Nokta, the Turkish manufacturer, has rolled out an unusual novelty… Let’s be honest: who believes that manufacturers can surprise us with such thing as a pinpointer? After the launch of a wireless XP Mi-6, as well as a Minelab Pro-Find 35 probe with its discrimination feature, there is nothing that can surprise us anymore. And yet, the Turkish manufacturer did it! Here comes a new product – Nokta PulseDive, the world’s first wireless transformer pinpointer. You surely haven’t seen such a thing before. 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.

It seems to me it’s not really the original accessory, and the chances are you can find the aftermarket ones too, as well as a waterproof remote control cover. 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
Do you remember a pinpointer on a stick? After this kind of stuff, it’s nothing to be surprised at the Vibra Tector 730 on a shaft. Quite the opposite, you start thinking that this idea has legs. See the photo report: the Vibra Tector 730 attached to a ground search shaft. Continue reading
