Three configurations of the Golden Mask 5 (NEW 2015) have been announced. One of them has an unusual second coil. I haven’t seen such samples before. Have the metal detector manufacturers got a fresh idea – to make unusually shaped…

I keep going out with the Turkish metal detector. The real machine for coin hunting, I’m pleased with the result. Watch the video: one day with Makro Racer. Later I will add a category: Questions and Answers. It is relevant to the…

Everything the manufacturers tell about their devices doesn’t matter to me at all. I look at the result only. Do you want to know the real difference between the Minelab X-Terra 305 and X-Terra 705? All metal detectors bring finds.…

The best in the Garrett ACE 250 is that it really brings finds. But what is the worst in this device? For myself I found the answer to this question. Watch the video: a recovery speed test. I still consider the old Garrett ACE 250 to be one…

Although all metal detectors bring finds, the expensive devices make it a little better. Want to see how they do it? Watch the video. This is the Minelab Go-Find 20 test of the unit’s ability to separate several targets close…
