Last week I got the new 3D printed Detecting Doodads charging clip in the post, hopefully to replace the standard xp clip for long term duties. I have been through several XP charging clips in the past, mainly having breakages on the High frequency coil due to it being a very tight fit, and...

This might have slipped under the radar due to covidi, though XP are now offering some new panning and sluicing gear as of the end of last year. Batea pan https://www.xpmetaldetectors.com/blog-detection/en/news/field-test-xp-batea/ Full product range...

After being out in the market for a while now, the Simplex+ now had an expanded range of coils available, both from Nokta/Makro, Detech, and more recently a full range from NEL coils being released this month. First two coils from Nokta/Makro are the SP22 8.5" round coil and SP24 9.5"x5"...

Thought I would do a short initial impressions on the Simplex+, a detector that has really intrigued me for a while now. With Nokta/Makro offering the Simplex+ in a package with the pulsedive pinpointer and wireless headphones, it was a too greater temptation to pass up after mulling over a...

Thought it was time to start a new topic for the new year, this time covering finds from both the Deus and Equinox to see how they compare over the course of the year. First trip was brief thanks to howling winds down at the beach with the Equinox in tow, unfortunately our local beaches aren't...

I thought this was a pretty cool you tube clip showing the use of robotics etc on the in-house production of the Deus. :Y: https://youtu.be/hMqhVsYlCEU

Not a bad comparison on small gold over raked ground in Oz. https://www.detectorprospector.com/forums/topic/10189-xp-orx-vs-equinox-800-vs-gm1000-hot-ground-austr%C3%A1lia/

Have seen this pop up on another forum, a starter detector from Quest (formerly Deteknix) to compete in what is going to be a pretty crowded market for budget detectors. Weighs under a kilo, rechargeable, waterproof and has ground balance capability...

Looks like some of the US detector manufacturers are going to either have to revise their pricing or come up with improved models/features of their starter detectors to compete with the soon to be released Nokta/Makro Simplex. Indicated pricing is between $200-299 US for a single frequency...

Time to start a fresh topic for 2019, haven't been out much lately thanks to the weather, but managed a few hours out today to brush the cobwebs off and make a start for the year. Nothing too flash turned up except for the nice 1903-1904 SA dog tag and "gold" religious pendant, the coppers were...

Interesting clip for those that haven't seen the Anfibio in operation.

Set for release in October is the new three model Anfibio range, replacing the older Fors Core, relic and Gold. All the new models are waterproof to 5m, and are complimented with 7 optional coils. Pretty flash looking detectors though can't help but think about how it will compete alongside the...

Yet another update to sort out some bugs and improve connectivity. Is also meant to address EMI response on the x35 coils, though not sure how that will happen if the X35 coils are ignored during the update. The update is labelled as V5.2 B03 which indicates that it is a beta version, though...

If you haven't already found out on using V5.0, I have been having a fair few dropouts when switching back and forth with the Mi-6 wireless pinpointer and the Deus. Didn't have too many issues on the second outing, though all the same I still have a couple of dropouts during the day. The latest...

Has been a long time in the making after many requests to house the TDi platform in a waterproof housing, looks like it has at last come to fruition. https://www.whiteselectronics.com/product/tdi-beachhunter/

Only just noticed this this article, quite interesting read to see results from using different mediums, and what they recommended in the end to use as the safest and most thorough methods. Please note that this is a direct link to the PDF...

Mars MD have recently released a full range of coils to suit both Kruzer models, whilst relatively new to Oz they starting to gain a following worldwide as an option over the NEL products (they actually beat them to the market this time around). These coils are very lightweight to swing (I have...

Moving on from the initial release of the 3 frequency NEL coils for the 705, NEL are now offering dual frequency coils in a variety of sizes and choice of frequencies, and at a more affordable price. I can see the 7.5kHz/18.75kHz coils being the most popular and flexible choice over the two...

Garrett are going to re-release the AT version of the propointer (carrot) with inbuilt Z-Lynk wireless ability. Will need the Z-Lynk receiver if not using the AT Max. Here's a direct link to the PDF brochure: https://www.garrett.com/hobbysite/pdfs/1142200_Pro-Pointer_AT_ZLynk.pdf

Soon to be released standalone MI-4 pinpointer, minus the wireless mode and advanced settings of the MI-6 (only accessible if using a Deus). This is obviously released to compete with other mainstream pinpointers on the market, and with a new lower price to reflect that...
