It seems that someone has a very uneasy start in the new season. Minelab is quietly suing XP Detectors and it looks like they have some success in this matter. I recently found a document in which a judge from one of the US states passes a small resolution – XP Detectors filed an appeal against Minelab’s applications for using their patented technology, but the court refused them. Link to...
Hello friends, fellow detectorists and fans of our hobby! I recently went into the woods to test a new detector – the metal detector Nokta Impact from the Turkish company Nokta Detectors. For depth tests, I’m generally very cautious, because so many people try to wind up the result in one way or another, to sell more detectors. I stand a little away from this, I’m more interested in the...
In September, a great rally will take place in Great Britain, and in our opinion a “meeting” of diggers from all over the place. For sellers, this is a great chance to show themselves and advertise their store, for diggers – this is a chance to spend a pleasant time and buy detecting items cheaper than usual, and for manufacturers this is a great chance to show their public new...
There is a field near my city, on which many ceramic parts from the Chernyakhov culture (2 -5 c. AD) can be found for many centuries. This ancient settlement wass from the times of the Roman Empire, and it was huge (several square kilometers), so it’s not at all surprising that there are different kinds of stories about this place among diggers, I even know some of them. Story number 1....
WW2 excavations my friends, are not just shells and helmets, but also military aircrafts, vehicles and so on (with great success and desire of course). Every year there is less and less of it, but there are still many places where you can find different fragments, especially when it comes to airplanes. During WW2, every day there fell several dozen aircrafts in different parts of the huge Soviet-German front. And...
Hello friends! I haven’t written about optics for a long time now. I will return again to this favorite topic. At the moment, we are talking about the next German product made by Steiner, offering us very high-quality optics at a quite friendly price. The Steins produce not only binoculars, but also monoculars, telescopic sights, collimator sights with a red dot and just prisms, in general, the choice is great....
We have long been watching the release of the new Turkish metal detector Nokta Impact. Back in 2015, when it was first announced that they began work on a new metal detector that would have three frequencies and promised to show a good result, we strongly pricked up our ears. Which happened. The impact was released in 2017 and we have written about this novelty release already here: Nokta Impact...
Well, then? The story that lasted a whole year has finally ended – the “manufacturer” of Deteknix has sunk into oblivion. The court about First Texas and Deteknix, about which we wrote earlier here, has now ended. Now the Chinese will produce metal detectors under the new brand “Quest Metal Detectors”. An interesting trend: no matter how you will judge the Chinese, where one Chinese disappears, there will...
The crops will soon be harvested, and we will have yet another season for exploring what hides under the fields, I personally can’t wait! But in the meantime, how about getting a new detector for your “arsenal”, or just simply your first detector to open up the new season with? Well if so, then I will be happy to share with you the super deal by Teknetics! You get the...
One day me and two of my friends agreed on going detecting. But at the very last moment, when the metal detectors were already loaded into the car, one of the friends caught up with urgent business – so we had to go only the two of us. We didn’t know where exactly we would go detecting, since the harvesting of wheat had just begun, so it was decided to...
