Testing the Nokta Impact on chain (gold & salt beach)
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
Comparison: Garrett AT MAX vs XP Deus. Recovery speed test
It’s 2017, and any new detector is still aimed at measuring up to the great and mighty XP Deus, released in 2009. A new Garrett AT MAX is not an exception… However, the machine that could be on a par with a divine XP Deus hasn’t been born yet. Continue reading
Fisher F-Pulse Depth Test. Most powerful pinpointer
No matter you want it or not, but pinpointers have increasingly greater depth capabilities. The joke about the probe that can surpass some low-cost metal detector equipped with a 7-8 inch coil is not a joke anymore, but a reality. And above all, when they tried to increase the pinpointer’s detection depth before, it resulted in lots of false signals, hence turning the device from a helpful tool into the one that is a pain. But now, some metal detector manufacturers have got an increased depth and stable operation provided at the same time. Here’s a Fisher F-Pulse depth test. Do you find this depth good?

Teknetics Tek-Point Review and Test. Take a look at this depth!
Picking up a gold ring lying flat at a 12 cm depth is an awesome result for a pinpointer. Here’s the Teknetics Tek-Point review and depth testing on coins and jewelry. After watching this video I want to try this probe in practice. Continue reading
Comparison: Garrett AT MAX vs Teknetics Patriot
The Garrett AT MAX is being smacked down. They don’t beat it against a lamppost just yet, however, no one, except bloggers and dealers acting as brand ambassadors, praises the new machine. But if its price is around $400, the Garrett AT MAX will immediately become different (really different). Do you have doubts? Time will show. Until then, here’s a comparative nail board test: Garrett AT MAX vs Teknetics Patriot. Continue reading
