Product Information

While a larger percentage of metal detectors require the use of a battery source, there are some that do not. Whatever the case may be, reading the manual would be important in guiding your buying of a battery for your metal detector FAQs How does a metal detector work?

If you want to get started in metal detecting and want a good quality machine at a budget price, the MTXE is worth considering.When I started out, (and I’m cringing writing this!) I started out purchasing a cheap metal detector which I immediately regretted.

For a different type of metal detector, this Sakobs Metal Detector Pinpointer offers a way to detect metals in the ground without using a large, upright unit. It can be used on different terrain, and doesn’t require the ground to be totally dry – the 17 cm coil is waterproof and can be used in shallow water like rivers and the sea shore.

Having said this, it’s worth bearing in mind that the metal detector is splash proof but not waterproof, so the coil shouldn’t be submerged. With a standard mode for beginners, and a pro mode for when you become more experienced, you can head out as soon as you’ve inserted the batteries yet continue to improve your experience as you learn. It can take a little while to get used to the different sounds and what they mean, but many users find that after 10 – 50 hours they’ve got a much better understanding of how to get the most out of this metal detector. There’s a handy depth indicator that displays how far down you need to dig once a target is identified too, which is a great addition that means less digging and happier landowners. However, it can be a bit hit and miss.

The inclusion of these accessories makes it a good all-inclusive buy, with the compass and excavation tools providing a good sense of adventure. Although it’s not the most powerful or effective metal detector featured here, it works well enough to get children interested. Metals can be sensed up to a depth of 10 – 15 cm. Additionally, it is a lightweight metal detector with an ergonomic design, which means you will have fantastic comfort while metal detecting! Frequency of a detector is established by the amount of times this current switches. The other

There’s also no battery life indicator so you’ll need to take a spare set, and the control box is not waterproof – however the search coil is. It’s fine to use in shallow freshwater but care is needed to keep the control box safe. There are many ways that it differs from a standard metal detector, and it has less functions overall. For example, there’s no way to eliminate certain metals from the search (therefore, it will likely detect a lot of non-valuable iron, bottlecaps etc.). As you can see, the MT6-PRO does well here, only slightly behind the Nokta and ahead of the Quest. Even more impressive is that the MT6-PRO results did not vary when detecting targets in the ground.
