1000 Metal Detectors Reviews

Minelab Safari Metal Detector Review

admin — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 13:59:31 +0000

What do you think? Should a gentle warning about the harmful consequences of backbiting be included in each Minelab Safari metal detector review? Perhaps it should go into any review put out by Kellyco. That company offers free headphones to the buyer of a Minelab Safari. Yet, while the Safari operator conducts his or her search, those headphones could allow others to talk “behind the back” of the same detector operator. Today, cigarette packs are expected to carry on them a warning about the harmful effects of cigarette smoke; why not put a warning against backbiting in a metal detector review?

Are five tools sufficient equipment for the task of digging up a treasure that you have found by using a metal detector? That is a question that might enter the mind of someone who reads one Minelab Safari metal detector review. The review posted on the Kellyco website lists the accessories that come free of charge to the buyer of a Safari.

A five pocket pouch is one of those free accessories. Other free accessories are audio 200 headphones, a large carrying bag with an outside pocket, a state-by-state treasure guide CD, a three pocket coin pouch, a larger “treasure pouch” and a subscription to Lost Treasure Magazine. Of course an experienced treasure seeker knows that no single accessory would motivate a wise consumer to purchase a Minelab Safari.

Instead, a wise consumer might feel persuaded to buy a Safari metal detector, after learning that it can provide him or her with greater flexibility. The Safari has four pre-programmed detection modes and four programmable user modes. The Safari works well under a wide range of field conditions.

The technology upgrades on the Safari allow the operator of that detector to show off its advanced digital filtering, its linear discrimination scale and its large LCE meter screen. Moreover, the operator does not need to feel as if he or she needs to conduct a search within a defined type of environment. The Safari can operate in salt water, on wet sand, in a fresh marsh or on very arid soil. The Safari can also detect treasures that lie buried in ground that emits strong magnetic signals.

What would you want to search for, if you happened to have access to a Minelab Safari detector? Coin collectors use their metal detectors to find valuable coins. News accounts sometimes reveal one potential use for a Minelabe Safari. An occasional news story shares information on discovery of a sunken ship, a ship that is supposed to be laden with wonderful treasures.

Certain uses for a Minelab Safari receive little attention, because they do not represent a legitimate way to go after valuable gold and jewelry. The detector makers do not want to encourage the activities of grave robbers. The detector makers do not want to interest a potential detector owner in the possibility of conducting a nighttime visit to an archaeological dig.

There is also a limit to the number of languages into which publishers have chosen to translate any one Minelab Safari review. That puts a limit on the number of detector buyers. After all, people all over the world enthuse over the prospect of searching for and finding a valuable gold artifact. People all over the world long to take part in a successful treasure hunt.

Minelab Excalibur 1000 Review

admin — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 11:31:16 +0000

With all of the metal detectors on the market it may seem a bit overwhelming to know which machine fits your needs. Let’s take a look at the Minelab Excalibur 1000 to see what this has to offer.

We will look at the specifications of the Excalibur 1000, look into the details of its features and functions, the ease of use and user friendliness, have a good look at the pros and possible cons and give you an honest review so that you will know if the Minelab Excalibur 1000 is the detector is what you are looking for in a possible upgrade or if you are looking for your first detector.

To see what the Minelab Excalibur 1000 delivers and to find out if this detector is the one for you, we are going to give a detailed, brutal Minelab Excalibur 1000 review to let you know exactly what you are getting with this machine. We will look at the specs, discuss the pros and any cons, have a good look at the features and see how this machine performed out in the field, beaches and other areas.

Let’s begin by looking at the specifications of the Minelab Excalibur 1000. The manufacturer, obviously, is Minelab, who are respected and have given us quite a few great machines. The Minelab Excalibur 1000 is designed for beach and water detecting. It is recommended for advanced users, although this should not stop anyone new to the hobby, if you are the type to read over manuals from start to finish and accompanying videos and let’s not forget if you are good with electronics. The weight of this machine is a light 4.51 pounds and we cannot forget that that this weight is going to feel a lot lighter under water.

