New Pulse Induction Detectors From Nokta

[Luis]

They just published on the Nokta site.  Two new pulse machines are coming, one made of gold and one made of relics

Finally looking like they will get something out. Hopefully by the end of the year.

Progress, but lets not get too optimistic on the timeline. The last time we went through a Nokta naming contest, the Legend showed up 3 years later.  

Contest started September 2018

Name picked September 2020

Detector Announced Summer 2021

Detector Released December 2021

Perhaps they learned not to draw this out as much this time....

[Steve Herschbach]

Finally! First we had Algoforce but now the real battle starts in pulse induction, with Nokta likely to set new price/performance ratios i.e. bang for the buck.

"Join our naming competition and get a chance to win one of our future Pulse Induction machines!

One designed for gold prospecting and another one for relic hunting!

These detectors will redefine affordability and performance for you to break free from the grip of overpriced alternatives!"

ENTER CONTEST Deadline April 30th

Hmmm, interesting!

What do you more knowledgeable folks in the PI realm think the differences between the gold prospecting and relic versions could be?

[Yatahaze323]

I wonder if the relic version could have some sort of decent iron disc.

I don't see why anyone would think prospectors don't need ferrous disc.

A gold PI is typically going to be designed to hit the tiniest bits possible and that can also mean tiny ferrous bits. A relic PI might be more tuned to hit bullet size targets at max depth while being less sensitive to every tiny bit of ferrous trash. In theory though you can do both in one detector so interesting to see why they feel the need for two models.

It could be nothing more than what coil the machine comes with.

We have no idea what the detector really looks like but let's go with the fuzzy profile as being real. Standard configuration with collapsing three piece rod, fairly large underarm battery. Big question - it it submersible? Beach hunters will be disappointed once again if the answer is no.

Fuzzy profile looks like a CTX or 6000.:)

Knowing how Minelab will typically react, I say we call it...wait for it...

No other detector can do it justice!
