Here’s a warning to all Minelab Equinox 600 / 800 owners: do not try to open the detector control box. Having spent 15 minutes attempting to uncover my machine, I completely destroyed the housing. It’s a good thing that I bought 2 units at once, otherwise it would be rather ridiculous: sort of you paid your money but never went out detecting with that device. Continue reading
However strange it may sound, but the Minelab CTX 3030 owners feel indignant. Everyone has been aware of the fact the Minelab Equinox waterproof headphones connector doesn’t fit into any socket on other Minelab devices. But recently Minelab announced the price for their Equinox waterproof headphones — $130.

You can buy the Chinese wireless Miccus SR-71 and try using them with your machine. I’ll let you in on a secret: it’s the same product but without the Minelab logo. Continue reading

Plus, it will surely come in useful for those who will be minded to repair their machines themselves (but don’t do it as in this case you’ll lose your warranty). Continue reading
In 2016, XP Metal Detectors, the French manufacturer, managed to surprise the metal detecting world with their wireless probe. It’s when you can hear the pinpointer’s audio response right in your headphones or you can make adjustments by using the detector’s control panel. But a much more awesome thing is an ability to remotely activate the alarm mode if your unit is lost. Now it’s 2018, and Garrett, the US manufacturer, has announced its new product – a wireless Garrett PRO Pointer AT Z-Lynk probe. Who would have thought it! In your opinion, will this pinpointer cost more or less than its donor? Continue reading
