Fisher F-Pulse Review in practice (+ opinions)
It’s really a shame that the MD-Hunter blog didn’t exist in the ’60s. We would have known for certain who and when was the first to make (and set to launch for sale) a pinpointer. As now it is anybody’s guess… Garrett, Fisher, or White’s? Today, any serious MD manufacturer has at least one probe in its lineup. Interestingly, it is not so simple to make a pinpointer. For instance, Nel promised to manufacture a super probe but failed. XP has managed to produce its pinpointer just now. Besides, this year (2017) we have seen 5 new devices at once: the XP MI-6, Minelab PRO-Find 35 / 15, Tenetics Tek-Point, and Fisher F-Pulse. Do you know what unites them? Great depth and ability to withstand submersion. Continue reading
Can you believe these items were found on a beach?
Any treasure hunt resulting in discoveries is a hard work. The more you dig, the more you find. But… Apart from this principle, there is another, more important one: where you come to dig is what you dig up. Take a look at the photos of these finds. Can it really be true? 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
Comparison: Garrett AT MAX vs XP Deus. Recovery speed test
It’s 2017, and any new detector is still aimed at measuring up to the great and mighty XP Deus, released in 2009. A new Garrett AT MAX is not an exception… However, the machine that could be on a par with a divine XP Deus hasn’t been born yet. Continue reading
Discovering the gold. One photo (Can you try it on?)
The question of whether or not it’s OK to put on other people’s rings found is really a childish level. There is a more awesome question instead. Should someone’s teeth discovered be tried on? Supposing these were gold? Here’s one photo: if one unearthed a gold find, it means that day was a success. But still… Would you be able to try on such a thing? By the way, the discovery was made with a Minelab CTX 3030 machine. Continue reading
