Here are the basic differences between the Classic II and the upper-end offerings, the Classic ID, Classic IDX and the IDX Pro.Īll Classic SL series models use the same slide-in battery tray with 8-AA alkaline batteries.Īll Classic SL series models have the same 'S' rod with the trigger-toggle pod to select Pinpoint/Discriminate mode/All Metal mode. That's all he used the last several years he was able to get out for a little detecting, and it is now in my 'keeper' detector arsenal. I explained the benefits of the Classic II SL to him and located an 'as-new' Classic II for him. He was also comfortable with an 8" coil because, as I stated, he also wanted things simple. While he could see the benefits of why I liked what I used, he also said he just wanted something basic ( that meant affordable), and simple to use ( also affordable), because all he wanted to do was hunt the local playgrounds at parks and schools while in town, but have a detector that was very capable of working homesteads, old town sites, railroad stops and sidings, and other old-use places where he wanted to discriminate nails.
I demonstrated for him why the other two were perfect 'back-up' units to the IDX Pro which was my #1 detector of choice for the wide variety of sites I hunt. I told him that it was mainly a White's XLT and XL Pro and an excellent modified IDX Pro. Several years ago I was visiting him as I passed through on vacation and he said he wanted a detector and asked what I was using.
I was the one who became avidly engaged in the metal detecting field, but Ed just liked to keep things simple. Unfortunately, he lived a long day's drive from me and we didn't get any late-in-life detecting in together, but I still have the wonderful memories of how I got hooked on this hobby. Ed was my only and older brother who passed away last June from cancer. I have a White's Clasic ll metal detector, but don't know much about the IDX Pro.I also have a Classic II ( the SL or Slim-LIne version) that was my brother's detector.
