Got my mojave, it's a great machine for what I'll use it for BUT it got me thinking of something Tesoro could do for us park jewelry hunters. How about a side by side low/high disc knobs that work together, so we could set low disc from iron up to tab range and high disc from tab to silver range. High disc would work in reverse. Give it the high tone also. When I don't have a lot

Don't forget about the Deeptech vista series detectors. Very fast machines with very good depth. I have a vista gold and keep thinking of adding a vista warrior to the arsenal.

Last year while detecting one of my saltwater beaches using 17" coil I got a 12.31 signal at bottom of slope at waters edge in pebble layer. it was a deep 10.6 gram 10k ring. From then on I dig the 12.01-12.35 signals. Fresh zinc pennies read 12.37 on my machine but the corroded zincs can/will read lower.

Called my dealer, said he doesn't carry Nokta anyone know where I can pre order the impact besides kellco?
Keith, I know you must be busy but when you get a chance can you do a vid with the iron grunt/notch on the pull tabs? I can see this being a huge help in pulltab riddled parks where the gold is hiding. Thanks

I'm gonna have to have one for the aluminum trash separating abilities. Atleast that's my excuse for needing another detector. Anyone know the msrp ?

Awesome news! The Nokta/Makro team deserves the credit and should be proud of their accomplishments. I know I'm appreciative that we have a company "Nokta/Makro " that listens to its end users and builds the detection equipment we want/need and has a second to none customer service. Keep up the great work! Can't wait for the Impact and hopefully future waterproof salt beach

Hi Keith, I'd have to say machine feels much better to me than old s rod. I have the nel sharpshooter coil on it now. I only have the nel and the Garrett 5x8 coil sold the 8.5x11 stock coil when it was new as the pro quickly became a favorite for hunting this small but trashy park I hunt. I would think with the stock 8.5x11 it would be a little nose heavy. Thanks

Thanks for all the compliments I appreciate it. It was a fun easy mod that makes the AT pro feel waaay better. I'm thinking of modding my vista gold by putting it on a gm5 telescopic shaft hmmm...
Thanks

Haven't been able to get out detecting much because of weather and work and needed something to do with detecting so I ordered a mars telescopic shaft and nel sharpshooter coil for my AT pro. It's awesome. Machine feels so much better and I can just shorten it when I dive in the lakes. You do have to shorten the mounting studs on housing which is permanent and I also chose to drill o

Thanks for squashing that rumor. Glad to hear a waterproof machine is in the works from Nokta/makro the company that is always there to quickly fix any problems we may have and stand by their product beyond expectations and build useful machines that we need. I look forward to future N/M machines. Thanks

I think we can expect something new from...
Garett "AT Pro 2"?
Nokta "impact"
Makro "maybe a waterproof machine"
Fisher/Teknetics " something interesting since Dave and Carl teamed up"
Minelab " something expensive "
Deeptech " onyx"
Whites " mx sport all figured out and running 100%"
XP "deus v 4.0"

The Original TDI and TDI pro I heard use 25v caps and that they could use 18v safely. Also heard the extra voltage equates to afew more inches of depth and I need all I can get while hunting my beaches since they've done the beach replenishment. Thanks for your concerns I definitely don't want to try this machine.

Thanks for that video Ziggy. Yes They are awesome machines for certain sites. I'm very happy with my vista gold. Can't wait to see what the onyx turns out to be.

I hope whites gets this machine figured out 110% asap. If they get it right I'd love to get one for fresh water lake hunting until then the AT pro/Excal are my lake machines, and I hear there's an AT pro 2 in the works. Come on whites don't let us down. Get the MX sport running 110%. Then build that waterproof TDI pro!
