....
What to say? Sirius was huge disappointment for me than.

It is far bellow from what is advertised to be.
I still remember idiotic advertise that i saw somewhere, made by some Greek seller.
He showed detection at 8 meters !!!



No way! Not even quarter from that!

User interface at Sirius is more than slow and irrational. Many "colors" and shiny bars everywhere on the LCD screen ... but no benefit from that.
It is very slow and poor design.
Adjustments are pretty funny settled in menus and pretty irrational for our common logic and habits.
Best result i gained with coil 50x50cm (or it was 40x40cm).. was detection of silver piece 10x10cm barely at 40cm in air!!!!!



I spent 4 hours adjusting it and experimenting with various setups. No progress...
Device itself is packed in pretty nice and quality package. Everything looks so neat and nice.
Coils are different story. Smallest one (on the photo) is made good.
But other coils are reminding me more on some home made than product made by serious manufacturer.
All the coil connectors are low quality (read "Made in China" - worst quality).
At each connector cable is soldered bad and already dangling inside.
Large coil was shipped without some holders and mating elements.
etc...etc...etc...
Overall... pretty disappointing (considering very hot price and advertisements).
