There's nothing better for a new detector model owner than to have a crowd of
onlookers gather around to ogle your new purchase and ask about its performance
and abilities while admiring its sleek appearance and asking for "a quick burn"
around the field to try it out.
To achieve such a crowd-pulling feat these days requires either a prestige badge or
an eye-catching appeal. This year's crowd-puller has both and appears to be the
new all black Minelab Explorer SE.
Such was the interest recently in this new model at a one-day event it had to be
handed around on a ten minute loan basis as so many wanted to take a closer look.
The entire build of the new detector is made up entirely of all black plastics which
accentuate the striking sharp lines. This is truly a high-tech and high-spec machine
and one which will continue to dominate in the "serious detecting" arena.
