Some bloggers recently wrote that the future of the known company Minelab “is not looking bright”. They wrote that Minelabs “top executive” Gary Schafer left the company to sell “umbrellas, pens and stickers”. Therfore we decided to do a little “research” and find out, are these rumors true? Are these simply rumors created by bloggers who are eager for attention and sensation, and who are trying to convince us this is true? First of all: Yes, Gary Schafer has...
Around couple of months ago I’ve heard about new project by Nel, but noone knew what project is it and what coil would it be. For today I got only these, I wouldn’t share any names, but got this picture by one of my blog follower – Nel Thunder coil will be released in September 2016, so stay tuned, I will get more news probably soon and as addition some...
So recently the guys from Nel had full reason be proud over a new diploma and a great achivement:- “Best company of 2016”. Even though the year is not quite finished, in Ukraine they have already started giving out titles. For a company that produces metal detectors and gadgets for this hobby, this is always good news. It “promotes” our beloved hobby, it gives us better reputation, and sets us...

Around 20 thousand people are each year killed or hurt by landmines that are left after wars. Therfore the military and goverment of the affected lands are desperate for effective methods to get rid of them. This one may be one of the best solutions so far. The mine-drone is basically a radio-controlled...

Am i the only one who have noticed that in the last time there has been a lot of news reports about hoards of roman coins and relics being found in England? Is it because of new and better detecting equipment or because of more people taking to this hobby? What do you think? For example not so long ago a hoard of over 2000 roman coins and other relics including...
At my opinion every test is just like some spherical horse in a vacuum, but at least it useful for guys who are looking for a new detector, just to get know, how it probably works. But I want to tell you – never trust so much to tests, every detector will bring you a lot of finds and most of the good finds were detected by cheap detectors. I...

Do you think they deserved it? The detectorists...

It was discovered while digging on a farmer’s field near the old village on depth about 30 cm using my Nokta Fors Relic detector. The signal was strong and clear enough! Describing the find it’s related to Charles XI, probably the greatest of all Swedish kings. He is...
