Bill&DIANA Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Is there any truth to the rumor that a minelab extreme with the first three digits of the serial number less than 730 is not as good?Any idea as to when a Extreme with first three digits of 687 was made?thank youBill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin nuggethunting Posted April 1, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hello Bill and Diana,First I would like to welcome you to the forums. There was a lot of talk about the early Minelab GP Extreme's being very noisy, some even bad. There was also some talk about the serial numbers as a partial ID to the problems. I'm not sure ther serial numbers really meant much, but there was some bad Extreme's floating around. I know I had one of the first GP Extreme's that hit US soil. The unit was noisy, but was hot as a pistol on small gold and small gold at depth. If you get a chance, give Dick Shultz at Minelab USA, Inc. (Las Vegas) a call and tell him you know me. He will give you the scoop on the serial numbers and if there are problems. You can also send in your detector and have it serviced there if you think there might be a problem with the detector. Hope this helps a bit,Rob Allison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
