The Treasuremaster is a VERY underated detector. This little detector does almost everything and will certainly bag you a LOT of goodies. YES, there are better machines out there, but at this price I dont think you could beat it. Easy to use, good recovery speed, lightweight, decent concentric coil and only takes 2x AA batteries. It's a fantastic all rounder. Here's something to think about too with regards to this video.... Stick a DD coil on the trasuremaster and the depth would be almost identical to the Nox. I'm in no way saying that the TM would then be a BETTER detector, but if depth on a budget is what you're after....
Yes, I agree. For the price, a good, sensitive machine. Only problem I had with it was the continual falsing down at the beach (which could be partly fixed by knocking the sensitivity down anyway).
I like this test. And I have no bias on either machines. But the trouble with is test is 2 things... 1, you lower your centering as you measure. 2, you kept the coins in front of the coil. Thats not conclusive in my view. But a good try that deserves a good look I think. Thanks
Just traded my Garrett ace 400 for this one,,not because it did not do its job,,but i was digging far to many great small deep coin signals that were nails and small aluminum,,though i found a lot of great silvers and pennys,,i just could not figure out a way on how not to get fooled without digging it all,,maybe the treasure master will come through with a little less trash digging.
Although in air tests are not really conclusive given the amount of variables in the field, ground conditions, conductivity of targets in relation to the ground, targets not presenting flat on to the detector and it is still quite interesting to see how they perform. Not sure the Equinox is worth twice the price of the Whites TreasureMaster, Also I think I prefer the less chattery Whites ;)
@@joc1862 I think my first detector was a Whites but that was over 30 years ago so have no idea what model but it was blue, has a meter and a single control. Not complex for sure but lots of fun just the same. Have you tested the TreasureMaster on the beach, wet sand etc? I have heard they work well on the beach.
@@yamahamusicians Yes, the early Whites were as you describe. I had one which was the 6000D. It was great. There were other models as well. The TreasureMaster I have works ok, but tends to false a lot on the beach, especially on the wet sand. You have to turn the sensitivity down quite a bit to get it quiet. Not sure whether it has a fault or not. So I don't use it much. Maybe a more experienced TreasureMaster user could comment. Thanks
@@joc1862 Thanks for the info Jo. That always makes me wonder why some detectors have a specific 'Beach Mode' setting yet it often makes little or no difference. Sensitivity always needs to be reduced.
@@joc1862 Hey Jo, There is nothing wrong with your Treasuremaster. My nephew's machine does exactly the same thing depending on which beach it's been used on. It performs absolutely perfect on some beaches running nearly full sensitivity but chatters like mad on others, especially anywhere with black sand. If you do encounter such a beach I'd suggest staying on the dry for best results. good luck!
I want to buy a metal detector but I am confused between three devices and I need advice 1 whites treasuremaster. 2 teknetics delta 4000 3 Bounty Hunter Land Ranger pro ?
