Wow - just look at this thing. :eek:

Minelab Explorer metal detector, customised and modified:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Minelab...495262?hash=item4d7c28435e:g:BLYAAOSwVxdbkSze

You are bidding on a custom Minelab Explorer. Unit works fine with the following mods:
> Converted to straight shaft - much lighter and easier to swing
> Main control unit mounted on custom carbon fibre shaft
> Battery replaced with a LiPo battery
> Battery compartment under the shaft for better balance
> Stand added to the battery compartment
> Genuine Minelab armcup added
> Replacement switch panel from an Explorer SE - genuine Minelab part.
> Coil replaced with near new Minelab coil - Etrac from memory
> Headphone socket relocated to battery compartment
> Came tape added - can be removed if you prefer.
> Cable clips on lower shaft
You are bidding on a custom detector with no warranty.

Could be good value I guess, if it works OK. (I have no connection with the seller and know nothing about this detector other than what I've seen and read on eBay).
 
$420 - buy it now. Looks interesting, pretty cheap for an FBS machine even if it is custom.
