To all Garrett AT MAX, AT PRO, AT GOLD owners (+ ACE ones)

It’s an open secret that the Garrett AT MAX housing is an absolutely exact copy of the Garrett AT PRO and Garrett AT Gold. So it means that problems with mounting the detector control box on its shaft have moved to the new machine as well. Here’s a simple solution for how to prevent a situation when the plastic housing may crack and fall off the shaft. This problem also often occurs to all Garrett ACE owners, including those who have new modifications. Keep in mind this option, maybe it will come in useful with other machines too (not only made by Garrett). Continue reading →

Minelab EQX 15 DD coil (compared to EQX 11 DD). Feedback

Minelab call their coils for the Equinox detector as “smart”. However, the manufacturer clearly didn’t expect that hobby enthusiasts would put their neat piece of work first thing in the x-ray machine. I want so much to believe that the word smart is not just defence against manufacturers of aftermarket coils, and not yet another marketing trick in order to slap an extra $300 on top of their coil’s price. By the way, have you seen how much the coils for the Minelab Equinox 600 and Minelab Equinox 800 cost? Check it out and you’ll respect great and mighty Minelab again. Continue reading →

Cool 3D Printed Coil Cover for Minelab Go-Find

Not many people know that for the last few years Minelab has been trying to actively stand against manufacturers of aftermarket coils. Are you aware of what the production cost of a plastic coil cover is? Being sold for $20-$25 per unit, this accessory is actually a dime a dozen. And they are always in demand. Plus, coils, repair etc. Well, I think you’ve got it: the coils-accessories-repair business is up there with metal detector sales. The only thing is that Minelab has been fighting against the wrong entities. Now everyone can do a coil or a metal detecting accessory himself. And the most unpleasant thing for the original manufacturer is that homemade parts often look much better than the branded ones. Let’s take a look at such an example: a cool coil cover for the Minelab Go-Find machine. By the way, this one has been already mass produced and gone on sale. Hello Minelab! Continue reading →

XP Deus doesn’t see the coil. Are XP scared of fakes?

What to do if the XP Deus or 4.1 wireless headphones don’t talk to the v5 coils? If, for instance, the XP Deus can’t find the X35 coil? Here’s some useful information to all XP Deus owners.
