    The Bounty Hunter Gold metal detector was introduced in 2012 and is still in production. It is a 7.8 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting. Despite the name this detector would not be a good choice for gold prospecting due to the low 7.8 kHz operating frequency and preset ground balance.

    I have been doing reviews of various gold prospecting metal detectors for years. I also have maintained a Guide to Gold Nugget Detectors that summarizes and links back to the detailed reviews. That's fine, but this website has branched out into all things detecting, and my reviews are limited to one niche of the metal detecting world. I also find I have an ongoing need to link to metal detector specs, and having a complete database of detectors past and present can help me as we go along. The main thing however is I am hoping to get a good user review database going. Long story short I am working on a new Metal Detector Database With User Reviews. I have created a simple framework, and am putting basic specification information in for current metal detector models. The detectors are listed alphabetically by manufacturer and model. There are basic specs highlighted - internet price, frequency, weight, waterproof or not, and whether the detector is a current model. You can use the "Sort By" function to sort the entire list by any of these criteria. The heart of it all however is the ability of each forum member to leave a "Five Star Review". You rate the detector overall - one star is poor, five stars superb. You can do a written review, hopefully one that simply says what you like most about the detector, and what you like least. I prefer this be kept clean and useful for others. This may or may not turn into anything as it really depends on all of us. The more reviews that get left, the more useful it will be for everyone. I am plugging basic specs in but as I get caught up I will go back and try and make each entry a compact listing of information about each model, possibly listing common accessories with part numbers. I already am linking to manuals etc. That way when somebody posts in the future about a detector, links can be made to the appropriate database entry so people can get more details. You can figure I will be doing a lot of that cross linking so it's not something people need to do unless they want to. Finally, when that all gets caught up, I will start working backwards and add discontinued models. I will stick with more popular stuff at first, getting more obscure over time. In a few years this could be a really great resource. I will be building the database regardless. Many of the entries are just placeholders at the moment, but if anyone wants to please feel free to place some reviews. It might help me tweak the system, and I am open to suggestions. As always there is only so much I can get on screen at one time, so the specs I highlight and such are limited more by screen space than anything. Check it out at Metal Detector Database With User Reviews. I will rejigger the menu structure in the future to make this easier to find but right now it's a little off the beaten path.

    It should be obvious that the new Nokta / Makro Kruzer and Anfibio models would end up replacing the older Nokta FORS series. The Anfibio 19 is a direct replacement for the 19 khz FORS Relic. It all started for me back in 2014 with the new to me 15 kHz Nokta FORS Gold. I knew immediately this company was going places and they have not disappointed in the four years since. Pretty amazing really how quickly this company has advanced compared to the competition. The 15 kHz Nokta FORS CoRe was out at the same time as the FORS Gold and is almost the same detector. The FORS Gold was replaced by the 19 kHz Nokta FORS Gold+ The 19 kHz FORS Relic was an offshoot of the Gold+ Anyway, none of this should be a surprise since we knew the FORS models were fading away, but I was just looking at the new official combined Nokta / Makro website and the FORS models are no longer listed as current models. They have been moved to the new Nokta / Makro Discontinued Products Page.

    The White's Coinmaster metal detector was introduced in 2009 and was still in production when White’s closed up shop in 2020. The Coinmaster is an 8 khz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting. "The rugged Coinmaster offers solid performance with features that help you discover coins and jewelry. Target ID shows you the identification of targets as you hunt, so you can see and hear the target, and depth reading helps you know how deep to dig. This metal detector’s Five-Range Discrimination adjusts so you can hear everything or only the signal types you choose. But it’s simple to operate so you can spend more time focused on finding treasure and less time on learning how to operate the detector. For a beginning detectorist it’s a great first step into the hobby. At only 2.5 pounds, the Coinmaster is comfortable to use all day with its included pair of 9-volt batteries, and the waterproof 9” Spider Coil is ready for beach exploration."

    The White's M6 metal detector was introduced in 2005 and was still in production when White’s closed up shop in 2020. The M6 is a 14 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at coin, jewelry, and relic detecting. "All the power of the legendary MXT in a simplified design. With 3 controls at your fingertips, you can instantly change gain, discrimination, and ground tracking. The M6’s slim profile and light weight make it an accessible detector for travelers and beginners. It’s also a go-to unit for police departments and private investigators due to its ease of use and stowability. The seven tones and LCD screen give users an idea of what kind of target the coil is over, and a trigger-pull pinpoint switch lets you zero in on exactly where to dig. Lightning-fast Auto-Trac adjusts to ground conditions on the fly, but locked and beach modes are available for more challenging conditions. Dialing in discrimination settings is a simple turn of a knob. One of the best things about this machine is its compatibility with the current Eclipse line of search coils."

    The Tesoro Sand Shark metal detector was introduced in 1999 and ceased production in 2018. The Sand Shark is a fully submersible pulse induction (PI) metal detector aimed primarily at beach and underwater detecting. The Sand Shark is submersible to 200 feet and therefore suitable for SCUBA diving. Note however that the coil and headphones are hardwired for extra waterproof integrity and are not interchangeable. There is a choice of 8" or 10.5" search coils at the time of purchase. "The Sand Shark is the perfect beach companion. The combination of moving salt water and mineralized soil can wreak havoc with the standard metal detector. The Sand Shark utilizes Pulse Induction technology to eliminate this issue and allows the detectorist to hunt in areas that frustrate others. This unit provides control over the pulse width to balance battery life and depth. The Sand Shark also includes a tone adjustment, allowing the user to choose either a variable pitch or a single tone. The Sand Shark’s headphones and coils are hardwired to the detector to protect it from leaks, allowing it to dive up to 200 feet. Available with an 8” or 10.5” search coil."
