5 best metal detectors AKA

AKA has been developing and manufacturing search equipment since 1993 and, it should be noted, it has been very successful. Today, its assets include more than 60 patents, and the products create serious competition to global brands such as French XP Deus or Australian Minelab. Even in the United States, the country that is the forerunner of metal detection technology, Russian devices are attracting close attention, as evidenced by numerous video reviews by American bloggers. The most popular AKA metal detectors are used by individuals who are amateur and professionally engaged in archeology, mining, finding treasure and lost things. Our rating contains the top five of the most interesting models from different lines with mostly positive reviews and the best, in our opinion, tactical and technical characteristics.

Top 5 best metal detectors company AKA

5 Pilgrim 47

Low-cost metal detectors, optimal for beginners, usually belong to single-frequency, and their effectiveness is highly dependent on the purity of the soil. Multi-frequency devices are able to find objects, regardless of the composition of the soil, but with a budget of up to 20 thousand rubles. they are very difficult to purchase. A pleasant exception is the AKA Pilgrim 47 model, which uses several frequencies in the range from 2 to 25 kHz with the ability to install any search sensor manufactured by AKA (the basic kit comes with a 6X10 "7 kHz DD coil).

The metal detector is equipped with a battery pack and is available in two versions: with 4 and 6 AA batteries. The difference between them lies in the depth of the search. The design is characterized by good balancing, simplicity and reliability, includes a direct telescopic bar and an ergonomic steel armrest. The display is not provided, the notification about the find is carried out by a polyphonic sound indicator. The device is controlled by 4 regulators, there is a button for ground balance and a battery discharge signal.

4 Condor 3M

Another entry-level metal detector with AKA proprietary technologies, but with a rather modest, judging by the reviews, target detection depth is up to 1.7 m. However, with it you can easily find a soldier’s helmet, Catherine II penny under 70 cm of earth ( 30 cm) or silver scales (14 cm). So that the seeker does not make a mistake and does not spend forces on each nail, the model is equipped with a discriminator and a hodograph, and for smooth adaptation to the features of the soil there is automatic balancing.

In addition, a harmonic spatial filtering algorithm (SFT) has been introduced into the device, which allows reducing the effect of soil mineralization to a minimum and thereby increasing the accuracy of identifying objects. At will, you can customize the sound indication, the screen backlight level, the volume of the sound of various objects. The power supply is from 4 AA elements, and the maximum operating time of the metal detector reaches 45 hours (at medium settings). If more settings and a greater depth of detection are required, the reviewers are advised to pay attention to the older model of the ruler, the Condor-7252M.

3 Golden Eagle 5

The Condor series was replaced by the Berkut line, and the 5th model is considered to be a semi-professional tool for finding hidden and lost values. Its functionality provides for performing any tasks, but, despite the flexibility of settings, the metal detector is quite capable to be mastered even by an inexperienced user. To do this, simply turn on the device by pressing the button on the back of the control unit and select one of four search programs installed at the factory and allowing for individual modification.

The device is multi-frequency, and the search coil, including 3-frequency, you can replace yourself. Another interesting feature of it is a large informative display made in Germany. It clearly shows the VDI scale and the hodograph lines informing about the nature of the find. Thus, all the advantages of the hodograph are available to the owners to the full, and the appearance - one of the stumbling blocks in the reviews on the AKA - with this screen has become much better.

2 Sorex PRO

The most popular model in the professional Sorex series has incorporated the best software and hardware solutions from previous versions and implemented a number of improvements. Firstly, the PRO-version is multi-frequency, which allows the use of all converters from the range of AKA, regardless of their size and frequency. Like the "brothers", Sorex-PRO is endowed with a unique system of visual identification of search results.

Secondly, this detector is capable of processing the signal from the coil, according to 3 algorithms:

• MSF - medium speed, designed to work on sparsely-littered areas;
• SSF - allows you to better distinguish trash, but it is used in an area where there is practically no garbage;
• FSF - is characterized by a high processing speed of a signal from a closely located target, intended for the detection of highly littered zones.

The ability to complete the device with different sized coils and different types of rods, switching algorithms, lightness (only 0.7 kg without a sensor) make the device one of the most versatile and most discussed in reviews of metal detectors.

1 Signum MFD 7272M PRO

In modern realities, in principle, any metal detector can find a metal element, but to find it at a decent depth and tell whether it is worth conducting excavations because of it - only Signum Pro. This is a highly sensitive, selective, computerized device with an additional deep search program MFD. The model appeared last year, but already managed to win a worthy place in the arsenal of many search teams thanks to a variety of software and technological changes for the better.

Thus, the metal detector detects large objects at a record distance of 2.5 m, but at the same time ignores small surface targets. For clarity, the 5-kopek coin of the times of the USSR, it detects and identifies at almost half a meter distance (60 cm) from ground level. Another feature is the combination of the hodograph and the S-algorithm, due to which the number of false signals has significantly decreased and the probability of correct classification of the signal has increased.
