Let's return to the question of cheap Chinese metal detectors, homemade MDs like “Pirate” or “Quasar” and all sorts of garage-assembled “Brilliant, secret inventions of engineers of the old Soviet school” Well, where an electrical distribution box is attached to two plastic tubes with superglue.
Don’t think that I’m criticizing this or speaking negatively in any way. There are so many people and so many opinions, and I just decided to write my opinion here.
In fact, from my experience as a coin cop, I met comrades with homemade products like Quasar or Pirate, and when I saw the finds in their swag bin, I was really surprised and completely reconsidered my opinion regarding the final result of the operation of these devices.
Yes they work and yes they work well. But, there is one nuance that novice diggers need to know about when choosing their first metal detector.
If you pick up Simplex + or branded analogues, then after just a couple of hours of the first release, you will begin to understand a little and understand what and how this device shows. Yes, to reach the pro level you need a little more experience, about 200 more hours, depending on the availability of the ingenuity guide. Odanko, in the first two hours you will intuitively understand what and how it works here.
Whereas, if an unprepared beginner, without the knowledge of a MIPT graduate, picks up a Quasar, then he will be able to understand this device no earlier than after two years of horse experience.
You need to understand that half the cost of modern metal detectors is the price for the software that the manufacturer installs there. And, all branded metal detectors are developed precisely with the condition, the most important condition, that a beginner, picking up the device, can understand how and what works within two hours.
That’s the whole difference, well, then the choice is yours, of course, if you don’t have a MIPT diploma
