Metal Detecting: Nokta Makro Gold Kruzer Review

[@norfolkbushmanandfriends7916]

I use one of these in the UK for relic hunting, easily out performs the likes of Equinox 800 & the XP Deus. Excellent machine & sooooo deep

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Great to hear!

[@riccardomarinoni6733]

For relic hunting what setting do you use?

[@dukeparadice]

Probably the best video ive ever watched about a machine, looking for a new machine for when people lose earnings, chains and rings. I run a at max in the fields. But will be purchasing this machine today for my other activities

[@danielkennedy3073]

This machine has found me gold I can't even weigh! I love it for totlots.

[@thehuntergt]

Thank you for the kind words. It is a very good detector for finding tiny gold, and non-ferrous in ferrous. In my opinion it is one of the best ever in iron infested sites.

[@Rosario360PNW]

Thank you for the run thru of the settings Just purchased Gold Kruzer and watching for it in the mail. Now I will have a better understanding how to set it up..subscribed and liked the video. Cheers 🍻

[@thehuntergt]

Glad to help! Thanks for the sub!

[@802OutdoorAdventures]

Great video thanks for sharing. You don't see a lot coverage on that machine. I thought the nail was pretty impressive. I would have to say that Nokta is making their presence known in the metal detecting world.

[@thehuntergt]

Yeah these high freq gold detectors don't get much coverage. I was surprised NoktaMakro was marketing it as a jewelry detector too, but it definitely does the job on those rings. Earrings will be no trouble for it. Really enjoy it and looking forward to using it more. Thanks for watching!

[@harleyv1969]

Just got one today and your video gets me out the door quicker because I am in a hurry going to a wedding and need this to keep me busy in the off time.. Luckily I am not part of the wedding so I will be having to use it in the park hunting for jewelry and such. Prospecting for gold will have to wait another week or more but it will be my main purpose for buying it. Thank you for the video great job man!

[@garynickels1359]

Great video if this works well in salt water beaches I don't understand why this is not a top rated detector especially in this price range just starting to hear about it now

hi John. I ended up watching this excellent review because my son Stephen has just bought one. He lives in Wales U.K. and it is known for very pure Welsh Gold which is used to make Royal wedding rings. I suggested he watches your review. By coincidence, you published this video on my birthday! Good honest review as always. 👍

[@thehuntergt]

Great machine in my eyes. My first choice when I get the chance to hit the goldfields here in California. I also use their AU Gold Finder but they no longer sell it. Shame as I like the knobs and dials look of it. Thanks Andrew. 👍

Hi. Gold Kruzer its good for search at salt water ?

[@wkcinaz]

I’m not sure, but I think a touch screen wouldn’t work if it was wet. I know my phone doesn’t work well when my hands are wet. Nice review. Sucks that you hit it with your digger.

[@thehuntergt]

I must say...I have never tried to use a touch screen underwater...so your point is taken. Appreciate you watching!

[@treasurehuntingnewyork5979]

Hey hunter as far as the lack of definitive target Id on the tiny nugget it was def a nice zip in the tone in most prospecting situations you would want to dig anything anyways unless in heavy micro trash as most prospecting areas would be “off the beaten path” anyways I’m sure the machine will def find even the small gold at an acceptable depth

[@thehuntergt]

Yeah for sure...small targets won't give ID and if prospecting I'd 100% dig that signal. Probably should have mentioned that in the video, but talking, filming, and thinking sometimes don't always work lol.

[@jaredmonez]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing, it a very impressive machine, I just picked one up.

@@thehuntergt thanks you!

[@Grey-ke9gd]

Why is it not good for silver? I thought I just seen you get a hit at 12" do relic machines go deeper?

[@thehuntergt]

It is good for silver - I just would not purchase it for that purpose alone. I would get something with a lower kHz or a multi-freq if silver was my main detecting goal. In bad dirt you are looking at 5-6 inches depth...in medium to mild dirt closer to 7-8-9 inches. Air tests are best case scenario.

[@S13402]

How deep can it get for large pieces of gold (or any metal)? Can it get things beyond 1 meter?

[@hank6887]

No

A gold bar or a frying pan maybe.

Such a sleeper Detector! Will the wireless headphones work as long as you don't submerge and just submerge the detector? Thanks for an excellent review.

The wireless signal will cut off as soon as the faceplate/housing goes under. You would need the wired waterproof headphones for continuous audio with housing underwater. Always a pleasure!

I am thinking about buying a gold detector for gold nuggets. Would you recommend this one or something else?

[@thehuntergt]

Yes for sure. It is a fantastic gold prospecting machine. I also have a review of the new NoktaMakro Gold Finder 2000 which is my latest video. Also have a review of the Minelab Gold Monster 1000. All 3 of them are great and recommended. I am a dealer for both companies if you want to order and are in the US.

