Resizing was a main issue they were working on. With the new format and software took care of it.

Many websites do not appear the same on all web browsers or devices. The smaller the device, the less web info is displayed.
Three main groups
Desktop PC
High end mobile devices
Tablets

We have tried something similar at our seeded freshwater beach hunt.
Amazing how many brands models detectors and operators could not ID any of the targets.
Surprised myself, I fell into that group using some high end detectors.
Granted there is some black magnetic sand mixed in the beach sand.

Here's what I found out
No, it's not an authorized dealer. This is a mirror of RU shop (aka2000.ru) that mimics original AKA site (aka.2000.ru). This shop is known as "fake AKA".

Glad to see some one digging these treasures vs. leaving them in the ground to rot away or destroyed by some construction of a sub-division, hi-rise etc. in the future.

My friend in Oz is having a great time last night, taking new found love to the movies. No real concerns.
But, the brush fires are a problem.....his sister lives smack in the middle of one.....

Really what's important is the detector will find treasure while out detecting, 100's of buyers of the Simplex are making killer finds overseas.
And the person who buys it is happy with the purchase, has enough features/performance and enjoys using it.
Best of all the price is right.
If the Simplex doesn't fit the bill, the owner can resell it, buy and try something different

Per Monte regarding the Nickel Caper

Here is a reply regarding the Simplex+ and this topic and this is a copy of what I posted Friday morning elsewhere.
Matter of fact, I have watched that video a few times, and a couple of other videos, even just within the last two hours. You know what? I didn't let it bother me. It was one guy doing one test

One day, maybe in our dreams, a manufacturer will make the perfect detector to fill everyone's personal needs.
Until then we have a great selection to choose from.

I like it for its simple set-up and easy operation. For the price its a smart choice.
Just waiting, like many others for a smaller coil to be produced to make it a truly all around use detector.

Be aware this coil kit does not include any material for making the coil windings.
Includes only:
Just a bare shell
Coil Cable wire that goes from your coil to the detector control box
Cable gland fitting with stress relief.
Some micro balloon powder to mix into the potting epoxy (not included) that you fill the shell with. The micro balloons is a lightweight filler, so less epoxy is neede

I do air bench testing just to get an idea what the detector is capable of in the way of modes and settings, before heading out the door with it the first time. And I don't do test gardens.
I do my evaluations in the real world in actual hunting situations to see what a detector can really do. Which also confirms much that is posted about depth of any given model is hyped....in regards to

The Vista X likes small ladies gold rings, likes small gold in general. With the 5.7" coil could be used for prospecting small gold nuggets, so a small gold ring is an easy find.

Mike you can't go wrong with them, some really good prices on some used ones.
My favorite coils for it were the 7" concentric and 5x9DD and Monte liked the 5" round DD if I recall.

Depends upon what your selling and what's currently available at a similar price or a bit higher that equals or exceeds the performance of the one you have for sale.
Right now people are excited about the Simplex, so they probably won't be interested in anything else. The Vanquish is in their sights as well. And the Nox appear to be hot sellers that also currently demand a lot of int

Many folks don't do Facebook.
Problem is wet grass falsing. My guess probably a shielding issue.
"Some" coils are experiencing this from the first batch run.
Dilek will replace all coils with this issue, contact her.
