Explorer S
The benchmark for Coin and Treasure Hunting detectors is about to change with the
introduction of the new Minelab Explorer.
After two years of intensive research and development Minelab is proud to announce the release of two
totally new and innovative detectors, which have been especially designed for the coin and treasure
hunting market.
Following Minelab’s history in technological development, the Explorer introduces a new concept to the
world of metal detecting. Within a short time, the Minelab Explorer will be the detector other treasure
detectors are compared with.
Operating on a totally new system call Full Band Spectrum (FBS), this new technology transmits up to 28
frequencies simultaneously, ranging from 1.5 kHz to 100 kHz, improving both depth and accuracy of
discrimination.
Welcome to the new world of Smartfind™.
The Explorer takes the old principals of how discrimination works and replaces it with the remarkable
new technology called Smartfind™.
For the first time ever, here is a detector with 2-D Identification, which means that targets are now
identified by not only conductivity but as well its ferrous content.

Other features of the Explorer include:-
. 2-D graph (Smartfind™)
· Superior depth
· Large, easy to read display screens
· Targets can be identified three ways;
.
Digital Meter
. Tone ID
· Target depth indicator
· Signal ‘blanking’ on discriminated targets
· Overload signal on large targets
· Option of Automatic preset factory controls or manual operation of controls
· Ergonomically designed for comfort
· Concealed coil cable (no more winding cables around shaft)
· Easy access, drop-in battery case
· Uses both Alkaline (8) or NiMh rechargeable batteries
(which are not susceptible to failing capacity due to “battery memory”)
· Can be charged using either 240 volt or 12 volt charger
· Backlight and display screen contrast control
· Plus many more features
There are two models, the Explorer S and Explorer XS. Both detectors use the new Smartfind™ two-dimensional discrimination system and have equal depth. The Explorer XS however has a number of
more advanced features which allows the operator to personalise the discrimination pattern to their
requirements.
