How is it right to perform a recovery speed test – in discrimination or all metal mode? On the one hand, most treasure hunters disc out iron, so it makes sense to perform the tests in discrimination mode. On the other hand, it’s an initially flawed test. Here’s a video to watch: a Teknetics T2 Classic recovery speed test. Continue reading
Identical soil conditions, search coil in a fixed position, invariable range of targets… While conducting the depth tests of your machine to be compared with others, you should do it the right way, as well as keep in mind special conditions. For instance, while carrying out a test you can add two targets at different depths. Here’s this very case: a proper depth test of Teknetics T2. Continue reading
Here’s a depth test video: Makro Racer 2 vs Teknetics T2. The test is being conducted using the alternative coils – Nel 12×13 DD Tornado vs Detech 13 DD Ultimate. Continue reading
Have you ever seen a metal detector with a folding shaft? When the machine unfolds like a pocket knife? Take a look at this one, it’s really unusual and interesting. Maybe this idea will inspire you to invent more sophisticated tricks – for instance, to make a unit with two shafts (that kind of thing already exists). Continue reading
Fisher and Teknetics are warning about China fakes of their metal detectors. See the photo (a sad similarity, it is impossible to distinguish). Continue reading
