are still selling it, i think i found one here in US, and actually was or it is made by hayes so must to be a good unit. again thank you for the advise.
