Minelab Explorer SE

The Full Band Spectrum (FBS) circuit automatically transmits multiple frequencies simultaneously. The increased frequency range means that the signal received from the detector coil is analysed from a wide range of responses. This allows the Explorer SE to analyse more target information so that the Target Identification (ID) is more accurate.

Ground balancing is automatic with Minelab's advanced digital filtering. Whatever field conditions you encounter, from dry clay to wet black sand or rich loam, Minelab will find what you're looking for. Minelab's unique FBS technology means deep, sensitive, accurate detecting.

EXCERPT FROM PRODUCT REVIEW: There's nothing better for a new detector model owner than to have a crowd of onlookers gather around to ogle your new purchase and ask about its performance and abilities while admiring its sleek appearance and asking for 'a quick burn' around the field to try it out.

To achieve such a crowd-pulling feat these days requires either a prestige badge or an eye-catching appeal. This year's crowd-puller has both and appears to be the new all black Minelab Explorer SE.

Such was the interest recently in this new model at a one-day event it had to be handed around on a ten minute loan basis as so many wanted to take a closer look ... click here for the full review

Minelab Explorer SE Menus

Explorer SE Features:

  • SHIFT BUTTONS: Pressing and releasing a shift button next to an icon on the display will select that option
  • IRON MASK: Turns Iron Mask on/off, switching between Iron Mask and using Discrimination Patterns. Iron Mask is a basic Ferrous Discrimination.
  • POWER: Turns the Explorer SE on/off and when held for 2 seconds, restores factory presets.
  • NOISE CANCEL: Automatically selects the quietest, most stable channel for detecting.
  • MENU: Brings up the MAIN MENU at any stage of detector opertion. This allows access to the various settings of the detector.
  • PINPOINT Turns Pinpoint on / off. Pinpoint assists in locating the exact position of a target prior to recovery.
  • BATTERY LIFE: Indicates the battery charge available.
  • DETECT: Returns to the detect display at any stage of operation, allowing you to continue detecting. When in the detect display, pressing DETECT will switch between Smartfind and Digital.
  • BACKLIGHT: (Liquid Crystal Display) The backlight provides greater screen clarity in dim conditions. Even if it is switched off, the backlight illuminates for 1 second as the detector is switched on. Contrast of the LCD can be adjusted.
  • BACK: 'Retraces' your steps back through the displays. This is useful to alter the last adjusted setting. The BACK button will retrace the last 3 steps.

Minelab: GPX4000

GPX4000: The Ultimate Gold-Prospecting Machine

Only for dedicated detectorists - super sensitive, very deep, very special. Not cheap .... but it will find what other detectors have left behind!! 110 ounce gold nugget just found, 8" x 4" - 2" thick, found at over one meter!

To operate DEEP, Gold metal detectors have to eliminate signals from mineralized ground which vastly exceed the tiny signals from deep Gold targets. ONLY Minelab's patented Multi-Period Sensing (MPS) and Dual Voltage (DVT) technology is specifically designed to PUNCH DEEP for Gold through ground mineralization. Simply put, Minelab makes "the BEST Gold Detectors in the world!"

The Minelab GPX-4000 is the next generation of MPS / DVT detectors. The new, advanced internal digital control system provides exceptional performance through new variable functions. No other detector gives you more control over performance to find more gold, more often!

Field Tester opinion: "Using the new GPX- 4000 was great. Being able to optimize the Gain to suit different coils and soils is a huge plus, and having all my favorite settings tucked away in the new menu is really convenient. The new battery was very welcome, so light weight and very fast recharge times - it is a huge step forward. The threshold is very smooth, but you can boost up the machine when needed. The new and improved sensitive timing is unbelievable!"

Minelab GPX4000

GPX4000 new features include:

  • Gain – The gain is now a numeric function that precisely sets the overall sensitivity of the detector. In areas where search conditions are mild, you can increase gain. Conversely, decrease gain in mineralized areas. Our sophisticated Gain control used in combination with other functions such as Timings, Audio and Ground Balance enhance the performance of your detector.
  • Sensitive Timings - With 2 new sensitive options, the GPX-4000 offers dramatically reduced "hotrock" signals and false ground noise in "hot" ground conditions (Smooth Timing), and extra depth on large targets in "mild" ground conditions (Extra Timing).
  • Ground Balance Type - The GPX-4000's new specific Ground Balance mode will make detecting "very hot" ground easier than ever before (especially when using Mono-loop coils).
  • Response - Deep large nugget signals can be made more audible with the GPX-4000's new response function. By inverting normal target response, deep large nuggets will produce a signal closer to that of smaller nuggets, giving you a more familiar and hence more identifiable response.
  • Motion - the GPX-4000 will automatically optimize detecting performance based on the GPX-4000's sweep speed set by the operator.
  • Volume Limit – The volume can be set to reduce loud signals without compromising signal strength.
  • Waist Belt - The GPX-4000 padded waist belt makes wearing the battery harness ultra-comfortable.
  • New LCD Function Display - A new LCD display allows you to accurately select variable settings for key detector functions: precisely remember settings for future use, no more unintentional change of key settings, personal settings saved automatically on shut down, restore factory presets at any time.
  • Improved Control Panel Layout - The most commonly used functions are now conveniently and cleverly located on the front panel for quick and easy access.
  • New Pre-Set Search Modes - Experienced Prospectors know that different search techniques such as patch finding or chaining require different advanced settings on the detector. For best results and maximum performance, the GPX-4000 offers 3 pre-programmed search modes for 3 common prospecting techniques: Patch, General and Deep. The GPX-4000 can be customized to your own preferred settings for each technique, or search mode.
  • New Lithium-Ion Battery - Minelab's new lightweight Lithium-Ion battery offers the latest in battery technology: increased full time power compared to conventional batteries (over 12 hours operation), robust and lightweight aluminium housing, self-contained intelligent charging system, 3 to 4 hours rapid charge time from 12V vehicle or AC adaptor, power monitoring on LCD display.
