Fisher and Teknetics have finally managed to produce a good, operational pinpointer. And their competitors should feel nervous really. Here’s a comparison: the Teknetics Tek-Point, Garrett Pro-Pointer AT, and Makro Pointer. Depth testing the coins and gold. Can you guess which probe sees the deepest? Continue reading
Back in my days, the only test performed with a metal detector was the one on depth, and everything was clear after the first sweeps with a search coil. A modern approach to a detector is not as simple, including a wide variety: a recovery speed test, a test of how a unit emits false responses, a test on brick and gold, a salt water/beach test, a gold chain test, etc. You want to buy the device that really yields finds, don’t you? Or will any rod that makes a beeping sound and costs $25 be enough for you? Here’s an illustrative test showing how the Nokta Impact works on salt beach: how the machine reacts to a gold chain and whether or not it’s possible to miss such a find. Continue reading
