Time will tell whether the Fisher F11 with a small coil is competitive with the Garrett ACE. But even now Fisher is setting a new standard of power supply for metal detectors – 2AA. Watch the video: unboxing and quick start with the Fisher…

I am not a super hunter and I’m always ready to learn. Here is how my treasure hunting habits have changed in a year and what I never could master. I identify a target with the toe of the coil I determine whether to dig a certain…

Fisher has promised to make 15 (!) new detectors. And a smart metal detector must be atop… Any competitor must lose sleep over these words (or smile?). Do you remember a picture where the metal detector of the future immediately indicated…

Are Minelab coils reliable? See the photo report: opening the Minelab X-TERRA 10.5 coil for repairing the cable entry point. The coil is repaired in much the same manner as it’s done in the service centre. This will surely be helpful…

The XP Deus metal detector is so cool that in its search programs it is possible to create a pattern… which will work as a pinpoint mode. I am not aware of any other machine capable of repeating this. Creating the XP Deus pattern that…

Have you seen the size of the Minelab Go-Find 40 armrest? While plastic is of excellent quality, the entire construction is loose and vibrating. See the photos and read the first opinions of Minelab Go-Find 40 owners. The first impression…

Here’s an underwater search with the Minelab Excalibur 2, one of the best metal detectors for beach and underwater hunting. Watch the video: a practical underwater search with the Minelab Excalibur 2. All about the Minelab…

Screw me dead! Whites has rolled out the new products of 2015. These are the low-end Whites TreasureMaster and Whites TreasurePro metal detectors – yet another ACE 250 ‘killers’. And they will probably get it! See all features…

Why do the cheap machines from Fisher and Teknetics have the twist locks on their shafts whereas the super popular Garrett ACE units don’t? One year after buying an ACE device, its owner will hear a perceptible rattle in the shaft. This…

My first metal detector was the Garrett ACE 250. When the time came to improve the quality of my searches, I chose the Garrett AT PRO as the second machine. What has become better after the ACE 250. The Garrett ACE 250 is an excellent metal…

Here’s a pictorial report of the Garrett GTI 2500 teardown for repair. What’s inside the electronics housing. What microcircuits are used in this machine. Everything is seemingly based on modern technology, but still, the Garrett GTI…

Watch the video: a White’s MXT Pro recovery speed test. It’s not a simple test, but a nail board one. By applying this test, it’s possible to compare a few metal detectors. Metal detector manufacturers often commit…

Here are the Fisher CZ-3D and Teknetics Omega 8000 machines being tested on their ability to separate close together targets. The comparison test is being conducted with the stock coils, in a Monte’s Nail Board Test format. It’s a really…

In my opinion, a White’s TRX pinpointer isn’t usable enough as, for instance, a Garrett Pro-Pointer is. The White’s TRX doesn’t complete a full 360° detection area – providing a tip only detection. There are also…

How to insert the rechargeable batteries into the metal detector is a topic of interest that is really useful for those who are a little bit handy. Believe me, in five years a metal detector without rechargeable battery will be like a cell…
