No one will argue that the Turkish manufacturer was the first to make a smart metal detector? Not Fisher, not Minelab, to say nothing of Garrett in that respect. It was those impudent newcomers that have grabbed a decent MD market share from some manufacturers. Take a look at how a Nokta Invenio, the first smart machine, works. Continue reading
Here’s a pictorial review of the mini Deteknix Scuba Tector teardown: what’s inside the machine, how to remove the circuit board from the unit. Underwater though it is, the device can be easily opened – a screwdriver and a minute of exercise are enough. On the one hand, reparability is so damn important. On the other hand, it’s always better to avoid such moments. Do you agree? Continue reading
Minelab Equinox, Quest PRO, Makro Multi Kruzer, XP Deus, Garrett AT MAX, and others…
Here is great comparative testing of metal detectors in saltwater. Which one will be the best? It’s really an interesting (and important) test! Continue reading
This blog contains some posts about smart metal detectors of the future, and it’s definitely a good thing. But why today is nobody speaking about a smart pinpointer, or at least the one of the future? As it’s an open question which of these two will become smarter first. So, let’s take a look at… I don’t even know how to call it properly. This probe can’t be called smart, but surely nobody will argue that it’s a unit that has come from the future. Just imagine: you put the pinpointer on your finger like a usual ring and turn into a hero – Detectorist-Man. Just look at this interesting and unexpected solution, you certainly haven’t seen such a conceptual idea before: Continue reading
The Minelab Equinox owners have come up with a suggestion – to add an in-line filter to the coil cable. This poses two questions at once: how can this filter help you increase the amount of good finds? And, if it really works, why don’t other machines have this thing yet? Dear expert metal detector users, please give us your opinions about the viability of this improvement to help our readers decide – whether or not they should put such dirt-cheap filters on their devices or, the other way around, should avoid wasting time on a fool’s errand.
