Back when ... there was the Minelab Explorer, then the Explorer II, then a cheaper version called the Quattro.
It was simple to know which was the latest and best of the line ... but now ...
We have the Minelab Explorer SE, the Safari, and the E-Track ... all at once! ...
...
Which one is supposed to be the top dog of the Explorer line? ...
...
I know which is the most expensive but if they all use FBS technoligy how are they notably different from one another ...
...
Take the Explorer SE and the Safari ... Kellyco says the Safari is "the latest and greatest".
Is it really better than the SE or is it the same electronics board with a modified program running the display and a new paint job?
What is it that makes them so different ... or the Safari so much better than the SE?
I read the magazine writeups and I am more confused than before ... they all seem to be described as the latest and greatest detector Minelab makes.
They do a great job finding coins, they do great at the beach, what a wonderful relic machine, took it to a hunted out field and found silver coins, blah, blah, blah.
Minelab should explain what each detector was designed to do better than the others before it so a simpleton like me can choose the right detector.
BTW: I took no chances and ordered the E-Track.
Being the most expensive it must be the best ... right?
Oh ... Yeah ... the wine is still good! ...
