The detecting season will start soon and many of the diggers will face a dilemma of pin pointer choice. Some good finds are already sold, probably, but you don’t have a lot of extra money to spend on expensive equipment, so take a look at what are the cheaper alternative to the amazing Garrett PRO Pointer AT (really good pointer) and XP MI-6, which will soon appear in stores (there...
In 2016, Garrett presented a restyled line of detectors for beginners and professionals – Garrett ACE 200 / 200i, ACE 300 / 300i and ACE 400 / 400i. To clarify the similarities and differences between these models in order to make it easier for you, I will explain it now. To start off, all the new detectors have a VDI in the range of 1 to 99, as well as...
I remember when I was just starting metal detecting, I did not consider a pinpointer for a necessary gadget to have. I had a metal detector with the standard mono coil, and therefore i did not dig any deep holes. Therefore i often found the target pretty quickly. “And why do we need this pinpointer?” – I thought then. I kept on thinking so until a friend of mine gave me...
At first I was skeptical to electrolysis. I consider this as a”barbaric” method of cleaning. However, I decided to try it. As a test subject i chose the 15 kopeks silver coin 15 from 1926, with a silver purity of 500. The condition of this coin was no good- it was more dead than alive. There was black tarnish on it, which had previously tried to remove with a little citric acid. There was also...
Periodically i come across various people who try to innocently ask in social networks and forums whether this is a real engraving on the bayonet and how much it is worth? It is clear that we are dealing with a scammer who tries to possibly find a buyer, because a lot of diggers and collectors wants to take home a little souvenir or an object that would have had to do with the different...
Some about month or two ago I’ve posted about new release by Bounty Hunter – metal detector for the small diggers, lol, our kids, model Bounty Hunter Junior TID. I liked that idea, even more I have a cool idea for my son to get a cash for ice cream, lol! Today we take a look at another How-To video with the Bounty Hunter Junior TID. This detector is great...
To get right into it i will now tell you what settings you have and what is good to use when with the metal detector Ace 400i by Garrett. The menu on this device is quite simple, it is provided with a number of ready-made searching modes, and in addition you have the possibility to create your own. Next, to sort through the mods: Modes: All-Metal – this mode is used if you...
Without what can’t you go detecting? Some time ago, I would have said the pinpointer, but recently one digger shared a photo – he went digging with his Makro Racer and lost a coil in the literal sense of the word. He said that he used the coil as usual, without hitting anything, it just fell off. But you still want to continue detecting, right? Nothing else remains but to search the pockets...
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...
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...
