Are the cheap knock off detectors any good?

[@jonhetherington2654]

Been thrashing mine! So many treasures!!! The Tasmanian Bush has been no probs

@@jonhetherington2654 good to hear fellow treasure hunter

[@sherwindavid8437]

Many thanks mate...Just thinking of going for a Tx 850 👍

[@Hadesdetecting]

It's one of the Chinese machines I've kept for a long time now.good luck happy Hunting

[@jonhetherington2654]

I cannot fault the tx850 for the money. It's been amazing!! I thought it was going to break too but apart from accidentally losing one of the tops for the knobs. Still perfectly functional. Been finding heaps.

[@3XT4SY6]

Today my TX-850 just arived, but without battery so I need to buy one. I though to buy rechargeables batteries but i read in manial book it says only Alkaline battery, as I know they are not rechargeable battery, what do you suggest me?

[@Hadesdetecting]

@@3XT4SY6 I always stick a 'good battery' in and they normally last ages

[@3XT4SY6]

So the juice in battery lasts long with this machine?

[@Hadesdetecting]

@3XT4SY6 tends to,cheap batteries are ok and will work fine but you don't wanna go flat when your out

[@3XT4SY6]

@@Hadesdetecting I’ll always carry a few extra in pocket, thanks btw

[@seamusolunacy]

I've just bought the gx 850. Is it the same as a tx? £54 on aliexpress. Was 174 on amazon

[@yamahamusicians]

Well done Chris! Too many people getting all high and mighty about promoting these cloned machines. Some people simply don't have money to spend on the usual suspects and just want to give it a go and pretending these machines are not out there is not really helpful. I have tested this machine myself and for the price, it works well. Having said that. A used Quest X5 can be picked up for around the same price and that is definitely a better machine.

[@Hadesdetecting]

I know I wasn't the only one who sees the cheapies and disregards them as rubbish but sometimes there is a gem in amongst the tat. Cheers for dropping by, stay tuned for the test hunt

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

The return of the legend! Good to see you back Chris, looking forward to seeing this in action.

[@Hadesdetecting]

Lol not sure about legend but I'll take it. Could be a keeper this one

[@fiveminuteman]

He's back👍Metal detectors must be the most overpriced gadget when you think about it. How can a nox be worth £600-800? Look forward to your future vids.👍

[@Hadesdetecting]

Glad your still subbed, yes agree with you there. I may need to try the garret copy next

[@RzShopee]

It good machine. I use minelab go find 66 and equinox 600 before. I sell them and buy tx850 after trying my friend tx850. It good. Cheap.. just not waterproof and use old technology. But it can detect good thing better than equinox 600.

[@Hadesdetecting]

Nice,I will be using it a bit more soon

[@andrewsymonds5529]

i have the tx850 myself, good machine and yes, the coil is waterproof but the control box (display) is not.

[@steenorthwest5624]

i have a tx 850 a back up machine i have been surprised and pleased with it , it is a good machine cant fault it

[@Hadesdetecting]

The field test video is out Friday, not gonna spoil it but I'll be holding onto it for a while

[@robertison5842]

General recommended settings?

[@StevenSeaton]

Hi,this is my first metal detector,the coil broke while stored,i am desperate to get going but i cant seem to set it up,so i bought a mars goliath 15" replacement as was recommended as it works well with the the tx850 machine,so i was told by a few sellers. Anychance i can get help to set it up from anyone,PLEASE,thanks.

[@Hadesdetecting]

To be honest I don't know about compatibility of coils with that machine.definitly worth googling it I think

[@40teodor]

Excellent machine

[@Hadesdetecting]

@@40teodor it's not bad,check out my latest video with a big coil on it

[@paulaiowdetecting3142]

Hello mate. I have one of these my first detector last year found me gold sovereign first month have had gold wax seal hammys an all sorts its a great machine no difference from the G2 its self in performance. I have a 5in coil 13in nel tornado aswell with the nel picking up half pennys around 14in on the fade off if u want any tips let me know i run in disc mode.

[@Hadesdetecting]

It was interesting to switch between the two modes. Impressed with the results. Filmed the test, just gotta edit it. Cheers for watching, I'll keep you in mind

[@paulaiowdetecting3142]

@@Hadesdetecting yeah it sure is fun. Set disc to 35 or 40 then good to go

[@Hadesdetecting]

@@paulaiowdetecting3142 I take it your nel coils were for the teknetics machine? If so I'll keep my eyes open for oney

[@paulaiowdetecting3142]

@@Hadesdetecting yes the 13in is but paid 120 for coik brand new the 5in round one was off amazon its a gold finder 5in copy of the gold bug coil. It is honestly a great machine for what u paid u get what G2 does at well under half its price

[@Whytherush]

Welcome back 👍

[@Hadesdetecting]

It's been a while, got alot of footage just really didn't fancy editing. So there should be some more videos coming with a different machine to

[@treasurehuntingnewyork5979]

You know I’ve always wondered what happens to the major brand names over seas assets when for instance they move on to newer models or the tooling and manufacturing facilities are deemed “too old” whatever the case I’m sure these people don’t want to lose there jobs or have a perfectly good factory sitting around I mean Garrett and first Texas are only “assembled” in America from global parts and so here we are with a teknetics detector with a Garrett coil lol nothing wrong with that if it works it works that’s all that matters and if you saved some coin Better

[@sodium9920]

I have one of these , been out twice with it found a victorian Naval officers button, second swing found Roman lead coin. Fgging bargain mate

[@Hadesdetecting]

Good machines for the money,just got hold of the legit original....gonna see how the copy compares to the original

[@mickowen3318]

well that was a waste on my time

Lol,waste of your time?look on the bright side I get a bit of ad revenue, thanks for watching
