Yes DMF10, in local shops price is 125e. I tested it and compared with Skill.
Not better than Skill. Skill is noticeable better and costs only 75e...
However..i have hunch those are based on same machine inside; same controls,same processor... What is difference? Most probably some adjustments and coil!? Not sure. And of course brands; Bosch is always more expensive than Skill !!!

Look F2,F4 and F75...and compare with some Fisher models... same old story continues again and again...

Automax is selling production on price $139.

automax is a clone from German simple handy metal detector, I believe.

Hi,
I think you're probably right: I think too it's a clone of some old project, from a magazine.

I've built myself a couple of them, but not as good... they use ics but this small transistor one it better than those.

Also... today I found there's another Bosh made stud detector that's maybe better than the "skill" one... do you know it ?

It's rated 10cm on ferrous and 8cm on copper buried stuff, coin sized... not bad for such small coil there.

For Ivconic: do you know that model from bosh , DMF10 ???

Kind regards,
Max

Thanks ivconic for the info, it appears they are not available here in the States else I would have to buy it and see .
Maybe Eugene can run a search and see if they are here, it appears Bosch and Skil are the same company, the Skil website says " Robert Bosch Tool Corporation".

What really amazing me is "timber detection" feature!!! It works for real, and it works much deeper!?
How the hell they managed that!? What is the catch!?
I would like to understand that better!
Someone can help?
Explain?

[ivconic]

You provoked me to search and see;

"• Detection depth: ferrous metal up to 80mm, copper 60mm, electrical cables 50mm and timber 20mm.."

Look how modest they are!?
Actually device showed much better performances than in this advertisment!!
Quite oposite than in many advertisments for hobby metal detectors! Wow!

http://www.axminster.co.uk/user_search/1/sfile/1/jump/0/product-Skil-550-Wire-and-Pipe-Detector-480436.htm

And if you pay attention, down to page there is that Bosch i tested . Works nice also, but Skil is deeper much!? And Bosch is more expensive!? Must be the brand thing!?

[ivconic]

Oh yes Steve,
mostly i am taking Spectrum with me on the field, which is very deep and accurate detector. Yet, when using deep custom program, pinpointing is not accurate with it, so this Skil helps much! Many times small item appear at side of a hole, not center. Without this nice pp i could dig deeper and deeper, all the way down to China! Good if i want to catch olimpic games a bit!
I do recommend this one for sure!
Regards!
