I've recently upgraded and it's time to part with my faithful minelab XS. This has been an awesome all around detector that outperforms many of the other cheaper machines I've tried. I've used it on land, beach, wet sand all with success. It has lots of features and its manual is still available in PDF form from minelab. It has been modified to use 18650 lithium ion rechargeable batteries which last all day, it comes with 6 of them so 3 to use and 3 spares. AA's with adapter also included if you prefer AA. It is missing the battery cover but that doesn't affect performance and it comes with a hip mount bag so that covers it anyways. Mount it on your hip or belt, 10" TS1000 coil with long cable so you can basically swing the detector with the coil and shaft only! Makes it super light. Also comes with wireless bluetooth adapter and bluetooth headphones. You can fully ground adjust with the unit, use auto adjust, discriminate out iron and signals so is great in trashy areas. Pinpoint also. Was deadly in dry sand. The tones also vary to tell you what type of target you've got which is really handy. I would keep it to be honest but I wanted to move into underwater detecting. Welcome to pickup and try and I imagine postage would be around $20 within the North Island.
