Do not pretend to make my own opinion and decide anything,but as far as I red about this case was not a relation to any brand,but just a policy and politics again.Or probably,one more time of misunderstanding between people because of English-Polish-Russian languages.
I am almost 100% sure,this dispute is not connected with Minelab or with AKA,but with a personal position to some views in politi

This is only a test on a very complicated soil and not a discussion about a price or what detector is better or worse.Just detecting in force-majeure conditions.Of course if another test is detecting under water,most of us know a result before starting the test.

To assist Equinox to detect coins with a high tone,the border of a high tone was moved to -2.So,all signals detected by Equinox up to -2 were considered as non-ferrous.It was no need to change settings on Intronik to detect coins as non-ferrous.

It was an idea to compare multi frequency tecknology of the both detectors on highly mineralized soil and to see if the both detectors could catch coins of different sizes on this soil and under Hot Rock of approximately 10 cm.by 10 cm.
So,low tones were signals of the both items for the soil and Hot Rock,but high tones if there were,the signals for coins.
The both detectors were set in multi f

Need sometimes some parts for different detectors.
I have just found,for example,on ,sa called White's Window Decal for some of the White's.I would be interested in them at the moment.
But,they refused to make an international deal to my regret.
Would be greatful to hear where else I can take those simple things or need someone to assist me in shipping to me.
From my side I would

Not at all.If we say about MFT,there are 4 presets for all aims in detecting and that is all.Choose the 1 if your detecting is near the surface.Choose the second if your detecting is among t

Concerning upgrading and I have already explained it before.But will do again.This is not an option officially performed at AKA.One of the local dealers here makes it.I refused to make an upgrade to all of those who asked.I would even add,that not 200,but 300 USD it costs now.But my personal approach is not to suggest this option except for a new detector as far all the guarantees will be on that

Concerning Pilgrims with 4 or 6 AA.
Please,consider it as two models and these are really two models.The first with longer working,but not so deep as the second.

There is a lot of information here and it seems having only negatives to our side.Then,I would remind and repeat,AKA do not pretend to be compared with other brands due to sales,a network of a dealership.They just want the world to be informed what AKA is able to compete.And this is exactly detectors themselves,as models and capabilities they can give.AKA is not a big company,quantities of assemb

Hi Tom,
it looks like we we discussed something before or even probably had a deal!
So,if you are interested in a new Piligrim 47 with 6 AA,let me know.
If you need more information,I am here or through p.m.

Piligrim will work with all of them.Signums and Piligrims are the models of 2 different AKA engineers.So,they would add each other.

These pictures seem to show not quite the same as AKA produce now under Piligrim model name.I suppose,one of prototypes is shown or what other reason to differ?

Using the same coil next day,for example,you will not hear the voice.Someone who for instance,has bought Piligrim with the only coil in the set will probably never hear the voice using the same coil as far without an adaptation switched on,this voice keeps silent.

I believe,this is not a thing to pay attention too much if we say about a serious detector,but you are right and you can hear the voice when make an adoption of the coil and GB after that.What impressed me more in this case was very stable working

I guess very few information is about the newest AKA model.I will copy some information from my another thread and put it here.
It would be useful I suppose to discuss if interesting.
This detector is the latest AKA model.Can have 6 AA or 4 AA batteries.With 6 AA it is more powerful,of course.
All AKA coils at all frequencies work with Piligrim.
The detector is very easy for setting and usin

Someone will win almost twice to trade for that due to different costs.
Secondly someone will win to search more with MFD.
This trade would finish here in Russia for a short period of time if the deal could happen here.
On your place I would simply sell your MFD,then simply buy what you want to try keeping a good amount of funds in a pocket.

Ignoring concerns in the case of rather big non-ferrous targets,10 or more cm.in diameter and at some distance deeper,than nails near surface.So,the main task of DP mode is seeking for treasures with an identification.A coil should be at some distance from the surface,let's say 40-50 cm.This point allows to ignore nails,but allows to see what is under them.
But as I told,changing some setti
