Its an awesome machine. I have found one of our new 50c coins down to about 50cm at the beach, deeper then my digging tool was long! I have also found shallow alluvial gold with it (took me a loooong time to find!). I dont run it in the factory preset mode, you can almost double its capabilities if you run it a little hot in manual. The new and the old models are the same inside just the new ones are a little prettier. The exchange rate is favourable at the moment as there are always good second hand ones on Ebay. Reubin

Basically, i will be contacting USA dealers/shops and trying to arrange shipping to NZ within next 2 weeks. Please let me know if anyone want to order any other detector so it will go all in one shipping and will be easier to clear at customs in one go. i will be ordering : * Minelab Excalibur2 * additional battery pack - whatever coms as bonus : Sandscoop+pin pointer etc... Regards

THis is rdicilous. :( and that means i will loose all bonuses if i order localy and will pay extra 300$, but husstle free. (no need to involve 3d party person in USA to get unit shipped to , then ask them to send to US. declare and all that shit.) So that means i need to save up alittle bit more .=(
