Discontinued models are highlighted, and when discontinued the price shown is the last known sale price new.

The heart of the whole thing is intended to be the User Reviews. If enough people take the time to write up their basic thoughts about each model, pro and con, it can help others in the future. Please try and keep it on the level - critical commentary is good but trashing things just to trash them is not. Please note each forum member may leave one review only - this is not a discussion forum.

Anyway, this is an experiment that will only prove its worth over time if everyone contributes. Thank you in advance for any review you post!

21st century metal detecting - fully submersible with wireless headphones

"CF77 metal detector lets you easily detect gold, single coins, jewelry, relics and other tiny objects in areas that you could not hunt before. The detector does this by providing a stable and deep search in the most difficult ground conditions. The CF77 features three modes of operation. GENERAL is a non-discrimination mode that provides maximum depth. MODE 1 and MODE 2 are a discrimination mode that provides smooth and stable operation while filtering out unwanted targets. These modes provide exceptional performance in highly mineralized soil conditions. The CF77 metal detector can reach incredible depth while still providing complete target identification and clear discrimination between metals. The unique design can prevent you from unnecessary digging by helping you discriminate between non-ferrous, gold and ferrous metals with 3 different audio tones. The CF77 metal detector provides you with the ability to hunt all day and then some. Now you can hunt without worrying about running low on power. Powered by just 8 AA Alkaline batteries, the CF77 metal detector can easily run for 30 hours." Source: Nokta/Makro website

"DEUS marks a technological breakthrough and is a real innovation in metal detector design. Its patented architecture is based on three elements: A Coil, a Remote Control and a set of Audio Headphones, which are unique in that they communicate with each other via a digital radio link. The search coil contains the essential components for processing the signals, which no longer need to be conveyed via a wire link but are digitised and analysed directly at source by an ultra-miniature digital circuit, which greatly improves the quality of signal acquisition. This circuit, which is integrated in the detection head, processes the information and sends it to the headphones and remote control in real time via a radio link." Source: XP Deus Brochure

XP Deus - Steve's Review

XP Metal Detector Forum

"A metal detector with the capabilities demanded by advanced users, but provided with preloaded settings which make it ideal for beginners also. The Alter 71 detector can not only be used as a static detector for very deep low frequency work, but just as effectively as a rapid, dynamic detector for locating small non-ferrous objects using high frequencies. The flexibility of the detector is enhanced further by the option of dual mode, using the benefits of motion and non-motion mode simultaneously." Source: Rutus website