The Minelab Excalibur 1000 operates on seventeen different frequencies from 1.5kHz to 25.5kHz at one time. Now, the conditions of beaches can be rough on a detector. We are talking about heavy salt conditions, obviously water and sometimes stormy weather that blows up the sand. Salt water beaches need sturdy and powerful detector that will deliver. The Minelab Excalibur 1000 gives an excellent performance in water sweeping. For the devoted salt water hunter, the Minelab Excalibur 1000 delivers as promised, is extremely reliable and just as importantly, is more than sturdy enough for the conditions.

It is said that the Minelab Excalibur 1000 is comparable to the Explorer SE or the GTI 2500, however I find the Excalibur 1000 perform much better in just about every aspect. Some of the best features are that it works incredible in both salt and fresh water. Having seventeen frequencies all at the same time can’t be beat, the discrimination is unbelievable. The way this baby works is that it uses tones to signal metal that is under the coil. And speaking of coil, it’s great that you have your choice of eight or ten inch coils to see which works best for you. It doesn’t matter which one you choose, the price is the same. Personally, I strongly feel that the smaller eight inch will give you smaller gold targets than the larger ten inch. If you are devoted to looking for nuggets, this would be your best option and the only change si that your area covered will be a bit smaller, worth it for most who really want to go after those gold nuggets. I use the ten inch myself, because I like to comb very large areas of beach. My experience with the Minelab Excalibur 1000 is that it has held up incredibly well, has not let me down and I can’t imagine an upgrade from this incredible hunting companion.

C SCOPE CS990XD Metal Detector Review

admin — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 20:25:15 +0000

When you pick up your C SCOPE CS990XD metal detector review, you might want to purchase an old rug as well. Treasure hunters in Iran have found that a detector can operate unseen, as two friends shake a rug above the detector and its operator. When you obtain your review, you might also look for a nearby travel agency. It may become necessary for you to purchase tickets for a nosy neighbor. In that way you could decrease the chances that someone might discover and reveal your treasure hunting adventures. Try to provide tickets to a spot that would appeal to your rather nosy neighbor.

If you plan to go treasure hunting, and if you therefore managed to get your hands on a C SCOPE CS990XD metal detector review, be sure that you use that review to find answers to the most important questions. What are those questions? Below you will find the five questions that should be on the mind of anyone who has thought about using a metal detector.

You might already know the answer to the first question: “What do you want to find?” You might hope to use a metal detector to find a buried treasure. Realize that an item that has been buried deep in the ground can not be found by using an all purpose detector. Read your review carefully. Can a C SCOPE CS990XD pick up signals from a treasure that has been buried deep in the ground?

What are the characteristics of the area where you will be searching? If you are going to search on a beach, then you will need a metal detector that can withstand exposure to salt spray. Are there nosy neighbors in the area where you need to conduct your search? If so, you might want to purchase an extra quiet detector. Otherwise, you will need to provide the nosy neighbor with some sort of distraction.

How frequently do you plan to use your detector? Where do you plan to store your detector? You should ask yourself both of those questions. Your answers will offer clues as to the value of a potential warranty for your planned detector. A good review should indicate whether or not a detector comes with a warranty.

How long would it take for you to learn how to use a given metal detector? Is it possible, for example, to remove a C SCOPE CS990XD from the box and begin immediately to search for a hidden item? Some metal detectors come with an instructional CD. Look in your review for reference to such a CD.

How much money are you willing to spend on a metal detector? Keep in mind the expected returns on your investment. If you can recover a valuable item by using a metal detector, then you should manage to recover all of the money that you spent on that detector.

Now you might have questions that remain unanswered by any detector review. You might want to look for a treasure in a home that does not belong to you. In that case, you might want to visit a DVD store on Westwood Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA. Ask for a DVD of a TV serial. Ask for the DVD that shows all of the scenes from the serial in which a group of Iranian youth looked for a hidden treasure.

A Look at the Minelab Excalibur 800

admin — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 21:13:14 +0000

Metal detecting is something that you can do as a hobby, or you can do it as a passion. Those that take their treasure hunting seriously know that Minelab makes some of the best metal detectors in the world, and when Minelab comes out with an innovation in metal detectors it is something worth looking into. The Minelab Excalibur 800 is part of the Excalibur line of metal detectors, and the features along with the quality engineering offered on the Excalibur series of metal detectors are enough to make anyone serious about their treasure hunting to sit up and take notice.

