audio-visual information - there was no second-guessing - it did what has been
expected of such a high-calibre machine for years - providing an unsurpassed
detecting experience and was pleasurable in doing so - as trustworthy as an old
friend. With the new micro-processor especially designed for the new SE it is now
much faster as well and this is instantly obvious even on start-up.
Tips & Tricks with the SE
As with any metal detector it takes time to get to know it really well. Explorer SE
allows one to do this really quickly and it provides a wealth of information with just
a few button pushes to glean extra information for some signals that you may not
be quite sure about.
•
Pitch Hold - The Pitch Hold mode, when combined with the updating of
ID's in Pin-point is a powerful tool, and a great aid in isolating a good from
a bad target. An advantage noted during the testing of the new SE was
that Pitch Hold just suddenly "grabs onto" targets which were audibly
quick, unmistakable and instantaneous signals.
•
Digital Screen - should you have a signal you are undecided about, simply
engage Digital and hit Pinpoint - pass over the unknown target a few times
and it should reveal its identity very quickly by displaying four numbers e.g
Fer 31 Cond 31 (large ferrous) and in the new detector a depth estimation
as well all via the new VCO Pinpoint mode.
Conclusion
Originality is hard to come by in any format and it is Minelab, the company who
gave us ground breaking and earth-shattering performance with the introduction
of BBS technology many years ago who built on that solid foundation. Producing
cult favourites such as the Excalibur and Explorer II they are still at the forefront of
detector design today providing unparalleled performance to bring us the new
Explorer SE, truly deserving of a place of honour in the long lineage of Explorer
metal detector development.
Certainly Explorer SE is a lot of metal detector in a fantastically built package and
everyone is catered for from absolute beginners to very experienced users who will
customize it to obtain exacting results. Minelab's engineers deserve great credit for
their ability to take a great product and make it better, smarter and faster.
This detector truly expands the reputation of the company and I am delighted to
be able to report on such a classy machine. These people obviously know the
meaning of the word "heritage" but they also know the meaning of the word
"technology", and in this wonderful detector they have brought the two together.
