Each year I have this issue – do i need additional coils for my detector? We already have the standard coils which you can freely use without any problems. And also, the additional coils are very suspicious – who knows how and where they were manufactured? And if it breaks down, you can’t exactly take it for repair or replacement under warranty. However, the tought of the arrival on the field, and return with nothing (using standard...
Hi all! Finally I got new Garret ACE 400i and now can describe what’s inside the box. On the top there are some roman coins with green idyllic fields on background. Let’s start! To be honest, the box content made me happy. All You need is down here: detector, coil, earphones, covers, warranty, user guide, etc. Now I’ll show You all a little bit closer… Detector with it’s display, which...
So, not looking at the awful weather over here, i managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of detecting between the rainstorms. I went out to try out my new CORS Giant coil, and to be honest, i got some unexpected surprises. First of all, when i started assembling it, the bolt to the coil caught my attention. The bolt that comes with the Giant coil is kind of...
When there was a new metal detector released by the Turkish company Makro, the Makro Racer I reacted skeptically to this. How many metal detector manufacturers are there? Probably just another random manufacturer. But a few months later it began to appear interesting reviews, videos and photo reports about it and I thought about bying the Makro Racer. However, a year later, the company released a new version – Makro Racer 2, I...
The amount of “talk” has increased greatly the last ten years (thanks to the internet), and i think the detectorists have noticed it too. I personally dont like to post and “announce” things like “Fisher is releasing a New detector in August, Deus is coming out with a new model the same month!”, and then we reach September and rumors remains rumors. In this blog we only write checked and researched...
Here is my report from the last weekend being digging on a farmfield using Nokta Fors Relic detector. So far I decided to improve it a little bit and added big DD coil. This is 39.5×34 cm (15.5″x13″) searching coil produced by Nokta as well. First of all I managed to play around with DEP (Deep) mode and high sensitivity level (set at 85) on a open hayfield near the...
It is a story from June 2011. Two guys from Redditch (Worcestershire, England), Jethro Carpenter and Mark Gilmour, were detecting on a farmland on Bredon Hill while they found something. At the depth about 50cm there were several sherds of pottery and coins… quite many coins. Yes, it was a big clay pot full of 3rd century coins! When realized it they contacted local Finds Liaison Officer. After a couple...
After I bought the brand new Makro Racer 2, during a very short time (less than a season, the unit was released in 2016!) it became the metal detector for all my needs. Even though I haven’t gotten down to the beach with it yet, I have dug a lot of coins from the Russian Empire. But recently I went to a place where there were some small battles in...
Here is another motivation post for WW2 battlefield in North Karelia (East front). Looks like really nice place for WW2 relics hunting. Enjoy! Rusty German helmets, canteens, bayonets, carbines, etc., right from the lost bunkers and trenches. AT mines’ ‘Tellermine’ holders were collected together by the Germans and left as it was… WW2 relics in the forest… Abandoned many years ago German bunker. More related posts can be found...
A hobby detectorist found a 700 year old gold ring during a morning hunt in a farmers field in Warrington, England. Patricia, who found the medieval ring arrived at the field at 6am in the morning, and after an hour of hunting she found it. After she found the ring, she handed it over to the Museum of Lancashire, who found out that the ring could date back to 1,300-1,400AD. Its material is gold with a stone in it...
