Minelab Go-Find coil cover made from rubber hot-water bottle
It’s a problem to find a cover for the Minelab Go-Find coil as it isn’t supplied with the latter. The solution can be found only if you do a coil cover yourself. And so every enthusiast chooses his own option. For instance, making a coil cover from his granny’s rubber hot-water bottle. Looks good but what is to be done with its weight? Continue reading
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
Comparison: Makro Multi Kruzer vs Minelab Equinox 800. Ground test
Here’s a comparison: Makro Multi Kruzer vs Minelab Equinox 800. Which machine sees deeper and doesn’t read non-ferrous objects as ferrous ones? Is it the Makro Multi Kruzer?

GTX3030: Chinese-made fake Minelab CTX 3030. Did it really happen?
A GTX3030 metal detector appeared on Chinese websites. It’s strange but this one looks a bit similar to the already existing Minelab CTX 3030. Don’t pay attention, it’s just a coincidence. There is another name and no Minelab logo. So what claims can be made against the Chinese manufacturer? Minelab’s machine was released in 2012 whereas the release date of the Chinese-made unit is 2018. In addition, Minelab’s device costs $2,400 whereas the new Chinese product is priced at $198. I wonder whether Chinese could really fake the Minelab CTX 3030? Or they are selling e-waste in the likeness of a detector? Continue reading
