When I had just started to detect, I did not understand anything when the more experienced diggers said strange words: “discrimination”, “Ground Balance”, “mineralization”. Especially, when I bought my first metal detector, I did not even know that it was necessary to do some ground balancing. Why do I need to ground balance my metal detector? And did you know that if you do not adjust the ground balance properly,...
For me, the covers for Fisher (my Fisher F75) was particularly necessary, because I often dig in any weather, and my kit did not include this accessory. I got my cases through a friend of one craftsman who makes such things at home, and takes not as much as stores from the internet. Maybe it is pleasant to dig when it is hot on a dry lawn, but this happens...
In 2016, Garrett presented a restyled line of detectors for beginners and professionals – Garrett ACE 200 / 200i, ACE 300 / 300i and ACE 400 / 400i. To clarify the similarities and differences between these models in order to make it easier for you, I will explain it now. To start off, all the new detectors have a VDI in the range of 1 to 99, as well as...
To this day i haven’t written so much about the Minelab E-Trac here. We have kind-of undeservedly passed by this detector, which is not good. We hope to fix that very soon.? The internet contains a lot of unnecessary information, and therefore it sometimes is very difficult to find something useful for a E-Trac user, especially for those just starting out. I will try, in the new season 2017, to change this...
I remember when I was just starting metal detecting, I did not consider a pinpointer for a necessary gadget to have. I had a metal detector with the standard mono coil, and therefore i did not dig any deep holes. Therefore i often found the target pretty quickly. “And why do we need this pinpointer?” – I thought then. I kept on thinking so until a friend of mine gave me...
At first I was skeptical to electrolysis. I consider this as a”barbaric” method of cleaning. However, I decided to try it. As a test subject i chose the 15 kopeks silver coin 15 from 1926, with a silver purity of 500. The condition of this coin was no good- it was more dead than alive. There was black tarnish on it, which had previously tried to remove with a little citric acid. There was also...
Periodically i come across various people who try to innocently ask in social networks and forums whether this is a real engraving on the bayonet and how much it is worth? It is clear that we are dealing with a scammer who tries to possibly find a buyer, because a lot of diggers and collectors wants to take home a little souvenir or an object that would have had to do with the different...
Some about month or two ago I’ve posted about new release by Bounty Hunter – metal detector for the small diggers, lol, our kids, model Bounty Hunter Junior TID. I liked that idea, even more I have a cool idea for my son to get a cash for ice cream, lol! Today we take a look at another How-To video with the Bounty Hunter Junior TID. This detector is great...
To get right into it i will now tell you what settings you have and what is good to use when with the metal detector Ace 400i by Garrett. The menu on this device is quite simple, it is provided with a number of ready-made searching modes, and in addition you have the possibility to create your own. Next, to sort through the mods: Modes: All-Metal – this mode is used if you...
Without what can’t you go detecting? Some time ago, I would have said the pinpointer, but recently one digger shared a photo – he went digging with his Makro Racer and lost a coil in the literal sense of the word. He said that he used the coil as usual, without hitting anything, it just fell off. But you still want to continue detecting, right? Nothing else remains but to search the pockets...
