Which Metal Detector is The Best? I Finally Made My Decision! It came down to 4 machines but really only 3. I want to give a shout out to Fort Bedford Metal Detectors for giving me the opportunity to test drive these metal detectors. If you are looking for a new metal detector, coil, or any kind of accessory for your existing machine, I highly recommend giving John from Fort Bedford Metal Detectors a call at 814-215-1732 or visit his website: www.fortbedford... I can't thank them enough for letting me try out these machines. Give him a call!

@fritzfiedler1807 4 года назад

I have a CTX, AT Pro, Excalibur 800, an Etrac, and an Equinox 800, and over the last 35 years I have had Whites and a Bounty hunters as well. I also has issues with the AT Pro with the factory coil, but the issue was resolved with Garrett with only a few head aches. Each detector has its own unique set of parameters which I exploit in various conditions. The AT Pro goes with me on overseas hunts. It just murders the relics in German forests and parks. Etrac is a proven winner on dry unplowed soft loam and sandy fields. The CTX is a killer on open salt water beaches and the well rotted buffalo crap, black soil of the Midwest like Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana. The Excalibur is good in the deeper water in the Caribbean islands. But for mudlarking around drained lakes, small beaches with tons of trash, or shallow river detecting, nothing compares to the Equinox with the six inch coil. You will need to tinker with the internal programs to get the max performance out of it. It doesn't like power lines real well and has a bunch of other quirks as most detectors do, but the light weight, depth, and maneuverability around objects will win you over. My next detector is the XP. Good hunting and happy hunting from Ohio.

@MentalMetal 4 года назад

thanks for the info and good luck with the XP. I've done really well with the Deus but it has it quirks as well but its a fine relic and coin machine. Start with the Deep program and make adjustments from there. For trashy areas Deus Fast is the program to start with. Good luck and thanks again!

@50Quid-d3x Месяц назад

Wow... that's great! The 900 is supposed to be better at finding gold... but I'm just wondering if it really is a better gold detector. Now the Manticore is trying to take the top spot away from both the 8 and 900. I did find a person that has all three in Colorado who spoke highly of his 800 verses his 900 and his new Manticore. So... I though he would have gravitated to the 900 as his prefered detector over the 800, but that is not what he said.

@MentalMetal 2 года назад

Justin Sorry for the late response, I was on vacation. Here is something I wrote up about kids and metal detectors. mentalmetaldetecting.com/metal-detectors-for-kids/ I would personally look at the section "Metal Detectors for Young Adults 16 years and older" if she is tall I would recommend any one of those listed. They are all good machines for the money. I think the Simplex and/or the Vanquish will come close to the price you want to spend. Just depends on today's prices. There are links in that article so you can compare.

@Guero__ 2 года назад

what do you recommend for dirt rock terrain where people have found gold coins 3-4ft deep maybe even deeper

Depending on the ground conditions and size of the target you might get a foot or more but not 2ft, that would be surprising to see that depth.

@richardperkins6132 4 года назад

Not trying to persuade ya. I bought the at Max an I've never found so much new stuff. It's all in what you are looking for. When it comes to civil war relics an silver. I have never found so much since I bought the at Max. An as you know it is water proof an wireless with both the metal detector an the pin pointer. An they work awesome. An I dig alot of good targets from 12-24 inches it definitely goes deep. At first I thought I was just getting mixed signals. So I told myself that I was going to dig the signal until I found something. Low an behold two silver mercs 1941&1944. About 16 inches down. An I thought that it was just going to be some iron or a can /junk. Now I dig everything. It's all in what you like. The main thing is learning the signal/sound. I myself can honestly say I have learned about everything I know about the at Max on how to set it up, an use it. An what to listen for as far as good targets sounds. Such as brass, gold, silver, iron, etc. From the one an only aquachigger. Good luck with your new detector. As always safe an happy hunting.😁👍👍

@MentalMetal 4 года назад

Great comment. Yep I hear what you are saying. I prefer the tones of the AT Pro for me. I've been playing around with the AT Max and I think its a great machine and if you are team Garrett it makes all the sense in the world to stay with them. The AT Max is a solid machine and it will definitely pull up the goods. The more you dig the more you find. Thanks for the info.