The Minelab Excalibur 800 has an impressive list of features, but more important than its impressive features is the way that Minelab took the serious treasure hunter in mind when they designed the Excalibur series. Hobbyists and enthusiasts alike will appreciate the quality represented by the solid construction of the Minelab Excalibur 800, and they will also appreciate the engineering that was put into the Minelab Excalibur 800 that allows them to take their metal detecting to areas that they may have never been able to experience before.

One of the first things that you will notice about the Minelab Excalibur 800 is its ability to find valuable items over a broad area and at impressive depths. A single frequency metal detector is a great thing for the hobbyist. They work well and they can do the job just fine. A dual frequency detector can take the hobbyist to the next level and help them to find valuables within a much broader area. The Minelab Excalibur 800 offers 17 full frequencies that take this unit way beyond the standard metal detector area. When you need a metal detector to help you avoid wasting time digging for garbage but at the same time be able to help you find valuables within a wide range, then you need to look at the professional power of the Minelab Excalibur 800.

Have you ever dug in an area based on your detector’s reading and found a nail? The Minelab Excalibur 800 offers an exclusive feature called the iron masking feature. This uses the 17 frequencies that the Minelab Excalibur 800 puts out and finds the valuables that are near the junk you do not want. Iron can usually cause havoc with a metal detector, but the Minelab Excalibur 800 will help you find that valuable gold ring that is sitting right next to that iron nail with no problem. Do not miss out on your chance to find the buried treasure you are looking for, benefit from the Minelab Excalibur 800’s iron mask feature and find all of the treasure an area has to offer.

The exciting part about treasure hunting is to be able to go where not many people can go to find the treasure that has real value to it. The Minelab Excalibur 800 offers you that opportunity because it is able to be used underwater. The Minelab Excalibur 800 can be submerged to depths of up to 200 feet without causing any interference, and it functions just as well in salt water as it does in fresh water. To make the package complete, the Minelab Excalibur 800 also allows its headset to be completely submerged as well. This means that you can take your entire Minelab Excalibur 800 with you on your next deep sea treasure hunt, and never have to worry about damaging your expensive equipment.

Garrett GTP 1350 Metal Detector Review

admin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 09:10:09 +0000

While studying the information on each posted Garrett GTP metal detector review, the author of the following article was most impressed with mention of the fact that the Garrett could operate in relative silence. The author of the following article has been following a TV serial that puts the lead character in charge of a treasure hunt. While he handles the detection equipment, a secondary character acts to divert attention from his friend’s prolonged search effort. He tries to keep a pesky neighbor occupied with numerous small tasks. Both characters could have benefited from access to a Garrett 1350 detector.

The typical reader of a Garrett GTP 1350 metal detector review does not expect to be paying for high end detection equipment. Yet that reader might well be pleasantly surprised. The GTP 1350 detector has several of the features that avid treasure hunters usually associate with high end detection equipment.

What are some of those features? To begin with, the Garrett GTP produces clear and unmistakable audio tones. Those tones can guide the detector operator in the direction of a valuable metal artifact. Meanwhile, the operator can expect the Garrett’s auto ground balancing to prevent the release of any deceptive tones, tones caused by a metal piece of limited value. In addition, the Garrett detector has preset modes and an icon read out.

The operator of a Garrett detector does not need to worry about making up a story about the unusual sounds emanating from wherever he or she has chosen to search for buried coins, or buried treasure. The Garrett does not beep until it has found a piece of metal of recognized value. The Garrett finds coins and jewelry with pinpoint accuracy.

Of course the most accurate of detectors is of little use to the man or woman who can not understand how to operate such quality detection equipment. For that reason, makers of the Garrett detector have produced a machine that is easy to operate. Still, no one plans to use a metal detector 24/7. Bearing that fact in mind, detector retailers have made a coil brace available to interested detector buyers.

While that brace insures the safe storage of any detector coils, such a brace might receive only limited use, if it is used to store the coils of a Garrett GTP 1350. The operator of the new Garrett detector does not tire easily. The handles on that detector come with a rubber grip. Such a grip represents a step up from the traditional foam grip.

Detector retailers also sell a slide in, slide out battery case, a case that can be fixed to the belt that goes with any Garrett detector. Anyone who plans to search for gold accessories should consider investing in this particular accessory. By wearing such a belt, the detector operator can sustain a search effort for an extended amount of time.

