Took a Hot Russian Hunting

Glad I didn't wait for that new Tesoro Cazador and got a Russian Berkut 5 instead.
Fantastic machine. Build quality is superb. It's everything I have ever wanted in a detector.
It works for me.

Two hunts from a worked out schoolyard the past week.
 
Never heard of the detector til' I read your post. Did a little research and sounds like a very nice machine. I like the multi-frequency coil that
operates in 3, 7 and 14 kHz. Those are some pretty amazing finds for a worked out school yard. Would you be able to provide more of the features and specs of the machine? I went on their website and do not have the manual available. Thanks - Jim
 
Mooore Gold.

The AKA Berkut 6" coil arrived today. Crazy fast from the US. Shipped first Class international ($11.00), on average takes 10-15 days to get here. Priority takes 7-8 days. Somewhere along the way, an Expresspost decal was slapped on the parcel. Shipped the 14th arrived the 17th. Three day service. Someone made a mistake. Good for me.................it made today a lucky day.

Attached the coil to the detector, bench tested it. Very very nice, decided to go out and see what it can do. Went with program 4, decided it was too hot, even with Turbo off. Decided to hunt with program 1 that I set-up for myself.
Hunted in all metal mode again, listening to tones and watching ID numbers of the targets I dug.

Remember a 40 something ID number before I dug this one target. After digging a 5" hole, spotted something, zippitdy doodah, it turned out to be another piece of gold. Three days in a row, now a piece of gold. This only happens in my dreams.

The 6" coil is also a 14khz as is my 6x10. It goes deep, for its size and very sensitive to very tiny targets.

sven if you like the machine I know its got something to it , awesome Gold finds as well. lets keep them coming , by the way the Mirage is awesome
 
Sven,great review,must admit its not very often a machine grabs my attention but after reading your various posts on a few forums,this one is very tempting,although i will never dive in and buy one mainly because i am frugal with my money and also the reliabilty concerns as we dont have any local support for these machines over here in the UK,i guess its the same in Canada as well.

Will give it little longer then finally make a decision and also see if i can find the combination lock on my wallet :rofl:
