COILTEK has unveiled its latest product: the 18″ MYTHTEK Coil, specifically designed for the MINELAB Manticore detector. This new coil promises to revolutionize the way treasure hunters approach their hobby, offering unprecedented depth and sensitivity. Continue reading
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. Take any of the most modern detectors, and it turns out… this already existed 20 years ago. Probably, the specialists in this group of developers are very old (a second-level conspiracy theory).

Seven years ago, at a meeting with their representatives, Garrett’s manufacturer proudly boasted of their achievements. When asked about Minelab’s new products, they responded, “don’t believe in paper tigers.” Well… Time has shown that the tigers were not made of paper, and today Garrett is doing everything they can to catch up.

When there was a pandemic (do you still remember that time?), one of Garrett’s top managers was being interviewed. He was asked – Which internet messenger do you prefer? He answered -. Phone. Thanks for not asking him to send his questions by paper mail. In the metal detector market, the Garrett brand is almost the oldest (only the Fisher brand is older), with a lot of weight from the past. Alas, it is not about revolutionary technology and answers to competitors. Continue reading
In the 1960s and 70s, there were dozens of metal detector manufacturers. From Grandpa Garrett’s memories, there were more than 50. Only two names have endured to this day: Garrett and Fisher. Few people know that Minelab’s history began only in the 90s when the main technologies were already established. The first multi-frequency metal detectors did not carry the Minelab label. Today, the Australian manufacturer claims to be the industry leader… Yet, they produce rather strange detectors that provoke more bewilderment than interest. Continue reading