The Garrett detector facilitates demonstration by the operator of patience and persistence, two traits that help to guarantee the success of any search effort. The owner of a Garrett could well be called upon to show an added amount of patience and persistence. The owner of a Garrett detector could find that he or she needs to dig down to a depth of eight or more inches. There is no telling what the operator might find at that depth.

Evaluation of a Minelab Excalibur

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 07:58:25 +0000

While the following article jokes about the grammar in one Minelab Excalibur review, the writer of that article appreciates the fact that people all over the world invest time and money in pursuit of metal treasures. The writer of the following article has followed a serial on a Persian TV network, a serial in which the main character sets out on a treasure hunt. While the story in that serial does not recreate a true to life occurrence, still, it is possible that a treasure hunter in Iran was the author of one of the recently posted metal detector reviews. He or she should not be held responsible for the introduction of a new treasure hunting term.

How should one go about evaluating a Minelab Excalibur review? There is at least one review that would make a grammarian cringe. That review ends with this statement: “Only serious detectorist need to buy this machine!!”

What is a decteroist? Why would a dectorist want to purchase a Minelab Excalibur? One has to assume that the review writer has created a new term for any person who has chosen to use a metal detector. The review writer had preceded that grammatically incorrect statement with a promise, a promise to coin collectors who might spend many hours on the beach. The review writer had attested to the reliability of the Excalibur.

Apparently there are a number of Excalibur users who hit the beach on a regular basis. Another review writer has said this about the Minelab detector: “This machine is simply the best for finding corroded or salt disguised treasurers.”

A closer examination of the Excalibur reviews indicates the existence of an Excalibur series. One review writer praises the detector’s automatic ground rejection technology, and claims that this feature “makes the New Excalibur II the ideal machine…”

What is the function of that ground rejection technology? Another review writer appears to provide the answer. That review writer has said that an Excalibur can locate gold coins while bypassing trash, the sort of trash that might cause another detector to release a false signal.

That same review writer has called attention to yet another of the Excalibur’s many features. That is the fact that the owner of an Excalibur can replace an unsatisfactory coil with a more efficient coil. Each Excalibur can be fitted with coils of varying sizes. Thus, the owner of an Excalibur can search for coins in either deep sand or in a shallow pit of dirt.

One Excalibur that has yet to be developed is a machine that would allow a deaf person to become a successful coin collector. The owner of the existing Excalibur relies on the detector’s production of different sound frequencies. It emits a different frequency for each of the metals that a detector is likely to encounter. In other words, a skilled detector user can use his or her ear to know when a detected metal piece is made of gold, and when a detected piece is composed of iron.

Here is the last word on detector reviews: No metal detector review should fail to mention the quality of the detector’s batteries. The Excalibur runs on rechargeable nickel and cadmium batteries. Of course it might be next to impossible to recharge those batteries on the beach, or in any outdoor location. For that reason, many detector retailers have added to their inventory the Excalibur alkaline battery pod.

C SCOPE R1 Metal Detector Review

admin — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:10:36 +0000

Sometimes a prospector or treasure hunter thinks that he or she can save money by foregoing the purchase of a C SCOPE R1 metal detector review. Is there anything wrong with their thinking? A study of the online comments about various detectors suggests the need for revision of such thinking. One prospector and coin collector has posted a complaint about a C SCOPE owner who seemed to question the readings on his machine. That posted comment came from a friend, a friend who knew the value of the coins in his fellow prospector’s collection. A single coin would have covered the cost of a simple review.

The scope of a good C SCOPE R1 metal detector review needs to include more than just answers to basic consumer questions. At the same time, any reputable detector review should not sidestep mention of issues that are on the mind of just about every potential detector owner

A good detector review should motivate the reader to ask this question: “What do I want to find?” If the reader intends to search for gold coins, then that reader might want to consider a C SCOPE model other than the R1 model. That, at least, is the impression one gets after studying some online comments about C SCOPE detectors.

Anyone who has perused a C SCOPE review should understand the importance of this question: “What are the characteristics of the area where you will be searching?” Anyone who plans to search for gold coins or other gold artifacts needs to overcome the obstacles produced by mineralization of the soil. Not every C SCOPE can guarantee to the detector user freedom from worries about soil mineralization.

