I’ve been using the Explorer since it first came out in 1999. I now own the XS, II and the SE. That’s how happy I am with the machine. I have been very successful with them thru the years. The photos are only some of the beach (water and dry sand) finds the Explorers produced and is still producing for me. I love the discrimination where I can eliminate coins and concentrate on the good stuff. GOLD! The only change I will ever make would be to the 3030 which is Explorer based.. Ralph - USA
