Comparison: Minelab Equinox 800 vs Nokta Impact (target separation)
Here’s a comparison between the Minelab Equinox 800 and Nokta Impact: testing the detectors’ abilities to separate targets lying close together. It’s the most relevant issue for those who like to hunt the very trashy areas. Not every machine can work great in trash, although there are lots of finds there. 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
Nokta Impact for the first hunt. The best machine?
Blogger Michal Majchrowicz called the Nokta Impact the best metal detector among existing ones. The XP Deus owners are being advised to fade from sight and keep out of professionals’ way… Can it really be true? Continue reading
Nokta Impact: recovery speed test (the DI99 mode)
In my opinion, the DI99 program in the Nokta Impact detector is the fastest and the best to perform the recovery speed test. Usually I don’t use polyphony while hunting with any machine. But the polyphonic tones on the Nokta Impact are easy to perceive. Continue reading
Nokta Impact depth test
Will the Nokta Impact win recognition among detectorists? This new device is currently being compared with the Minelab CTX 3030 and XP Deus, the acknowledged leaders among ground search machines. Time and practice will show how fair this comparison is… Until then, here’s a Nokta Impact depth test. Continue reading
