Minelab has announced the release of its new coils for the Minelab Equinox 600 and Minelab Equinox 800 metal detectors. A large coil providing greater depth and higher detection speed is a Minelab EQX 15 DD. The second is a sniper coil for trashy areas – Minelab EQX 06 DD. Continue reading
What’s better for a pinpointer: max depth or super sensitivity to tiny targets? Minelab revealed the two new probes: an expensive and a cheap one. And what’s the difference between them in terms of depth? It’s an interesting question. Here’s a comparison: testing the depth on the Minelab Pro-Find 35 vs Minelab Pro-Find 15. Continue reading
Right now there is a war between metal detector manufacturers. While things sort themselves out (some manufacturers are actually suing one another), petty wisecracks are being thrown into social networks. Interestingly, large manufacturers behave like gentlemen: Teknetics has made an apology to Minelab. Continue reading
Do you have a pinpointer? How will this one react if there is a coin and a nail in the same hole? Will you cope with or give up on such a difficult test? You surely have an old probe, but today we are going to talk about a new Minelab PRO-Find 35. I wonder whether it can be really helpful to a treasure hunter: without producing false signals, truly time saving, without hidden monetary losses, and above all, better than the old one. Here’s, to all true detectorists, a comparative test of the Minelab PRO-Find 35 in practice. Does Minelab’s new probe provide good performance or is it the useless beeping thing? Continue reading
While working with the Minelab Pro-Find 35 in saltwater it’s necessary to reduce sensitivity by using the +/- buttons. The junior Pro-Find 15 doesn’t have these ones, however. So, isn’t it possible to use the junior in saltwater? Certainly not. And this is primarily because of the fact that the probe should be able to withstand submersion. The Pro-Find 35 is submersible whereas the Pro-Find 15 isn’t. Here’s an interesting and useful test: how the Minelab Pro-Find 35 works in dry and wet sand, how it behaves when submerged in water, how buoyant it is. Continue reading
