Bolshoy Tyuters Abandoned Island – Full Of WW2 Wehrmacht Relics!

A lot of my friends always say things like: “there are no places left for metal detecting, soon we will only be detecting at some local parks and beaches!”. However, I am sure that, at least in Europe, we have plenty of places full of history, and we will need more than 500 years to search it all with metal detectors. We will even leave a lot of cool spots to...

New Patent by First Texas Products – a fresh brief of Pulse Induction technology?

Do you know, that there are only two technologies in metal detecting – “Pulse Induction” (PI) and “Very Low Frequency” (VLF). Also Minelab has it own FBS and FBS2, but I don’t know how it works and is it an independent technology or just an improvement of VLF? PI is good for high mineralized grounds and many underwater detectors are working on this technology, VLF is common for almost 80%...

Metal Detector Fisher F44 – what is in box? (+photo review of kit)

When FisherLab released it’s new detectors line for beginners (F11, F22 and F44) I thought that it must be a good competitor for Garrett ACE series of metal detectors. For many years Garrett ACE detectors were the bestsellers for beginners and a lot of manufacturers tried to compete, but noone has a success at all. I saw in Fisher F44 a real competitor of Garrett ACE 350 (EuroACE) – and...

Fisher F22 Metal detector – short video review

FisherLab released in 2015 3 new metal detectors for beginners – F11, F22 and F44. Why not F33? Don’t know, probably that name is booked for any other detector for future release, will see in next seasons! F22 is one of the most interesting models of FisherLab detectors released in last 2 years. Why so? Because it’s cheap, for it’s price (about $250) it’s powerful and show a good results,...
