Hello, Comrades! Diggers, treasure hunters, «black» and «white», archaeologists and scrap metal collectors, in general, all those who come to our blog one way or another, because we are united by one — the desire…

What to do with a pinpointer while hunting? I don’t have a 100% solution to this question. When reconnoitering a new hunting site, with a backpack left in the car and a belt worn under the outer garments, once again I have a problem:…

Depar has started releasing not only metal detectors, but coils under its brand name… This is the case when a distributor becomes a manufacturer. This fact is clearly not ordinary, the original manufacturers won’t like it. The Depar…

Not so long ago, the London authorities decided to collect money from citizens tinkering with or without equipment in the mud on the banks of the Thames. This kind of pastime at a roasting place is called «mudlarking». Now the…

In my childhood there was a story: two schoolboys dug an underground burrow. A site was chosen near the railway station. The burrow collapsed after yet another freight train passed by. One boy managed to pop out of the hole whereas the…

Who will win? 400 metal detectors vs a road-roller… I know why the machines lost. The point is that these are fake, Chinese-made devices. If these were the true ‘originals’, they would win in the battle with a road-roller. Watch…

A lot of treasure hunters mean a lot of money. There are more than 100,000 detectorists in Poland, and surely there are people that will buy a Rutus Alter71. Not because it’s Polish-made – the machine is really interesting. All about…

Sometimes locals come up to me on the mine, look at what I’m doing, and then ask: how much gold have I found here already? If only these people knew how stupid their question sounds. After all, finding gold for a digger is a great success.…

The Teknetics EuroTek PRO machines failed to become the Garrett ACE killers. Such things do happen: there would seem to be a more awesome detector, but people buy the competitor. As a matter of fact, the Teknetics EuroTek PRO is really more…

What do detectorists with the White’s MX Sport complain about most? It’s metal detector music that is in a league of its own. There are even virtuosos. But are you ready to listen to such music while hunting? Minelab X-Terra 705…

Boys — handsome guys! They dug up a treasure trove of Polish coins, a noble coin, in the middle of a clearing. Everything that happens in the video seems to be true. Everything is as it should be — about a hundred coins…

One of the cases of finding a Viking sword in 2016 relates to the island state of Iceland. A company of wild goose hunters accidentally discovered this artifact right on the surface of the earth. Surprisingly, the object was most likely…

Video from 2015 from Lake Ilmen. Guys with fiskars and garretts are digging the sandbanks of the lake with, frankly speaking, enviable results! Fabulous lake conservation — The brass shines in the sun, the iron is just slightly…

What did you do in 2000? Did you already collect bottle caps or just throw them away? The first XP Adventis appeared that very year. The XP Adventis 2 came into being 4 years later… But now the machine is gone. R.I.P. The XP Adventis 2 has…

I am reproached for having laughed at a pinpointer with a loupe – kinda ‘people went out of their way to make such a thing, so if you don’t like it, don’t meddle’… It’s all the same to me who is taking…

For me personally, it’s a minor question about how the Fisher F19 can distinguish close together targets. My main question is of another kind: Would I agree to hunt with a pink metal detector? Watch the video: a Fisher F19 recovery…
