Minelab Explorer II troubles. HELP (update)

[IAsoldier]

Hey guys and gals I got a Minelab II that was working great till yesterday. Went out did my usual around a location that has oldies. I noticed that my battery was going dead so I change it. Then a Train came by and the machine went bizzerk I was only 50" away from tracks. I shut down the detector and took out battery pack and it was smoking hot and the batteries where hot and melting out. I change the batterys again and now the machine is not acting right (sound is off and very slow). I think it needs repaired but I dont know where to send it or even if they work on them still. Please help. Thanks Terry.

Re: Minelab Explorer II troubles. HELP( updated) not happy

That was a waste of time and money. After talking to the tech with my machine in hand said sounds fine when doing air testing. I asked go outside and bury a coin 2 inches I bet you wont find it if its a penny or dime, Qtr will but smaller ones you wont. They said cant do that outside
Well I got it back same problem just was told get a better coil like a pro type said it might help. I don't know if I should buy a coil or not. I got two a 1000 10" which said is bad but can the 1050 be bad to Well I'm lost on what to do got any suggestions..later

If Minelab says Everything is Fine

Sounds to me like a Ground Condition & Expecting too
Much of Freshly Buried Coins ?

Very Odd though If your Not a Newbie
to The Explorer, So I May be Totaly Off base on this.

Sorry I Have no Constructive answer

Well Im think ground condition to might play a part. I took it to a different area and played worked ok but still not same as before.
