Minelab is supposed to be shipping the first batch to the dealers today, but they haven't gotten to the dealers yet. My buddy is a Minelab Dealer. They did sent the brochures to the dealers already.

The ETrac is the new version of the Explorer. Lots of extra goodies. Looks like a good machine. If you want one. let me know.

oh boy, I wonder what the price on this one will be?
 

I was told retail around $1900 but you would probably be able to buy it for $1500.00

I have searched all over to find more info but so far no luck.
 

Obviously you haven't listened to the Explorer much.

Mine plays Smoke on the Water, The National Anthem as performed by Hendrix and one or two other Heavy metal tunes! ::)
 

JW is a dealer on brand X forum and he says give him a call if you want the facts.

The price is $1499.

Call: 800-898-6673

Oh, and order one for me too :wink:
 

I'll pass on that one, no doubt does the same thing just a higher price and more that can go wrong. The Explorer can often have subtle issues that people withot a lot of experience don't realize. This has happened twice with people visiting me, their detector was wacked out and they had no idea. A detector more and more like a computer is something I do not want nor need.

I think maybe that's the problem I had with my first Explorer (ExII).

The person I got it from had replaced the coil and immediately sold it. Why would someone spend all that money for a new coil only to sell the whole rig at a low price? Something was up there.

Oh well, I did very well trading it off to a dealer who was going to check it out.

I'm sure this XS will be good due to the seller's reputation.

Iron Patch i have to agree with you there i want a detector that is a detector not a Computer i spend enought getting this Gateway fixed.Do i want a detector i can plug in to my computer he!! no just more to go wrong. When i go detecting i want to hunt not play with a computer. I won't even think about that E- Trac..........I might think about the new White TDI.....................................==Jim==

But I'll say it sure is a clever marketing ploy, much better than the all the other little changes on previous Explorers. This will actually hurt people because they will get too involved in programs which in my opinion cost you finds.

Low disc., high sense, and let your ears figure it out!
 

Also just think how bad it would be if your Explorer got a virus and thought it was a Whites or Garrett machine.... ::) :wink: :D ;D
(just poking fun, no one hurt me too bad on this one please)
