Do not metal detect on furrowed beaches. A tip I didn’t know about!
If you see a beach having a freshly combed appearance, with long straight furrows – as it is common on luxurious beaches where women are carrying diamonds and men are wearing gold crosses like priests do – there is no need even to unzip your MD backpack. At least half of all finds there, if not all of them, have already been picked up by others. How pleasant it is to walk along such a beach after all! Without finds though (( This tip is included in the book “Gold Things People Found On The World’s Beaches”. By the way, did you read this book? How do you like it? Continue reading
Minelab Equinox 800 Depth Test on beach sand
Three months have passed since you knew about the arrival of the revolutionary Minelab Equinox. For today, there is only one thing we can say for sure – the Minelab Equinox is better than the Garrett ACE 250. All the rest is in question. There aren’t any key factors even for the Minelab X-Terra 705 owners to get rid of their machines and urgently buy the Equinox units. But if you own such device as the Minelab Safari or a higher level one, you shouldn’t be distressed about the Equinox at all (Minelab officially described the Minelab Equinox abilities as the ones between the X-Terra and Safari detectors). Here’s an interesting and rather rare depth test performed on sand. Using: the Minelab Equinox 800 with a stock coil. Continue reading
Makro Multi Kruzer Salt Water Beach Test (+ gold test)
Here’s testing the Makro Multi Kruzer, a new product 2018, at the beach. How the machine reacts to dry and wet salt sand. What will happen if you fully submerge the detector’s coil in salt water. And taking all things together, how suitable the Makro Multi Kruzer is for beach hunting. Continue reading
Testing the Nokta Impact on chain (gold & salt beach)
Back in my days, the only test performed with a metal detector was the one on depth, and everything was clear after the first sweeps with a search coil. A modern approach to a detector is not as simple, including a wide variety: a recovery speed test, a test of how a unit emits false responses, a test on brick and gold, a salt water/beach test, a gold chain test, etc. You want to buy the device that really yields finds, don’t you? Or will any rod that makes a beeping sound and costs $25 be enough for you? Here’s an illustrative test showing how the Nokta Impact works on salt beach: how the machine reacts to a gold chain and whether or not it’s possible to miss such a find. Continue reading
Minelab Pro-Find 35 Salt Water Beach Test
While working with the Minelab Pro-Find 35 in saltwater it’s necessary to reduce sensitivity by using the +/- buttons. The junior Pro-Find 15 doesn’t have these ones, however. So, isn’t it possible to use the junior in saltwater? Certainly not. And this is primarily because of the fact that the probe should be able to withstand submersion. The Pro-Find 35 is submersible whereas the Pro-Find 15 isn’t. Here’s an interesting and useful test: how the Minelab Pro-Find 35 works in dry and wet sand, how it behaves when submerged in water, how buoyant it is. Continue reading