The following two questions should take on added significance to the reader of a C SCOPE review: “How frequently do you plan to use your detector, and where do you plan to store your detector?” Online comments about the C SCOPE R1 suggest that the owner of such a detector needs to demonstrate patience, when awaiting recovery of the detector’s processor.

If you do not know what a processor is, then you should find a way to increase your familiarity with the prospectors’ and treasure hunters’ vocabulary. If you remain hazy about how to define certain detector terms, then you might find it difficult to interpret the instructions for any metal detector. You do not want to buy a detector, and then spend several months trying to figure out how to operate that same device.

The reader of a C SCOPE review should also keep in mind the alternate name for that machine. There was a period of time when C SCOPE detectors were sold in the U.S. under the name “Newforce.” That fact should remain on the mind of the review reader who seeks answers to this last question: What is the asking price of a C SCOPE RI, and what am I willing to spend on a detector?

If you love the excitement of a treasure hunt, then you do not need to spend a lot of money on a detector. If, however, you are counting on the anticipated value of a hoped for “find,” then you need to invest in a top quality piece of detection equipment. Those two facts should guide the reader, as he or she studies the prices that have been posted in any detector review.

Minelab SD2200v2 Gold Propecting Detector Review

admin — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:12:33 +0000

There are so many metal detectors that you can choose from, whether you are just beginning this exciting hobby or you are a seasoned pro. However, the one thing that you want to be sure about is just what you are getting when you make a decision regarding which detector you are going to use. Some of your decision should be based on the environment in which you wish to sweep. And also, you will want to know about the user friendliness, the feature and the functions of a machine. Let’s take a look at the Minelab SD2200v2 to see what this detector has to offer.

The Minelab SD2200v2 is a detector with some impressive technology that offers you some great features and is designed to help you be successful on your hunts. Let’s take a good look at the Minelab SD2200v2 to see what this machine has to offer and if this may be the detector that you are looking for. We will first take a look at the specifications of this device. The Minelab SD2200v2 comes with Koss headphones, an AC adapter and runs on a six volt battery that on average, will give you between ten and twelve hours of power. It also comes equipped with a control box stand and a removable armrest. The standard warranty for the Minelab SD2200v2 is three years.

The weight of the Minelab SD2200v2 without including the weight of the battery is a bit over five pounds, 5.25 to be exact. This detector offers you transmission multi period sensing ground rejection and automatic ground balance discrimination. There is a tone ID and the standard search coil is eleven inches. There are three adjustable audio sounds for shallow, normal or deep finds and a three position switch search for either fixed or tracking modes. The Minelab SD2200v2 also offers you a two position iron discrimination which is very important to many sweepers.

You will hear tones on a three position audio switch or loudspeaker with your headphones and this can be adjusted to either stereo or mono, which ever you prefer. Many owners of this detector opt for a few of the optional accessories. The optional accessories for the Minelab SD2200v2 include carrying bags, coil covers, coin collecting books, digging tools or kits, display cases, dust covers, gold panning items, jewelry cleaners and shovels, trowels and tumblers.

The Minelab SD2200v2 rejects strong signals that are given off from junk with its discrimination feature, which gives you more time to go after what you are really looking for. The ground balance is controlled automatically which gives you great ground balance and allows you to capitalize on detection depth as much as possible. The tuning controls are very user friendly, done automatically with an easy to use one push button feature that will control the range of electromagnetic intrusion. You may find the boost amplifier to work well, as you can change very light sounds into very clear target signs.

The The Minelab SD2200v2 has some great technology that gives you multi sensing, it diminishes the effects of mineralization and this allows a user to go deeper with a clear, interference free signal. Ground noise is essential eliminated and will basically only give you a tone for a real find such as a nice gold nugget or coin. Other coils are adaptable to the The Minelab SD2200v2, however you will find the 11 inch to work well.

Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II Metal Detector Review

admin — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:28:13 +0000

As metal detector enthusiasts know, searching for hidden valuables is not just limited to walking the beaches or other areas on land. One of the most amazing places to use a metal detector is underwater where countless treasures lay, awaiting discovery. For this reason, let’s take a close look at the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II metal detector to find out the details of this device. We will look at the features, the quality and the overall user friendliness of this metal detector to find out if the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II metal detector meets your needs for detecting underwater.

