Industry news, important finds, rallies, and so much more - free every week!
Hi, and welcome to the latest edition of Metal Detecting News. Thanks for stopping by!
News… well - crops have started coming off! We have a new discount code for Detecnicks 10TCDETECTS, which gets you 10% off most orders over £25 online. There’s also something from Quest, but no, not a new machine ;-)
AND - As announced on the Big Detecting Show last week by Dilek, Nokta are working on a stripped-down, cheaper Accupoint… apparently won’t have Bluetooth but will come with a more wallet-friendly price tag!
A massive thanks to all our amazing sponsors, RUTUS, Treasure Hunting Magazine, Composite Cleaning Pencil, AMDS and The Big Detecting Show for their continued support.
See you in the fields!
Industry News
Quest have… no, not a working MF machine ;-) They have a new website!
(Yes, I’m still bitter about the woeful V80, which they seem to be still selling!)
Nokta Accupoint update, Dilek went on to the Big Detecting Show last week to help them celebrate 300 episodes, not only did she give away a Legend 2, and have her hubby appear naked on the show (I’m not kidding!)… she revealed Nokta are working on a stripped down/cheaper Accupoint - you heard it here first! Well, technically second, but you know what I mean ;-)
This is an AI representation and isn’t what the Accupoint 2 will look like, probably, though I do like the colour!
