Nokta Fors Core finds 2

One day with Nokta Fors Core

Once my friend called me and said: «Hey, I’ve found one place, where before were the positions of Wehrmacht, we could go and see what we can find there».

The assembly took long of course – it was the first time, later the assembly took shorter time, but that...

I think that many digging lovers sooner or later start thinking about digging at the places of the military operations, for example, of the World War II times. But before you start digging, I’d offer you to learn couple easy rules. It’s better to dig with a shovel with a long handle, otherwise, if you dig with a short-handled shovel, you can spend really long time opening a next trench,...

A Garrett company continues to make us happy with their new production.  It’s very interesting, when the new GarrettACE 200 and it’s International version, which will change GarrettACE 250 (and ACE 250i), will come to the retail, and how many time will it take for the Chinese craftsmen to put the similar novelties out to AliExpress? Though everybody is laughing from the Chinese fakes, still the Chinese will hardly be...

NoktaForsCoRe and a real discrimination test!

How often do we watch the discrimination tests? Especially when some new metal detector is released, and the manufacturer together with the retailers immediately start making videos about different tests – discrimination test, some reviews, excavation of a fake treasure e.t.c. But how can you really check your device for the discrimination? Once my friend and I went for a dig, to explore a new location, where are situated the...
