Does gold fever rise? Let's get ready and set off for the adventure!
The search for gold (also called Gold Prospecting) is certainly one of the oldest human activities in the world. The "Yellow Metal" is in fact one of the most desired natural elements, both for [...]
Why buy a second coil for your metal detector?
Very often those who owns a metal detector, after some time want to enhance its performance, perhaps increasing the detector's depth. The most immediate and effective solution is to buy a new [...]
Garrett APEX: 5 Practical Tips on How to Use It at Best
5 Practical Tips to use your Garrett APEX at the Top! The brand new Garrett ACE APEX is a state-of-the-art metal detector, equipped with:4 single operating frequencies (5, 10, 15 and 20 [...]
What (NOT) to do before sending a metal detector for service
In this third episode of "THE TECHNICIAN ANSWERS" we will talk with Luca Alpini, Service manager of DetectorShop about "What to do, and above all what not to do, before sending a metal detector [...]
Metal Detector ... tips for your first purchase
Who wants to buy the first metal detector is hit by a flurry of information, sometimes even really conflicting and misleading, on which model to choose, we suggest some precious.
Myths to Debunk #3: The signal intensity relies on the target volume
FALSE! The critical factor in the target detection with a metal detector is not about its volume but rather the exposed surface to the electromagnetic field transmitted by the coil and also its [...]
5 Practical tips for Militaria research with metal detectors
If you are fascinated by the search "Militaria" or the one that involves findings such as:Friezes Insignia Uniform buttons Helmets But also shells, ogives, magazines etc.Here we [...]
Myths to debunk #2: high frequency metal detectors hear gold better!
TRUE and FALSE! Metal detectors characterized by the use of realtively higher frequencies are those that demonstrate better sensitivity on objects characterized by lower electrical [...]
The larger the coil, the deeper will go...
TRUE and FALSE! More generous dimensions of the coil actually allow to produce a larger electromagnetic field and therefore, theoretically, the detector could reach greater depths. Generally [...]
Myths to debunk #1: the best detector is the one that goes deep!
FALSE! The best metal detector is the one that makes us have more fun! In fact, each of us has is own style of research, his own way of living this hobby. The main qualities of a good detector [...]
Myths to debunk #7: the speed of brushing has no influence on the depth!
FALSE! Most MOTION metal detectors need the coil's movement speed to be between a certain minimum and a certain maximum to provide good performance. If you are too slow you may risk not to [...]
Myths to debunk #6: detector's low batteries can reduces performances!
TRUE and FALSE! In some models of metal detectors, already when the charge indicator drops below half of the scale, decays in performance begin to be perceived. The classic case is that of [...]
Myths # 4: Multifrequency metal detectors are the best!
TRUE and FALSE! First, we need to distinguish between:Single frequency Selectable frequency (AKA Plurifrequency) Multi-frequencyMulti-frequency metal detectors in turn can be divided [...]
How to measure the Metal Detector performance
In this last period we have received many questions about how it is possible, in the most objective and impartial way, to evaluate the general performance of a Metal Detector. Of course we [...]
2 metal detectors in comparison: Multi Kruzer vs Multi Amphibian
The Multi Kruzer and Amphibious Multi models by Nokta-Makro represent 2 of the most powerful digital metal detector models on the market to date. Put in comparison, an inexperienced eye may not [...]
