Minelab musketeer
ANDREW TAYLOR in KENT UNITED KINGDOM -Wow a great machine, good design, very deep and sensitive, the battery and charger system is the best i have used.
The first trip out on a field that I have done to death with other top of the range machines I had a roman coin the first signal and then a elizabeth 1 1572 threepence at 10" and a perfect signal.
This machine loves iron infested sites and copes with ease, I have now sold the xp goldmax power as I love this machine with non of those constant iron signals.
If it is to heavy on the stem then just hip mount it with the minelab pouch, or even better buy a minelab straight stem.
A quality machine well done minelab.

One of the Best
Malcolm Higginbotham in Norfolk, UK -I've had my Advantage for three years and what a wonderful machine it has been. Simple to use, I always use the 10 inch coil and ground balance carefully, discrimination at 9 o'clock and sensitivity set so that the machine just runs quietly. Used like this iron is easy to identify, it has a much longer tone, problem items "move" when checked at 90 degrees. My finds rate with the Advantage has been impressive, 600+ Roman coins, 12 Roman brooches, 5 Roman rings, many medieval coins (silver), including cut quarters(very very small and very thin) and so much more. These finds have all come from iron infested sites (Roman sites are littered with old Roman nails as well as hot iron pottery and building rubble), the Adavntage sails through with ease, better than my friends EXpll. All in all set it up right and learn to interpret the sounds and you'll not get a better detector at anywhere near its price. By the way did I mention it can go very deep?

Musky ... fast and deep
Daniele in Venice, Italy -I have a Musky with the standard 8" and the 12,5" detech coil. The 8 is quite good, not a deep monster, but very fast on the target and quite sensitive on small targets at good depths. The 12,5 detech is very very deep, 3 feet on a WW1 German helmet, while still discriminating medium sized iron (granade's splinters). I give it 5 stars, it can fight against every detector on the market. Think to the fact that it is a masked Relic Hawk ...

Musketeer v e-trac
lee in wales -Hi everyone, musketeer v e-trac, fact 1.the musketeer goes just as deep as the e-trac. 2 musketeer alot cheaper than the e-trac. 3 the musketeer will pick up more rubbish than the e-trac but not always. 4 the end of the day if your over the object the musketeer will pick it up like all other deep detector. 5 fact. 6 trust me.

MY MUSKETEER UPDATE.
LEE in WALES,UK -Hi all,just to let you know what a great detector this is, I have found a nice silver Edward 1st dated around 1279 about 10ins down. Fantastic. You don't need to spend loads of money on a detector to find what your looking for. If your detector goes deep like the musketeer you will find it. Great detector.

The best
LEE in WALES,UK -I've only been metal detecting for only 4 months and so far with his detector I have found, 600 year old ring, 1 Roman brooch(bow brooch)very nice, 13century finger brooch, silver coins dating back from 1580, over 100 copper coins dating back from 1600, 4 mine tokens dates 1789 to 1799, musket balls and loads more stuff.
What does that tell you about this detector, fantastic.

Advantage, by all means!
Stephen in Corfu Island in Greece -I bought this detector from ebay u.k. secondhand for 195 pounds sterling. It paid for itself in 15 days! Total score since I bought it two months ago beachcombing mostly wet salt sandy beaches with 7" coil: 456 cash Euros in coins, 626 undercurrent (older)coins, 26 silver jewellry, 16 gold jewellry, at amazing depths! 2 cent Euro coins at 11" down! Woman's slim golden ring with diamond at 13 down! Man's silver ring 16" down! Inland medieval small bronze various items 12" - 15" down! WWII Italian unexploded 75mm (3")howitzer at 65cm (26")down still with the 7" coil!
Oh yes! This detector proved equal or superior to my old Tesoro Eldorado. Drawbacks? It seems rather to be a aluminium foil loving machine! But as with most discriminating detectors, just an advice folks:Keep discrimination low and anyway and in any case no more than 1/3 up.If you do not dig up a little bit of junk you will not dig anything else either!

Musketeer
Jonathan in Wales (GB) -
Not a bad machine, not great either, it is firmly ensconced somewhere in between. My experience with using this machine is that it seems to love picking up iron; a bit too much. Also it is heavy and rather basic, but then what are you to expect for the price? On the flip side, yes it does go down just as deep as most other detectors and I have made some decent finds with it. The search head is also a decent size, and the control box is easy to master, and unlike earlier versions of this machine there is now an option to mount the control box under the foam arm rest, this is far more conducive to counter balance the machine. In short, if you are looking for a solid entry level machine that isn't going to break the bank then I suspect you could do far worse than this.

Minelab advantage pound 4 pound the best
steve, peterborough uk in uk -Brilliant machine ,this must be the biggest secret in metal detecting, depth is right up there with the top end machines costing loads more,ease of use simple,ground balance a doddle,and the 10 inch is a killer,what a machine for the price,and you wont dig iron with a minelab,sensitivty of this machine is fantastic,in a word stunning.
