Velox One maiden voyage.

Got out for a few hours this morning.. First let me say the detector has lightning fast recovery speed. Iron discrimination is very accurate. No wrap around signal with this machine. Most high frequency machines with fast recovery speed lack depth but the Velox has depth to spare. Very easy to set up and operate. No emi experienced today.For the American Relic Hunter a frequency between 15 to 12 kHz would be better. This detector looks like it will be good for gold nuggets. Signals were plentiful but most were small non ferrous trash. I did find three colonial buttons and one small pin. More test to follow .
 
Not made for park or school hunting. Only will discriminate iron.
 
I had looked at the NOKTA stuff but most was on KCO's site and all they had was the big cache machines. I like looking the Europian detectors....they take a different approach to things.

The Rutus Jupiter I had was an excellent machine from Poland...we don't have anything like it from US manufacturers here...Gold Bug is close but not as many adjustments and tones. Although it is made for trash and not depth..about as deep as a GB on silver which is good but not great.

Now I had been looking at some Russian detectors. Mainly becuase for years I had an idea on how I would design a meter using a graph that showed basically a relationship to it's strength, conductivity and phase angle without making it too complex...just something like you would get maybe on a scope.
Well these guys have one kinda like that...well that is enough for me to give it a shot. $600.00 bucks plus 80 shipping what can you say...give it a whirl.

I had to download the manual in Russian and spend the past 2 days translating it using Google Translate. FIrst convert it from PDF to .Doc then translate a 31 page manual and THEN try and correct the translation as best I could using common sense. SOme russian phraes do not translate so you get wierd phrases but in context of the whole paragraph and knowing detectors you can do it.

Finally translated the whole thing and put it in a PDF.

The make a more expensive machine now in ENglish but not going to pay $900.00 right now. I will use the Russian version and just get used to menu in Russian...that should be fun.

The eastern Europenas add alot of menu functions for the price you pay......way more than American makers do and alot that are very useful while leaving the useless ones out.

They get some impressive depth in air tests..which while that means little it is alteast interesting. I did find a couple videos of them using them in the field and the field finds were impressive on some. Took a while to find a video that was not planted targets used for testing.....now I can find it again.

Either way...always up for trying something no one else has. If this mid priced one shows good performance I will get the $850.00 model that has a bit more to it and also comes in an English menu version
