Has come to check up time for the prof. suitability such powerful machine as GPX4000, one of the newest and expensive metal detectors of such class. The detector has taken part in our expedition and we tested it in many places, under various weather conditions what to tell, konstruktiv at GPX4000 magnificent, the truth tells about "ease" of the detector I can of nothing, tjazhelovat slightly, all the same 2.5 kg, plus the accumulator about 1 kg, but he deserves it. GPX4000 was issued in October, 2006, all who used earlier 3500, I wish to tell that 4000, it is absolutely new car, with features which, in my opinion, will be pleasant to all who is engaged in this branch.
Let's look what innovations has entered Minelab in 4000:
Has appeared LCD the display, the truth it on the back party of the mainframe of electronics settles down, support of the user of the interface is expressed so-called DCS (Advanced Digital Control System) system, the menu at 40

On the test it has appeared new Fisher 1236-X2 metalldetektor, konstruktiv typical for Fisher, consisting of 3 parts. New 1236-X2 - Fisher's the latest version, its previous model 1235-X. Those who used 1235-X, know that it is simplified enough detector which works adequately, and new 1236-X2 does all the same, but it is more and better.
At first sight, 1236-X2 it is similar on 1235-X, but, has a little unique and valuable enough improvements. From which best it Silencer circuit.
1236-X2 works on low frequency of search 5.7 KGTS. Two modes of search, static (a mode pinpojnt) and dynamic in a discriminator mode.
Four regulators — three of them – multipurpose, switch Silencer, the button pinpojnta, an exit on ear-phones and built in dinamik. Electronics block is put on a bar on runners, as at Fisher's majority, simply and conveniently.
A detector food is carried out from two 9-volt batteries. Has mode VCO.
Minelab Sovereign GT has reached and our test platform. About Sovereign it is possible to tell long and basically positive things, but we will strongly not go deep into an essence and we will consider this detector from outside the simple user. If a little to recollect that the first in own way was Sovereign XS having 17 frequencies of search 1.5 kgts to 25.5 kgts, BBS (Broad Band Spectrum), behind it left Elite and here at all for a long time it has replaced GT. That these give 17 frequencies to the detector, basically, consistently to find out and distinguish the purposes more more precisely than unifrequent metal detectors, especially in soil having a high mineralization, on sea beaches. The first change in GT is obvious, unlike Elite at it change the top bar, so to say S a bar, now at GT there is a straight line, without bends a bar, for metal detector keeping the handle as at GP models, but there is also an European variant with S a bar is added. It would be d

Sea Hunter Mark 2 works under scheme PI which does not react to salty water or black sand. This technology PI, is specially calculated on search in salty water, on a beach, and allows to conduct search in crude soil. A unique minus, absence of the discriminator. Though some PI detectors have discrimination of metals. Though it is possible and to tell that at Mark 2 there is a similarity of the discriminator which is at VLF detectors, it is named, discrete elimination threw - dust, supposes elimination of the certain undesirable purposes.
The metal detector has two modes of the discriminator, standard and discrete. The standard mode works, as well as all PI detectors and deduces a constant sound signal which is called Treshlod and which changes when the coil is over the purpose. Discrimination in this mode is possible, but at increase in the discriminator depth of search will be reduced, in the most extreme position of the discriminator it can decrease to 50

