Today I am going to tell about Turkish detector Nokta Fors Relic since I’ve been using it already for half a year. Let’s begin with Search modes implemented in this device. There are six different ones – GEN, DI2, DI3, COG, DEP and SWT. To be honest, there is a choice to think about. General Mode is the same as All Metals mode in some other detectors. It’s actually the...
