XP Deus II Metal Detector with 9" FMF Coil
I lost one of the washers on my Manticore. Modern mental detectors had them in stock and arrived right away
I recently ordered the Nokta legend
and had it delivered and in my hands in two days. Shipping was extremely fast. The correspondence from Modern Metal Detectors has been awesome. I went out the next day with factory settings in park mode and started finding things. I recommend using the factory settings for a while if you’re new to metal detecting as I am and then customize your equipment. The reviews were my deciding factors before buying a detector. These guys are very helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend them when buying a detector. I’ve ordered more items from them and they should be here soon.
First time doing business with MMD. Most excellent service so far. Free shipping and no sales tax is a huge deal. Saved significantly with MMD. Can’t wait to try out my new detector once it warms up a little!
It was a pleasure doing business with this company. They offer great products at great prices. I bought the minelab manticore which came very quickly. Dan customized the bundled items for me which I really appreciated. I highly recommend modern metal detectors.
First purchase was a Minelab X-Terra Elite. Been out a couple of times with it mainly to learn how to use the machine. Picked up several coins and would have avoided a lot of junk. I choose to dig nearly every signal, for as I stated, learning how to use the machine. Started metal detecting back in the 90's. Did so on and off for several years until I just got to the point that time became a limiting factor. Between my family and career I simply just had trouble with scheduling time. Now retired and have the time. First, I was surprised by the complexity of an entry level machine now, compared to an advanced machine I had in the 90's. X-Terra Elite I believe will pretty much do everything you would need in what many would, at least would have, called and advanced machine in the 90's. (Except dig the hole, I have not found that function yet! LOL) There is going to be a learning curve, but I can see good things coming with some practice and study of the manual. Please don't be intimated by this, I have played guitar for years. When asked about buying a guitar I always tell people do not buy cheap! The playability of a cheap purchase will ultimately discourage you from learning. I believe this advice also is applicable for a metal detector. The functionality, at first may seem overwhelming, but ultimately will pay off. This machine seems to be worth every penny. Secondly, Modern Metal Detectors will do what they say! I received the order in 4 days. They promised it in 5, yep, under promised and over delivered. I have since order some other equipment from them with same results. Don't know if I will ever move on to a more advanced machine, but if I do it will be purchased from Modern Metal Detectors!
Great customer service, fast shipping.
Package arrived undamaged. Have not had a chance to use it yet. Where I live the ground is frozen right now. Looking forward to utilizing the equinox 900. Thank you for your time.
I would never do business with this company. If I was you, they have not stopped nonstop 24 hours a day sending me shit that I don’t request I unsubscribe and they still keep fucking sending me shit. This is a fucking fucked up company that will try to force shit down your throat. Don’t buy a fucking thing from him because if you do, they will put themselves in your life and we will not ever get out so for me at this point I hope their goddamn factory burns to the fucking ground.
This is my first metal detector. It assembled very easily. I chose this one for its underwater capabilities and light weight. It is very light. I am a medium sized person and the headphones are a little big, even on the smallest setting. I haven't turned it on yet so I can't review the settings or functions. I am looking forward to a summer of sifting sand!
Fast and easy transaction. Just bought a Minelab x terra elite last week. Had it in hand in 4 days!
Minelab X-Terra Elite Metal Detector
I have to say after having many older mind lab detectors, Quattro E track explorer two that this is the best by far and the best bang for your buck anywhere out there. I use it on the beach in the woods and already within one week I found a ton of stuff. This thing is so sensitive. If you learn the metal detector, you can find things 10 inches deep in the sand, tiny little pieces of aluminum. It does not disappoint. There is no need to get any model above this. This does everything the equinox can do for a heck of a lot less money and you get two coils the 40 pin pointer it’s just such a great package and headphones to boot so if you use some coupon code, you can get it for about 550 bucks. Best bang for your buck highly recommend this company with the free accessories bag everything fast shipping and the best prices on the Internet A+ all around thanks again, ANDY.