Underwater metal detecting is very popular for two main reasons. The first is that many manmade lakes were built over old cities and towns; this offers countless possibilities on what could be discovered there from years or centuries ago. The second being that the oceans cover the majority of the earth, but humans have only taken a good look at less than five percent of the waters. The idea that there are unfound treasures in our oceans is not just a dream.

The Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II metal detector is an underwater metal detector that works perfectly in water up to two hundred feet deep. Let’s take a close look at the feature of this device.

There are four handy stem mounts which allow for the overall length to adjust to between 28 and 52 inches. The long stem will come in quite useful when you are carrying the detector on your waist or shoulder and this will be the stem that you will use the most while under water. There is a short stem which is most used when you are detecting on land.

There are controls that allow the user to adjust the threshold, power levels and also to fine tune the device so that it does not pick up on items that you want to skip over such as pull tabs and other useless times that would otherwise cause a signal. It will, however, still alert you to rings and other possible small treasures while in this mode. Do be sure to adjust this as needed, since this device is capable of picking up a tiny ½ of an inch fishing hook. There is an audio jack in which you connect the headphones and the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II metal detector, as you may have guessed, does come with waterproof headphones.

The Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II metal detector is surprisingly small and light. It only weighs six pounds. While this won’t matter to you very much while you are treasure hunting under water, this will make things easy for you any time that you use this device on land. There are a few extra “goodies” that come with this device including straps that will allow you to easily attach the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II metal detector to a diving suit, an instructional video, cleaning wipes and even a Garrett brand baseball hat.

The most important element to know when you are deciding if the Garrett Sea Hunter Mark II metal detector is the detector for you is to know just how deep you will be diving. One must keep in mind that this detector was designed for waters only down to 200 feet deep.

White’s Spectra V3 Metal Detector – Designed to Find Treasures

admin — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:57:51 +0000

The following article talks about the interference that can create problems for the beginning treasure hunter. The interference mentioned in regard to the White’s Spectra V3 metal detector is “metal trash” in the ground. Now, every first time treasure hunter should also be prepared for a second sort of interference. That interference often pertains to the prying eyes of neighbors. That interference could also apply to the watchful eye of the law. The following article does not offer any advice for dealing with such interference…

If you plan to invest in a metal detector that promises to guide you toward a full return on your investment, then you want to learn as much as possible about White’s Spectra V3 metal detector. Once you put on the wireless spectrasound headphones that come with each V3 detector, you will be ready to locate the nearest hidden treasure.

If you have reason to think that the nearest treasure is a collection of gold coins, then you need to set your detector on the hunting frequency for gold. If you have heard about a silver antiquity that was hidden within your search area, then you should set your detector at the hunting frequency for silver. If you are eager to find any sort of treasure, then you can get the best results by selecting the hunting frequency that was designed for general use.

If you have never been seated at the controls of an automobile, you might find it difficult to operate the “dashboard like” controls on White’s V3 detector. If, however, you know how to view and interpret the readings on a dashboard, then you should find it easy to make any necessary adjustments to your Spectra V3 detector. The information needed for each adjustment appears on the display panel in bold colors.

There is one three letter combination that you should learn, a group of letters that does not appear within any printed information about car dashboards. That is the abbreviation “EMI.” The operator of a metal detector needs to appreciate the significance of EMI. It is an external source of interference, and it is generally location specific. If the operator of a Spectra V3 detector encounters EMI, then he or she could find that the detector has demonstrated marked instability. An amateur treasure hunter might cease his or her search, upon witnessing such instability. A more experienced treasure hunter will know to turn the gain down, thus allowing the detector to achieve greater stability. In that way, the search can proceed, and the detector operator has reason to hope for success.

Keep in mind the fact that the White’s Spectra V3 metal detector is not a simple machine. The operator of a simple metal detector can hunt in only a limited range of spots. The operator of a simple detector can not expect to discover a treasure in any search area that contains a source of EMI. The operator of a V3 detector, however, has access to settings that can be adjusted, thus allowing the detector to work around any possible source of interference.

Bear in mind that White’s V3 metal detector has been the target of comments from rather impatient treasure hunters. Apparently, the display on the V3 insists on “hanging” on the screen, even when the operator wants data on a new search area. This “problem” points out how dreams of “instant wealth” tend to drive the typical treasure hunter.
