• Pushing the limits of detector technology

  Metal detectors have come a long way since they were first used for mine, mineral and treasure detection early last century, early mine detectors that were being used in WWII would of been hard pushed to detect something the size of a ten cent piece but mines back then were the size of dinner plates and full metal construction.

• The most effective EMI filter

  We have developed a completely new add on filter that stops most EMI (electrical interference) that makes the metal detector unstable and lose performance.

• The trouble with coils

  The most obvious sign of a bad coil is if you get a signal from wet grass or green vegetation, this indicates a break down of the shielding inside the coil, but it can also indicate that the lead to the detector coil has some broken strands in the outer shielding.

• The importance of headphones

  How many of us just take our headphones and boosters for granted? We usually just accept what comes with our detectors and think that the supplied accessories are perfect for the job, or are they? I have seen many products over the years and most manufactures try and buy the accessory detector components for the cheapest bulk prices and this is what is supplied with each detector.

• GPX 5000 Ultimate Settings

  A report from a very experienced prospector from Northern Queensland sounds very promising to detect good sized nuggety gold at depth and also gives a good signal on difficult to detect specimen gold.