[@the_real_economics]

@@thehuntergt The bigger the object in the ground, the deeper it can be buried in the ground for the detector to pick it up, right? I need to see all of those machines before making my mind up.

[@thehuntergt]

@@the_real_economics Correct. Larger items can be detected deeper than small items. All detectors work this way.

[@wangkilalasadventure6971]

how to deep for big iron target

[@Mark-TBH]

I would like to see how well it will do with burying your gold nuggets in the soil at different depths. I was very impressed with the nail board test John. Keep on making these videos. They are very helpful to me especially when you hit briefly on the iSat because I am having trouble understanding what the iSat function really works

[@thehuntergt]

I will probably bury a nugget in the next video with the small coil. My dirt is extremely hot so it will be a decent test for it. It is a high freq machine though....so depth is not the game. Extremely small sizes are. Appreciate you watching and glad that I can be of help. 😊

[@mark7362]

Hey, thank you for the review and also replying in the comments I'm learning a lot. I'm split between this one or a Vanquish 440 for gold nugget hunting and everything else since it says it goes up to 45 khz or so that should be enough for nugget hunting I think

[@thehuntergt]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching. The Vanquish is a decent "all rounder" for the beginner to intermediate range. Beach - relics - coins. I personally would not use it for nugget hunting. In comparison to the Gold Kruzer...there is no comparison. It is a dedicated gold machine and does it very good. Better than the Gold Monster 1000 in my opinion.

[@iugoslavantal1240]

[@DangerousDaveKincaid]

Great video.. want to get my 16yr old daughter a machine, your thoughts how would this compare to the Minelab Gold monster 1000? I have the Gold monster but again for my 16yr old. Mainly hunting for gold... Thanks Dave...

[@thehuntergt]

This is a fair bit more complicated than the GM1000. A teen might get frustrated, or perhaps take right to it, depending on tech skill level. The Gold Finder 2000 is a similar model but more automatic like the GM1000. I have reviewed all 3 here on the channel...tough decision for sure.

[@ТынчтыкЧыныбеков-в4о]

I wanted to look for gold in boost mode, but gold kruzer also reacts to hardware, how to set it up, please answer?

[@EliHaven]

Great video, very informative, so here's the deal, I went out and bought this exact machine with the idea of going after the smaller chains, earning backs etc that my Excalibur & sometimes even my Nox misses, I hunt highly mineralized beaches in the Dominican Republic & figured that a gold machine would do well but I guess that I was mistaken, as soon as the coil touches salt-water it reads “overload " I've tried all of the modes, the discrimination and to be honest, I'm at a loss. Any helpful insight would appreciated?

[@thehuntergt]

Not much can be done. It is running 61khz so getting tons of feedback from the salt. Stick to the towel line or dry stuff is about the only advice. In just about every other scenario I can think of it will do the job better than the Excal or Nox...just not in salt.

[@EliHaven]

@@thehuntergt Danggggg, that sucks, thanks for the quick response though. Do you know any gold machines that would do well in salt water? It's worth asking, right

[@thehuntergt]

@@EliHaven The new Fisher Impulse AQ should be out soon...$1500 to $2000 range and pulse induction. Beyond something like that...not much is going to beat the Nox on the beach for small gold. Maybe one of their GPZ machines which are a few grand as well.

[@cannondalecujo3308]

I give my tune a gold cruiser for sea water mode: GEN: GB - 00; GAIN - 25; isat - 06; thresh - 10. Совершенно отсутствуют помехи в морской воде ( Черное море, Анапа, п. Витязево ). И это я настроил навскидку и нашел 12-14 монет ходячки в воде в основном 10 и 5 руб монеты. Вы можете поэксперементировать с чуйкой, может получится ее повысить ( я не пробовал хватило и такой ). Также есть imask. waiting for feedback

The GK is very formidable for coins and relics too. ive never found any jewelry with mine, but I was very impressed how it seems to pull coins faster than my Simplex and my Tesoro Bandido2 uMax as well. Ill probably sell the Simplex as it doesnt seem to so anything the GK cant do better. I like the Tesoro for its simple power. Sometimes it seems better for relic hunting than the GK. I can just turn it on and go and start finding stuff with no menus or hi-tech considerations.

On my first hunt I found literally a pocketful of coins all together about 4" down where people have held astronomy "parties" in a field at night for the last 30 years at a local park. I was also pulling parts of telescopes and cameras out of the ground as well. The GK totally proved to me that gold is just the icing on top of the cake. It's capable way beyond that.

Excellent review; as always. Great looking, super sensitive, quality machine from NM .. Pity the screen got nicked, but it could've been worse. I'd get it sorted by NM rather than maybe make it worse, if t'were me. Those flexible, clear /tinted, self adhering plastic screen savers for smart phones/pads are very useful as protection (if you don't want to use a full control box cover), once you have found a compatible sized one.
