- 2cm silver ring (only 1mm thin and very light) at 25cm with alot of metal stuff in the room.
- easy ground scanning with directly grafic display
- 30x45cm coil really not that heavy and broad search range (around 30cm in lengh by 80% power - coil overlapping on search)
- gold detection on display even with very small objects
- auto ground neutralizing
- deeper sound on cavity and brighter on metals
- sound can switched off - searching just by 4 different very fast responding display-meters
- good discrimination of very near large iron objects
- good iron vs. valuable metal displaying
- very fast boot up (20sec complete with ground effect elimination) and no problem to switch off whenever you like
- easy cleanable push buttons under plain plastic surface
- nice and practical black bag
- as good as no drifting
- possibility to find much deeper treasures lying on the ground of a mine, tomb, cave or whatever! (metal objects out of given search-range - don't underestimate this possibility!!!)
- looks cool and has a good colour (but thats a question of personal taste)
- 2 years warranty and good support in my country
- possibility attaching a 20x30cm Coil for smaller objects (nuggets on the ground etc.)
- 20 scan 3D pictures can saved internally
- scanning the ground with visual recognition of large objects - special important if they have the shape of a bomb or mine!
- you can sweep much slower over the ground as with motion detectors
- really a broadband-detector from very small to very large and very near to very far away
- Second Hand Price only ca. 1500 Euro in Turkey/Istanbul
- Price: ca. 3300 Euros (4500 Dollars) - that's alot less than Golden King but of course still too expensive for "mainstream"
contra:
- Price: ca. 3300 Euros (4500 Dollars) - that's alot money compared with relatively good Metaldetectors you can get already for 200 Dollars
- Lith.Ion. Batt Life just 3!?-5h (but there's a connector cable so evtl. you can built and attach your own akku pak)
- perhaps not capable of displaying the real shape of an
object - but i have to test this first - perhaps somebody here knows more about this topic
- Soundlevel 1 of 10 still a little bit too loud
- handbook is written in not always the best understandable english
- on high sensitivity sometimes recognises even missing of human body as cavity - if you go a bit away from detector (but easy manual adjustable)
- no discrimination adjustment on every level you like at the moment (just iron or not iron - at least i haven't found that adjustment yet)
- no USB or RS232 connection for data-transfer or easy firmware update by PC
Hope that overview wasn't to confusing and helps.
I'm just a normal buyer and not in contact with the producers or company. My other detector is a Fisher 1266-X, oldie but still goldie!
In the next tests i will bury some stuff in the ground and will try to find out more about target size and depth measuring.
If you have questions or want me to try something out, just tell me!
