I recently had a chance to chat on one of the most popular treasure hunters forum on the topic of our beloved Fisher F70. As always, in such cases, the discussion began about measuring the depths and the sensitivity to other well-known brands of metal detectors. Well, we are not people or what? And so, immediately a reader turned to me, saying that he recently had acquired the Fisher F-70,...
I decided to add this article to the previous story about digging with the Macro Racer 2 and the Nel Tornado coil. This time the three of us went to a field where I had found a fibula before, and bronze from the times of Kievan Rus. Objects from the late, as well as early Middle Ages, can also be found here. And this time I did not find anything from the times...
Many diggers want to improve their metal detector: increase depth, stability and so on. The only simple way to do it is – changing the search coil. And which coil is best suited to a specific model? Because they are presented on the market quite a lot. In order not to dry your head with a choice and not drown in the mass of reviews and video tests, you can...
Is it possible to find a gold coin with a cheap detector in the middle of the winter beneath the snow? Now you may think that im joking or that this is pretty unrealistic, but i will tell you: No problem! Here is the story of how a young detectorist found a golden coin in the winter with his Fisher F2 and NEL Tornado coil, let’s go! You know that...
If you have a metal detector with a basic coil, which you want to change to another, then before buying it, you will have to answer the difficult question: which one to buy? In most cases, the base sensor on the metal detector is to be changed to increase the depth of detection. But to be sure that the new thing will add depth of at least a few centimeters...
Usually, detectorists are divided into several categories – we have the “war-diggers” which digs old battlefields, there are “historians” who digs relics and coins, and there are “beach-detectorists”, who, like to listen to the sound of the waves and answer questions from curious tourists. Some people are a mix between these categories, but they all tilt more to one category. A friend has sent me photos from the summer as he...
My main metal detector used to be the Garrett AT PRO. I wrote a lot about it in the beginning, when i just had created the blog. Then I sold it and bought a Minelab X-Terra 705 with two coils. Naturally, the detector had a great impression on me, because it was on a higher level of functionality than the AT PRO. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I do not know. AT PRO was good,...
Every day, the temperature is slowly creeping down, and the winter is getting closer. In the forest, a thick layer of leaves has covered the ground, and in the fields, farmers have already harvested their crop. As long as the ground is not covered by ice, i decided to go out detecting. This time i decided not to go too far, but rather to a nearby field. The farmer plowed...
Finding a gold coin is always a big event. Even if it’s a Roman Empire aureus. This coin will be a top find and coin for your collection, that is such story to be told for many times to friends and local diggers. A guy from Ukraine have found such a golden coin and he made a video about it. Just interesting to see how did he get it. I...
I always wanted to check some additional coil on my metal detector, but had no chance yet. Got this review from our follower, Stephen Gray from UK: As you would expect the first thing I did when testing out the Nel Tornado coil was ground balanced it to see if it was as quick at this as the stock coil . It was very quick to balance , two seconds...
