My first detector was a $50 amazon cheapy and it worked great. It found a lot of stuff. It just did not tell me how deep anything was or anything like that. But a less expensive detector to see if you are going to actually go out and use it can be a great idea.
@MontereyMagnetMan2 ай бұрын
I remember watching your videos with it. I think $50 would be a more fair price for this one. But hey, if it beeps you’ll find stuff🤷♂️ I think if I was going to spend $150 I’d get the Nokta Find X. I might get one now just to compare, then give both away.

A nice changeup from the usual! The horrifically slow latency (delay between target & beep) is infuriating. The faster the swing, the worse the effect. Add the immediate (& permanent?) meltdown after touching ocean water makes this Panky an expensive toy, not a good intro machine for potentially serious hobbyists. I'm astounded that it has 4.3 AMZ stars with 4.5k ratings. 😮 The best thing in the box was the shovel. 🤪

I’d like to do more review videos to mix it up. I know some people absolutely hate those videos, but I enjoy doing them. Yea that slow recovery is wild, and the fact that they wanted me to highlight that is hilarious. I tried turning it on the next day and it still falses, not as bad, but I think it’s toast. I’m sure most of those reviews are bots or paid to say something nice 😅 the shovel is nice though, it’ll go in my camping stuff. 😆

That was painful. As a teenager in 1974 (yes, I am that old) I bought a "Jetco Mustang" detector that had one knob. The knob turned it on and adjusted volume; period. I think it was slightly superior to this machine. I found an Indian Head penny once and my brother borrowed it and found an 1853 Large Cent. However, he found the coin after sitting down on a sandbar in a creek and it poked him in the ass. The detector had nothing to do with it other than he went there to metal detect and it poked him in the butt for his efforts.

The recovery speed reminds me of the detectors of 1970's. A kid might even be discouraged if you gave them one of these. The accessories don't make it any better, though kids are into that kind of thing now days. I would say, if you don't want your kids interested in metal detecting, get them this machine, might be a selling point, who knows. lol Only a kid that have a drive for it would benefit from trying this machine. The falseing would have turned me away as a kid but, I was a kid in the 70's. Get them a quality lower-level detector if you want to give them a chance at learning a love for doing it. (just my opinion but, those are like a**holes, everyone has one)

I would recommend the Nokta Find X or Find X Pro. Both are a similar price as this one and are made by an actual detector company. Or you can do Minelab Vanquish 340, I believe those are still under $200. I haven’t tried that park yet, I’ll add it to my list of spots 🤙

Daniel can you explain what you mean by recovery ? I know nothing about detectors . I think you were too kind on your review . It seems to me it was 💩 . I wouldn't buy it honestly .💙🩵🥰
@MontereyMagnetMan2 ай бұрын
Recovery speed is the speed in which the targets are recognized by the detector. For example if you have a few coins placed a close together you should be able to hear each coin if you have a high or even moderate recovery speed. But with a low recovery speed it kinda turns the grouping of targets into one big sound. Low recovery speed is good if you want to go deep in areas with few targets, like the beach. High is good for areas with a lot trash and shallow targets like a park or schoolyard.