Metal detector Garrett GTAx550 was tested. In our opinion, the ideal detector for the beginner, here and pinpojnt, and two aaplets, in general, at first sight impresses. It is the improved model after GTA 500, was, the truth also GTAx500, but it from the same series as GTA, ostensibly spoke that have improved, but believe GTA 500 and GTAx 500 too most, and here GTAx550 it already an another matter, and sensitivity is better, and appearance has changed. That new in 550 models, well in the first it belltone, Crossfire 2 search coil, in difference from GTA with the first Crossfire. In the rest all the same, a car a ground balance, pinpojnt, two aaplets of search, a sound threshold, on the display of a picture of prototypes of the purposes of a steel more beautiful look!
The detector has 8 buttons of management.
Power/Hold to reset — includes, switches off the detector and allows to dump all options to factory installations by default.
On the test model Fisher 1270, this model is partially based on model 1266-X which became the original standard, in the world of searchers which prefer Fisher models 12XX. The first model of this series was 1260-X, in due time the most popular, then Fisher has let out 1266-X which became even better. Model 1270 combines all former functions plus new workings out which we and will try to check up in field conditions, and has been let out 1270 to 70 letiju firms Fisher.
Konstruktiv the detector typical for Fisher, 3 shtangovyj, a handle pistol, an armrest standard with softening small pillows. Ergonomics top-level, weight not big, about 1.7 kg with power supplies. 1266-X had such function Silencer, and here 1270 already has addition to it that does by its more universal and much functional detector. In 1270 began to apply new type of the discriminator separately on ferrous metal as there is also a regulator for standard function of the discriminator, is in the detector and fun

Here and to us the new model from Minelab, X-Terra 50 has got. More than year Minelab worked over new model. The first that is evident, when take in hands this detector, it is weight, 1.5 kg, everything that is not so typical for Minelab, we will recollect Explorer which weighs rather much. X-50 it is completed with 9 inch coil by default.
X-50 - The unifrequent detector, but Minelab has chosen other unique approach to eliminate one of lacks of unifrequent detectors. At a choice simple odnochastotnika VLF, working frequency frequently dictates a game rule, that is, lower frequency will find out more deeply, but is less sensitive to the small purposes and that of average conductivity, copper or gold type. Higher frequencies, are more sensitive to these purposes, but do not find out them so deeply. X-50 solves this problem, replacing (changing) frequencies, in the coil which is connected to the detector. The standard 9 inch concentric coil works on 7.5 kgts. For the increased sens

As well as all Prizm, the fifth not the exception, is very easy devices on weight, weigh only 1. 2 kg with batteries. Provide the maximum depth and the maximum covering, the detector is completed with search coil Prizm 950 (9.5-inch) with an aperture in the centre. With such coil Whites completes only 5th model. In the complete set there were also ear-phones Whites, the cartridge training to video (in English).
The detector fits well in a hand, ergonomic, all design is typical for Whites, black colour.
All adjustments and detector adjustment are simple enough and have the user, any zamudrennyh options, all is simple.
That attractively that the detector has 8 various types of the sound tonalities, everyone to the prototype on the discriminator.
For those who prefer smaller quantity of sound tonalities, Prizm V can be adjusted on 3х the voice-frequency sound discriminator (low/medium/high) that is I.D with 3 types of a signal on the response. Also

Here we also have received at last new Explorer SE for such long-awaited test, tested the detector in total week (6 days if to be more exact), on an hour 3 in day as time allowed. Konstruktiv standard, understands on 3 parts, the covering of a handle became softer. At first sight, it was the same native explorer but that has considerably changed its appearance, it is colour of the device, and there was it, dark that very much it is not bad, it is spoilt now any more as the second explorer or XS, remembered after a season it was necessary ottirat light cases of explorers to give to it an appropriate kind. The coil now, it is similar from Sovereign:) ) By the form. Fonts, as well as promised, in mode VDI have increased, but for what it is not clear, and so all has been perfectly read. Technology FBS remained former, old kind 28 frequencies. On it external differences SE from the colleagues come to an end. Now to the main thing, I wish to express the opinion on depth

The following information is intended for users metallodetektorov Explorer, and as for those who is a little familiar with similar type of batteries NiMH (nickel-metalgidridnye, Nickel Metal Hydride batteries).
NiMh technology, the following step of development after NiCad technology (nickel-kadmievoj) with which the majority of us is familiar. Unlike NiCad batteries, NiMH batteries suppose additional charge at any time needlessly completely to discharge the battery.
So, as soon as you have received new, NiMH the battery, to you it is necessary to charge completely before the first use it. We recommend to place the battery before the first use under pressure not less, than at 12-16 o'clock. In an ideal - 20 hours. It is not necessary to worry that excessively long finding of the battery connected to working zarjadnomu to the device, will do any harm. The device has the built in protection and changes pressure according to degree of a charg
