In response to a certain YouTuber with a issue about DeepTech

Hello all...

Im sure this will be heard and hopefully copied and posted in reply to the certain gentleman concerned.

A certain video and post was brought to my attention by a few now so feel I must answer in a way that don’t offend anyone or a sole company.

First of all it looks like you’re on a crusade Calabash to bring down a company for no apparent reason.

I can find faults with most machines on the market and no manufacturers have made the gains I’ve wanted to see in 2019 considering their countless amounts of cash and resources.

It’s very hard to make gains in detecting especially when funds and resources are limited, but for the biggest players on the market all they’re doing is making small improvements and making the machines looks nicer, personally I don’t wear metal detectors like jewellery so don’t really care what the machine looks like, my main focus is performance of a machine and how user friendly it is.

So when you look at let’s say the biggest three metal detecting companies in the world, countless amounts of cash to throw into detector design and technology but only to come up with machines that hardly if anything performs a little better than their previous models.

I feel you need to think hard why you’re throwing stones at a small family run detector company in Europe ??

I’m not getting the violins out for DeepTech but if you knew the facts and figures that these big companies have compared to us I think it might register with you why and where we are in the market at the moment.

We have a great reputation in analog technology, Plamen Rashkov is highly known in the detecting world for his great work and what’s he’s achieved with analog machines.

We have a loyal customer base and produce simple straight forward machines that can offer just as much performance in some cases as the big hitters out there without all the bells and whistles, in many cases for a lot less cash, just because our technology you may feel is dated but isn’t the case really and that our design is not to your taste is your words justified?

when you look at performance gains with analog and digital detectors where is the huge performance gap ?
Was only a few years back that our Vista Warrior in the hands of a well respected individual was the only machine to hit a settled buried hoard... outdated technology you say ??

Our new Vista X we a proud of, it has many new firsts for us with a dual extended discrimination circuit and new design features, this opens up new opportunities that was never an option for our customers before, so to see what I see as an online bully trying to kick a company that have limited resources is sad really, I don’t know why you feel the need to attack us, not once have we or anyone said that our machines are the best on the market or made claims that it will make all other machines obsolete like other companies have!

If we had the cash and resources of these big companies I can tell you now that we would be producing very futuristic machines as we have ambitions and the knowledge to do so.

But for now we try and give the customer new features and be relevant in a very brutal detecting market full of wolves and restrictions with limited cash.

So you must have something against a small family business that is doing what we can when we can to progress and give people the best we can at this point in time.

Please in the future bare this in mind and take a look at what metal gains have been made by these leading companies with endless amounts of cash compared to a small limited family run detector business has done before you talk bad of us and post videos online.

Has their huge amounts of cash and resources made our machines obsolete? Is their digital performance gains massive over our analog machines... I think not!

So what we talking here mm in separation gains ? centimetres in depth depending on soil minerals ?

I’ve personally been out with detectorist and gone over signals and compared many targets and seen the surprise on their faces when they hear the audio compared to their expensive machines, but when you get companies that have advertising budgets that we could only dream of your words have been answered when you ask where are the folks using DeepTech machines.

Should you be happy that these big companies have made hardly any real decent gains if any in some cases over a small European manufacturer that in their own country the laws and red tape makes detecting illegal and hard to move forward as we would like let alone get certain parts shipped on and exported from Bulgaria.

Please next time think before you jump as on the scale of things the high end companies haven’t moved that far forward than us, they just put lipstick on their machines and have the resources and cash to advertise them in every corner of the globe with many employees to shout about them, but we send out a few test machines and then hear your words is sad really.

Many thanks

You know where's the glee in harming a company's business ? Helping to destroy people's jobs. (Torsoro for example) For any small company to survive you got to be nimble & tough. In the end the market place will decide who survives. Not some hack bent on a hit job.
 
Well said Ziggy!!
Since his favorite company to bash has closed its doors.........
 
.......guy should just run his own business and not waste our valuable time dissing things never even had in his mitts...
 
It is sometimes said that all press is good press.

I don’t know that I believe that to always be the case, but I do believe that it could well be the case with regards to the video in question.

I saw that video; my own take is that the person making the video was in disbelief that anyone would consider a machine that wasn’t one of the two he favors. Well that and a slight leveled against a very well respected individual who happens to be one of the people who tested your newest offering.

We all have our own biases and those biases can be based on anything from what works best for us, to how deeply we swallowed the company’s advertisements. For some reason a number of people tend to reaffirm their purchasing decisions by becoming fan-boys of a sort – ridiculing those choices made (by others) that don’t meet their approval, and cheer-leading all who made the “proper” choice.

Some of that is good-natured ribbing; some of it is not.

The latter can be quite irritating; to the point where it is nothing less than harassment. I’ve found the fan-boy-ism annoying enough to remove the brand that will obsolete all other machines from my consideration – helped along by my previous dissatisfaction with two of their offerings (that also had the accompanying fan boys).

It’s not that I have an issue with someone proclaiming satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) with the machine of their choice – indeed I find such posts to be informative and very useful. But those “your machine sucks” and “my machine is vastly superior” posts/videos do little but cement my determination to avoid the machines pushed.

Silly?

Maybe, but I’m not the only potential customer who was chased away by over zealous claims of superiority – coming from those who haven’t so much as held one of the machines they’re attacking.

It wasn’t very long ago when I had not heard of your company (DeepTech). Since I first heard of your brand I’ve watched DeepTech address customer needs/wants and I’ve witnessed your brand grow in both reputation and market share. I am convinced that your growth has come because you (DeepTech) listen to potential customers and address them as quickly as you possibly can.

I also think you’ve put machines in the right hands – the hands of people I trust to give their honest opinion of the machine (good and bad). I’ve watched Keith’s videos and I’ve read Sven’s posts: I consider both to be completely honest, and the next best thing to having the machine in my own hands. I couldn’t care less if they got the machine (to be tested) for free, or if they paid top dollar for it: I trust their opinions and use those opinions to make my own decisions.

The Vista X has certainly drawn my interest. If money were no object, I’d have ordered one already. There is an excellent chance that I will add a Vista X to my “arsenal” of machines. If anything, the video (in question) helped convince me that the Vista X is the right decision (along with the way your company listens to potential customers and the comments from Keith and Sven).

I hope the Vista X is an amazing success – for the company and its customers.
 
Very well said Aaron. Personally, I unsubbed Calabash a while back when he started bashing Tesoro so I was unaware that he has now been attacking DeepTech. I have no use for the attitude on his videos nor his disdain of analog machines. It is really just ridiculous and does nothing to add anything positive to the metal detecting hobby. I have my own YouTube channel and have been doing very well with it. I really want to try out a DeepTech on some of my sites but have to wait until I can afford to pick up another machine. I have been following you and DeepTech for some time and love everything I have seen and heard about them. I am a dig it all hunter and have no need for discrimination. I don't use it anyway! lol I just want something that is fast, goes deep and slices through the iron. Hopefully, I will have one soon so I can get to know these machines better and let people see what they can do at hunted out relic sites. Keep it up Aaron, I love how the company listens to it's customers and I really like their approach to detecting. ATB Greg
 
This is my Golden Anniversary in Detecting. I came up on detectors without meters when modulation was very important. I can still remember using a Whites 4900 and finding a ton of relics. One day Whites came out with a meter on the Blue Eagle. After using this detector and seeing my finds rate drop my digging partner stated. George you use to be a great relic hunter until you changed detectors and started " Watching that Screen" instead of listening. He was right. Now I have used too many detectors to count, from all over the world. When you stop listening it's over Johnny.
