Minelab con

[Goldthumb]

I read this article on the Finders forum that compares various Minelab detectors. You should read the comments.

What was the “con” part about this article written five years ago?

Only one test

As noted they only tested in Low Mineralization. Even a VLF will do well under those conditions. The true test would have been to take the detectors to a higly mineralized area and redo the test. After all that's what they were designed for. Then there may have been more of a difference in mineralized ground. Seems to me that while the test results may be correct the test was biased toward a Vlf rather than a high end PI and written in a way to stir up trouble rather than to show what the GP Extreme was actually capable of under harsher conditions.
