Pending release of new Minelab PRO-FIND 15 & PRO-FIND 35 Pinpointers

September 18, 2017/0 Comments/in Breaking News /by Serious Detecting

Minelab is pleased to announce the pending release of our next generation PRO-FIND Series Pinpointers.

PRO-FIND Series Pinpointers assist in accurately locating targets at the point of extraction where a metal detector coil cannot fit. This results in smaller holes, less environmental disruption and faster target recovery time.

There will be two new PRO-FIND Pinpointers available, the PRO-FIND 15, and the PRO-FIND 35, both of which will obsolete the existing PRO-FIND 25 model.

The PRO-FIND 15 offers essential core pinpointer features and is designed for simplicity and ease of use. The PRO-FIND 35 provides premium level functionality in a fully waterproof design for the serious detectorist. Both models use VLF transmission and incorporate Minelab’s unique Detector Interference Free (DIF) technology.

I order "Rattler" headphones for my e-trac late one Tuesday evening. They shipped right away Wednesday morning. I received them Saturday USPS and hunted with them that afternoon.

I ordered a Garrett Ace 250 on a Saturday and the unit arrived on Wednesday, just 3 biz days. I didn't see the shipping info at USPS and was initially upset with the seller but it was NOT their fault but rather, for some reason, USPS didn't update the shipping info. The seller was kind and patient even after I was upset, wrongly, with them. I ordered the Ace 250 for a gift and checked it out before presenting it to the lucky recipient. I know this is a review of the seller but I wanted to leave an observation regarding the item purchased and my reason for my plans to purchase an Garrett AT Max from this seller, SERIOUS DETECTING on EBay, very soon. I tested it against my 1980's White's 6000 Di Pro Plus. The 6000 is a great unit and is very sensitive and it was very expensive for it's time. The Ace 250 weighs about 1/2 of what the 6000 weighs and not having to fiddle with ground balance was nice. Which as a little finicky, at times, on my 6000. I liked the tone differentiation between metal types very much on the Ace 250. Testing on a 2005 US Quarter, the 6000 would easily detect the target at 9.5 inches. The 250 was more like 6.5 inches. So, the depth edge goes to the 6000. However, the ease with which the Ace 250 operated and the much easier to hold/swing for long periods of time has helped me decide on a new unit for myself. After lots of youtube videos, online reviews and overall pleasure it has been to use the 250, albeit, for less than 30 minutes, I have decided my next purchase will be the Garrett AT Max and the place I plan to purchase this unit from is SERIOUS DETECTING. They are a first class group and have won my respect, repeat business and my future recommendations of their service. This was my first time dealing with SERIOUS DETECTING and unlike so many other vendors, this company really delivers.read more

If you are serious about metal detecting, the name is all you need. I have been doing business with this shop for several years and have never been let down. The pricing is fair, shipping reasonable, and they just plain have what you need. I recently ordered a replacement remote box mount for my 4 year old XP Deus. It arrived two days earlier than I expected and was perfect. No damage and was exactly what I needed. Check them out for all your Detecting needs. They won’t let you down!read more

I thought the combo pack with the MineLab 35 and pouch and cord and shovel might be a bit expensive, however I am glad I bought the combo pack because everything is high quality. Saved a bunch!!! Ok, some folks complain that the dual tone iron sound is worthless at half an inch, however it is nice to know if you have gold or iron in a flake. No other detector does this so why complain, you have to dig anyway. It is not like you have an X-ray machine that shows you a bolt versus a coin as an alternative, even though there was a guy who had a lawn mower looking device and he rolled it over and it would show an inch at a time of what is under the dirt. Went out to the backyard and found a bottle cap in 5 minutes!read more

My product came as advertised and quickly. A lot of companies offer sweepstakes as a publicity stunt and don't give anything away. This is not one of those companies.
