Detector Review Website

[Jitsuman]

Does anyone know of a website that reviews detectors and puts them to the test to see the strong and weak points of each detector?

RB,
Here's a site for ya'! Field tests of many, many detectors.

http://metaaldetector-test.pagina.nl/

If you type the url, note the spelling of metal (metaal),
otherwise, just copy and paste.
It's a foreign site but most tests are in Engish.
Regards,
Rob

Thanks Omni

I had been to this site, its a good site, I guess I would like to have a site like Amazon.com that does the reviews with the user as the reviewer or something or where professional (if you will) metal detectorist review the detectors from each company.

Wishful thinking I guess!

Thanks

This One http://www.losttreasure.com/fieldtests/ has alot of Field Tests,

However, You Have to wonder a Little.

HOW many Detectors would the Manufacturers give them IF they gave a Bad Review.

So, just Remember, No Matter Who's Doing The Review.

Take it with a Grain of Salt.

This gives me an idea....

How about we set up the "Metal Detector Reviews - By Owners" forum?

A place to tell others which detector(s) you use and why?

Feel free to post your own reviews!

That would be good and useful to alot of people I think, The thing I notice about the MD hobby is that alot of things aren't standardized...maybe I mean mainstream, what I mean by this is... if you look at alot of other hobbies with alot of following, which I think that MD is... just alot of people are ignorant to the addiction of the hobby and don't know what it is about. but most other mainstream pastimes have at least a couple of magazines dedicated to it, where we have a couple. most of These magazines have standardized reviews where each one is tested and in a certain manner to find stong and weak points. I wish that the magazines that we have would do a standarized test one the different models in different categories.
