F350Platinum Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Well it looks like XP is trying to increase their American market, caught this announcement on their website: https://www.xpmetaldetectors.com/en/ba/the-blog/xp-metal-detectors-launches-amazon-store-to-expand-market-reach-in-the-usa.php Yay. You'll probably pay MSRP for stuff there, but as it expands ya might get what ya need. 😀 Direct link to store: https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/49F4A193-A28A-475C-8F2B-AF1F47A0033B 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that when the updates finally do begin I won't have to spend my time finding someone else to install them for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Amazon - I totally get why people are adverse to Windows (I primarily use Android and a Chromebook) so I bought a relatively cheap Win 10 S Mode laptop (designed for grade schoolers) and have dedicated it for Detector updates (Nokta, XP, Minelab) and other Metal Detecting related IT tasks (research, mapping, web searches) in the field.  It’s not going to break any productivity speed records, but it doesn’t have to (that’s what your Mac is for).  I see several on Amazon for around $150.  You might be able to find a used one for even less.  It costs less than many metal detecting accessories out there that are a heckuva lot less useful. Just a thought. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I contacted XP customer service on their website to ask about their XP Pinpointers and if they're pulse or not, they never replied.  They don't appear to have fantastic customer service.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kac Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Not a fan of Amazon, not much different than Ebay. Better off with a known trusted dealer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