Your only flack comes from the fact that you don't stress. That the eq800 should be better and the at max for that matter. But that fact that the simplex is close is sad. Your comparing $800-$1000 machine to a $250 machine .which is sad that it takes that price of a machine to edge out the simplex. If your price range is $800-$1000. That's the ones you should be comparing as far as which is the best for that price range. If your buying one you compare $100 down and $100-$200 up .

@MentalMetal 4 года назад

You have a bunch of extra features that you don't have on the Simplex. I like the Simplex as a replacement for my AT Pro but both machines are still single frequency VLF detectors. The multi-IQ is where the Nox shines. The 600 has 3 freqs where as the 800 you get 4 freqs running at the same time. Its def an advantage that Minelab has been perfecting for years. The 800 comes with a few extra bells and whistles that are nice if you like to play around with different tones, freqs etc. I do, which is a big reason (besides it kills on the beach) i decided to go with it.

So I would have to disagree with you on the Vanquish finding something the Deus won't. There are so many factors that could have been the reason why. Maybe you could share the video. If you really know how to use the Deus it will find things the Vanquish and Equinox won't under certain conditions. No disrespect but don't believe everything you see and be careful of Nokta's multi-freq machine. Give it some time for people to really put it to the test. There is always a lot of hype when something new comes out.

@MentalMetal 3 года назад

So a few things about the video that I'm surprised nobody called it out but it was a cool video none the less so I'm not taking anything away from him or the video. BUT I never saw any setup info on Deus which is SUPER important to know up front. The Deus is very configurable but I would never use any stock programs. I would start out with the Deep program and adjust accordingly. I didn't see any of that. The Deus is a relic machine and in those condition should have ruled the day. The tones I heard sound like he was just using one of the stock programs but its hard to say. Too each his own. The multi-IQ that the Vanquish has (same as the Nox) has it benefits for sure. I'm using the Equinox now more than I am the Deus.

Hello, for a beginner would you suggest the AT max or the simplex? Obviously, the AT max is much more expensive, but I like the machine's layout better than the Simplex. What's your opinion on which one I should buy as a beginner? I currently have the bounty hunter IV, but it sucks and i need an upgrade

I have seen to much drowned Equinoxes to buy one. Its a good performing machine, but made out of crappy low budget material. Hint: Searching on the wet beach goes very well with the X35 coil

@MentalMetal 4 года назад

Thanks for the X35 tip but they (XP) need to do something more than the X35 for the beach. Thats what they said about the HF and it didn't do well either unless you were in Gold Field and digging everything anyway. The X35 may work a little better but it won't come close to the Nox on the beach. Trust me, I've tried everything I could to make the Deus work but I finally threw in the towel. Never wanted the Nox either but gave it a try and couldn't believe what it is find at my Deus permissions... I appreciate the comment my friend. I'll keep the Deus for now but I'm using the Nox more and more everyday.

Good choice, I have the Equinox and the Simplex+ The Simplex plus is a very good match for the Equinox, the only reason the Equinox wins is it has multi frequencies.

@MentalMetal 3 года назад

The Simplex is good for the price point for what you get. Not sure I would pair the 2 together. The Equinox has a lot more going on under the hood and its just a more advanced machine. Remember Minelab has been doing multi-freq for years. They really know what they are doing on that front. I hear rumors of Nokta coming out with a multi-freq machine. That will be interesting when/if they do release it. Thanks for your thoughts.

@ronalddvorak1967 3 года назад

@@MentalMetal As far as depth and target separation they are very close. Sure the Equinox has a lot more bells and whistles and it has an advantage on the gold because of the multi freq. I would like to see you do a comparison test between the two and you would find out if what I stated is true. Thanks for your reply.

Minelab has a disclaimer regarding using after market "anything" that will void your warranty!! Don't take my word for it, read the manual. Now, if you do have a warranty problem they will ask that you send them a photo of your machine. Make sure you put the factory shaft on it before taking the picture!!!
