After the beautiful second half of January, the weather conditions do not spoil. Along with the delivery of the Golden Mask Coin Killer detector for testing, an unfavorable festival was delivered, variable weather. From a huge wind, by rain, in the snow (at this moment falling) ending. There were other random factors that make it difficult to carry out everything as it should, But we managed to go out several times. First cats for fences, actually in the field.
Let's look at Coin Killer comprehensively, from the very beginning. I got three coils in the box with a detector (about which more will be a little later), ładowarkę sieciową i instrukcję. The first grinding appears here, Because the instruction in Polish has two sides. Coin Killer is a detector from the "B" segment of detectors (This is how I define the equipment, which oscillate within the boundaries of the standards set by detectors costing around PLN 1500), which relatively often goes to the hands of less experienced or even new seekers. I am aware, that it is not complicated equipment, Nevertheless, for many people, the lack of full instructions will certainly be a downside (I have already encountered this accusation on the web) and a very unpleasant surprise after purchase.
The detector itself looks solid. Made correctly from elements of good quality. The telescopic boom allows for a very smooth adjustment of the Killer's length, which is an undoubted advantage for tall people or who like to comb the area with very wide movements. Steel armrest, with a fastening Velcro. W zestawie też skórzana wyściółka dla tych bardziej wygodnych.Trochę przeszkadza brak regulacji długości między uchwytem a podłokietnikiem. The battery compartment is very solid - there is no fear of its damage, and if the leather cover is used, even staining. Wtyk ładowarki nie jest niestety zabezpieczony, and the handle is not rubbed. The lack of security is a bit surprising, gdyż umiejscowiony obok nieco wtyk jack doczekał się solidnej, rubber seal.
Going to electronics - it looks very good. Plus za polską wersję językową na panelu przednim oraz niezłej jakości potencjometry – chodzą sztywno. Distinct potentiometers correct, However, in the case of left -handed people, tuning to the ground with one hand will not be too comfortable (However, this is not any disadvantage). On the panel we have a description of the function and logo of the Polish distributor. The can is done well, Nothing creaks. Noteworthy is the unusual loudspeaker location - in a can under the armrest - I have some concerns about the resistance to weather conditions (Walking in rain/snow). During light rainfall, the speaker protects our forearm, So everything should be fine.
I got three or two twelve -inch coils for Coin Killer (Spider and Fighter) and a five -inch sniper. Coil cables not very long, I would say "to the contact". Making the coils impeccable, I only lacked shields for two of them. Plus for the manufacturer for rubber plugs at the plug - a simple and brilliant solution eliminating the problem of pollution of the plug during transport. Solidly poured ears, There should be no trouble with damage to this element.
The battery is a bit controversial for me. This trend in the design pushed the front of the XP Deus ahead and it is increasingly used by other manufacturers. Unfortunately, in the Golden instructions, the mask will not find any information related to the proper use of the equipment yes, so that it would not harm the battery. I went out for several hours of escapades with Coin Killer and the equipment did not cause any problems related to charging, Nevertheless, for weekly trips to the wilderness, this solution is not necessarily the best.
Let's go outside, however. Coin Killer posiada ręczne strojenie do gruntu – potencjometr jest precyzyjny, And the whole procedure takes a moment. The detector had no problems tuning on various soils (From the peat to the sands) and you need to select, that tuning settings were significantly different from each other, So there is no question of a trick used in tuning detectors, which I call "very thickener". The volume adjustment has a large scale - you can start the detector YES, that the whole area will know, that we have something. Although it is equipment dedicated to walking in headphones (Why, About this later), It will not be a problem with the hearing of ghost signals after setting the appropriate volume level (The shallow large signals can then break the head a bit).
Regulated sensitivity to a large extent allows you to adapt it to all needs. The detector does not tend to go crazy near the high voltage line, And in strongly littered areas, it helps to get out of tenderness - at the expense of not such a high loss of range, we gain less nervous behavior of the detector. The discrimination knob, however, plays a more decorative role than practical. It is true that we can turn it at will, But it doesn't have much influence on discriminating iron objects. Na szczęście nie jest to dużym problemem, because the detector has no problems signaling the presence of steel in low tone, and very good separation allows you to successfully explore even quite strongly contaminated with scrap. The hebel switch gives us the opportunity to pass between audio and Iron Audio mode. I highly recommend Iron Audio mode, because despite this, that the detector makes a lot more sounds, This value of this information is sometimes invaluable. Audio mode silences iron sounds and in the case of a steel signal, silencing can gently administer the colored signal.
