Minelab Excalibur II (Two) 1000 Underwater Metal Detector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased one of these $1198 Minelab Excalibur ll after reading that they were the very best. I used it many times for about 3 months and I didn't find anything worth it. I also have a $212 land detector and with this I've found 11 rings (2 Gold) and 2 Gold chains in just over 4 months. The knobs (of the Excal) are cheap, the headphones are not good quality and the detector is very heavy. Needles to say I was very dissapointed with the Excalibur ll and sold it. Sorry but I really have no reason to recommend it.

Bounty Hunter QUICKDRAWII Quick Draw II Metal Detector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did a lot of searching and review reading on the internet before finally deciding what to buy. I am convinced Quick Draw II is THE best value available of any make by any conpany. The features on the QDII are generally found only on much higher priced detectors. This thing really works as advertised. I have already found several coins and other things right in my own yard. It will reliably indicate what coin is being detected although it many times confuses dimes and pennies on the LCD readout. It is very sensitive and detects most coin size items very reliably to about 6 or 8 inches. The auto notch discrimination works well and filters out most trash items. I have used metal detectors that ended up being aggravating and frustrating. This one is a pleasure to use and is quickly becoming a relaxing and profitable pastime for me. If you want a serious metal detector without spending a whole lot of money give it a try... you won't be disappointed...

Bounty Hunter's Quick Draw II detector offers the excitement and profit of metal detecting at a moderate price--it's feature rich but still affordable. With a fully submersible, 8-inch Bounty D-Tech search coil, Quick Draw II also has Ground Trac, a feature that automatically balances the machine to the soil conditions. The Quick Draw II has four modes of operation, ranging from an all-metal detection to the Disc Notch mode that rejects iron and nails and two modes that emit different tones for varying kinds of metal. The detector's display gives both target ID and depth readout, controls for the four modes of operation, and a low-battery indicator. Users will also enjoy Bounty Hunter's comprehensive, easy-to-understand online tutorial and downloadable manual at www.detecting.com. The Quick Draw II has a built-in speaker and headphone jack and runs off of two 9-volt alkaline batteries. Five-year limited warranty.

Garrett Ace 250 Metal Detector Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used various metal detectors off and on for many years. While I would certainly not classify myself as a hardcore-detecting hobbyist, I do try to do it properly when I participate.
One thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of metal-detecting "snobs" out there that love nothing more than telling you that while your detector is cute, it might as well be a giant turd with earphones compared to theirs! It's weird--I like this hobby because it's different / not mainstream, but when that stuff happens, it may as well be golf...
Anyway - I'm not into this hobby enough to spend $700 - $1500 on a detector, but I do want to get my moneys worth. There are A LOT of reviews on the web for this particular detector, and I would say that 1 in 10 were negative, with the rest being very positive. For $200, I gave it a shot. My findings:
The good:
When I received the device, I walked out into my backyard to play around a little, and immediately, with a resounding "DING", found a penny about 4 inches deep. It seems to really like coin shooting
The discrimination and sensitivity settings work well, and the various settings (coins, all metal, jewelry, etc...) work fairly well-- as far a coin shooting, the find usually is exactly what the detector says it is.
I've read many reviews slamming the "pinpoint" feature. Honestly, after I READ THE BOOK and played with it for a couple minutes, I found that it worked quite well.
It seems to work very well down to about 8". It may work well beyond that... I really haven't had the chance yet to hunt anywhere for really deep items.
It's very light, and the display crams a lot of usefull stuff into a small area without being confusing.
If you turn it off while you're digging, the batteries last a long, long time.The bad:
It uses 4 "AA" batteries instead of a 9-volt.
The shaft is a bit on the flimsy side, although it is pretty easy to stabilize if you desire.
It only has a couple tones - a dull beep for trash or unknown items, and a 'DING!' for coins. Honestly though, after I got used to them, they were plenty.
It seems to like a slightly slower sweep than most detectors.
*Major Gripe* There is no volume knob. Get with the program guys, that thing is LOUD!
In short:
The bottom line is this - you really need to read the book that comes with it and spend an hour getting aquinted with the device for it to really work for you. I like it, and for the money wouldn't think twice about buying another.
