Amazing - Lots of opinions on yet ANOTHER offering from Nokta-Makro.
I don't know about you but I am stoked that Nokta-Makro have a comprehensive array of accessories.
Something foreign to what we have been accustomed to from the US manufacturers.
It may NOT be the best beach scoop in the world but it compliments their product line as do
their other accessories.
Well done Nokta-Makro

I don't think comparing First Texas with Nokta-Makro has any relevance as I have no doubt Quall will not affect the release of new metal detectors, like it obviously has with FT -

I think the future of metal detector manufacturers comes down to two things -
Companies that DO listen to THEIR customers &
implement their notable ideas into their designs
&
those that pretend to listen, yet release their products with a 'take it or leave it' ideology
Do you think Garrett will utilize Whites production line (XVenture) in China?

Very interesting - I think their gold unit should be called 'Impulse AU Unlimited' - lol
Do you think by having such a slow & limited roll out might just give their competition time to bring their own DEEP PI to market?
We have seen how a fantastic newish manufacturer can manage to release earth-shattering products in quick succession, so having this type of unusual release co

Why is the target not covered by the sand?
A PVC pipe in the sand with the target not being covered in the highly mineralized sand will not be as accurate as a covered target, would it?
THIS IS NOT an attack on the product - just asking if there would be a difference if the target was actually buried.

whats your point?
A company that keeps up with new tech releasing product regularly & at affordable prices. One that listens to their customers and implements changes.
Yep, how dare they -

I love the look of the Apex ..... however
US companies are still not learning from their consumers - It is an ego problem with US not to listen to people outside their design engineers?
It does not really instill confidence in the manufacturer if their ears don't work or they are not prepared to put some actual thought into the 'entire' product based off their R & D as we

Fact is that if it is targeted for entry/mid market it WILL have to supersede both the Minelab Vanquish / Nokta-Makro Simplex's offerings otherwise they are urinating into the wind -
I doubt very much that they can without charging an arm and a leg for the pleasure of owning one -

"Secondly, your question seems to be is “lying your way into wars” acceptable."
You are assuming again when the question is right there - I am comparing the harm caused by falsely lying ones way into invading other countries as opposed to what you provided as an example i.e. person shouting FIRE in a crowded theater -
Correctly that person should be prosecuted for possibly causing

I simply asked for your opinion on what I presented in comparison to what you presented -
"FREE SPEECH - how about lying your way into wars?

how long did it take to waterproof a GPP? = 6+ years
how long did it take a you-tuber? = 6+ weeks
cant rush out a new product that will make your
storeroom null & void can we?
it is ideologies like this that has stifled US manufacturing - too busy trying to milk every cent out of every product, even if it means holding back on advancements because it will effect your current stock -

Nokta has NOT learned a thing from Garrett - there has been no need to - From where I sit Nokta-Makro have dominated all the big US companies when it comes to marketing
You call members here "sell outs" yet you dont seem to mind US companies running off to China to get the stuff you love so much, manufactured
As far as I am concerned you are no loss to anyone by unsubscribing from

I still think the T2 is a fantastic metal detector - Easy to use - very well balanced and feels great in the hand - Love the tones & it's deep - thank you for sharing

So is there NOT one US manufacturer who wants to compete with Minelab / Nokta-Makro these days?
How sad is that?
I do not believe it is down to a lack of resources as someone has previously stated in another thread -
I think it is simply the result of shareholders dictating to the CEO's on who, what, when and how their products are produced to ensure maximum profits -
