Disassembly of the Garrett Vortex: What’s Inside the Metal Detector

There is an interesting conspiracy theory: All new metal detectors from global manufacturers (Garrett, Minelab, XP, Fisher, Nokta) are created by a single group of developers. This theory explains the main fact of the industry: why all new metal detectors resemble each other. The same technologies, features, algorithms. Nothing new.
