Question I need Help!

Hello, I came across a Seben professional model metal detector and I cannot get any info about it. I went to the manuf. site it is all in German. Is any one familiar with it? I did some research on what all the buttons mean, but there are a couple of things I could not find, like what is the yellow "trigger type" button for ? I have never been metal detecting but cannot wait to go try it out but need some info first. Any reply would be greatly appreciated, Thank you, Pan Handle sis

First of all, welcome to Treasure Quest!

If there is writing on the button you can get the word translated here: http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Otherwise, write what you need to translate in a post here and I will see if I can translate it and give you an idea what it is.

Here is their website (in English) . Unfortunately, no manuals.

Default hi

Might i suggest one thing,, think about this,,where are you going to send it to get repairs,,i'm not sure what your paying for it ,,but there are alot of options and price ranges on most of the top name brands, and they do come with a warranty,,check out some dealers on the web, some even have demo models and referbs..if moneys tight,,but i think youl'd be better off sticking to name brands that you can get parts for if something goes wrong,,also alot of accessories are avalible,,ie coils,,sound amps,,ect.,,
just a thought,,,

Default I have to agree

Getndusty is right. The price might seem low, but is it worth the possible headache further down the line?

I agree with dusty, make sure they have a great support outfit before going any further. That is very important for your investment. I havent read anything about seben MD's but I did work in Germany and I know they have some serious Tech savvy..

Maybe the yellow trigger is for pinpointing or it releases a little german guy that digs the hole for ya!!! good luck
