Comparison between pinpointers. Test on gold
See this test and you will know how to choose a pinpointer and what things should be checked while buying this one. Here’s a comparison between the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT, White’s TRX and Deteknix XPointer Wader: testing on gold targets. Let’s have a look at how different probes can see a small nugget, a bigger one, and how they react to a gold chain. Continue reading

The manufacturer has loudly announced that its new Golden Mask 5 Plus equipped with a 9 DD coil is greatly superior to other detectors with the 11 DD ones. Moreover, they revealed the test videos showing the Mask 5 Plus is deeper that the Makro Racer 2, even… in the Deep mode. That got me interested. Can it really be possible? Continue reading
How to properly reduce the pinpointer’s sensitivity
Is it better to decrease sensitivity by using the sensitivity level or power button? First, there is also a third option for reducing sensitivity. And it is unclear why metal detectorists ignore this one. Aren’t they aware of it? Second, the situations may be different, and each one demands its own response. Continue reading
Golden Mask 5 Plus: recovery speed test
Choose the frequency of 18 kHz, adjust the Gain 0, and… at these settings it’s possible to get the Golden Mask 5 Plus to perform at the circus. You can put the nails and coins in rows, bury the coins below the nails, and accept your round of applause – given to the great and mighty Golden Mask 5 Plus (with regard to the target separation, that’s for sure).
