Okay…Minelab has done it.  They’ve officially grabbed my attention with the new CTX 3030!  Waterproof, on-board GPS,  rugged and possibly more powerful than the legendary E-Trac?  or at least so it’s been said…  I would love to write up a review on this beast if I can get my hands on one!  I’ve been talking with Minelab Marketing (USA) to see what we can work out.

…bunch of stuff packed with the CTX 3030 !

Seems like every time I try to add new features, I break stuff!  However, the forums are now back and have a couple of additional features.  Go to www.detectorstuff.com/forum

The forums are currently down due to a technical problem…should be back soon!

XP DEUS is the World’s First Wireless Metal Detector. Why is this such a big deal? Read on, fellow metal detectorists!

It is the hottest metal detector in Europe and NOW the XP DEUS is available in North America.

There are SO MANY features that make the XP DEUS Wireless Metal Detector the most exceptional available, it’s difficult to list them in order of importance. Perhaps the most stand-out quality about this detector is its level of SIMPLICITY, while offering futuristic state-of-the-art functionality. Anyone can grab & go with this wireless metal detector and search for any type of treasure. From coins and relics, to gold prospecting and more, all you need is the XP DEUS—it’s the total package!

A distributor is going to send us an in-house review of the Deus and it’s features… very intriguing design.

This looks like the manual tweakers dream machine!  Lots and lots of pots!  One of my most enjoyable analog detectors was the relic-loving Nautilus DMC 2b.  A true depth monster that, when set up correctly, is very hard to beat for pulling brass and lead from extreme depths.

This new Blisstool LTC64X v3 seems to be redefining the notions of what a VLF detector can do. I haven’t played with one yet, so everything is hearsay and speculation at this point…however, the videos are impressive!

Hi Everyone!  When I cranked up Detectorstuff.com a bunch of years ago, my goal was to accumulate  a great source of archived information on metal detecting.  That goal was reached and I also began reviewing metal detectors and accessories for folks to read about.  Things were rolling along nicely…and then…. LIFE happened! (read more below…)
