Hi all,
While I'm playing about with the old Aldi machine to get the feel of things(bodged the broken handle back together), I'm still researching what modern unit to buy and I came across something unfamiliar to me as a neophyte, the Gold AKS TR/LR Detector from Israel.
With the right video editing one can make almost anything look good, but I was wondering why no detecting forum I have so far visited even mention them or anything like them.
Are they something new?
Are they total shyte?
Are they a scam?
I have hunted for reviews but unfortunately they have all either been in a foreign language, or more infuriating, just some guy wandering around with the unit waving and swinging and not saying a word to describe WTF he's doing.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
I would imagine if they were as good as their makers tout them, you guys would be using them.
Several things that made me think it may be a wooden nickel, they claim it detects diamonds, they claim it can detect down to 70m (that would be a big hole in the beach) and at a range of up to 5km :lol:
Even I know that sounds like BS.
