DR.ÖTEK Metal Detector for Adults Professional, 10'' IP68 Waterproof Coil, 5 Detection Modes, Higher Accuracy, Pinpoint & Exclusive Memory Mode Bigger Backlit LCD Display, New Advanced DSP Chip

Quick sum up at the end :-) So, I bought a basic one at half this price just to get a view of metal detecting, I live nearby several beaches so always thought it would be fun. True enough, I was hooked and so were the kids, ages 6, 9 and 11. Went a few times but we were always fighting over who would detect so I had to buy another one, deciding to give the first one to the kids I started my research. Yeah I could have bought one for hundreds more but I'm not planning on becoming a pro, I wanted a nice basic lightweight detector. When I came across this one, it already had brilliant reviews but I was still sceptical because, come on seriously, this price for something rated so well. Well I bit the bullet and ordered, couple days later it arrived and I couldnt wait to get back out, quickly setup which again is super easy. Single 9v battery included that's also a bonus. So down the beach we went, detector on and we're off, after a few minutes I'm beeping, still learning what's what because yeah, I never read the instructions, but in all fairness, it's pretty simple to work out. Managed to find lots of junk so I changed the settings and the beeping stopped, wandering along for around 10-15 minutes and not a single thing, beginning to think it's not that good and then BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!. tells me it's about 4 inches down so I dig, low and behold, a £2 coin. Happy days, my first coin and its 2 quid, little smile on my face after that. So all in all, totally happy with it. (Plus wifes been out and she's hooked too so I think this will be added to her Christmas presents lol) Quick sum up: Only takes 1 battery but still lasts a long time which is good as my cheaper one took 2 and was dead at the end of each day. Height adjustable, I'm 5'9 and I only have it on the 2nd hole, theres another 4-5 more which i guess someone over 6ft would have no issues. Very clear and easy to use, tells me by number what sort of metal I'm looking at and at what depth in inches which seems pretty accurate. Lightweight and has a strap for your arm so you dont feel it after several hours. Completely adjustable for sensitivity, all metals or you can adjust down in stages to get rid of the junk. Has the built in pinpointer so that's handy, if I couldnt find what was beeping after I dug a hole and piled the sand, I lay down the detector with the end hanging over the hole and just picked up a handful at a time, waved it over the detector and if it went crazy from the pinpoint, I knew it was in my hand, if not I dropped it back into the hole. Oh, plus here's the biggie, theres a 2 year warranty with this one when you register it online, alot of other ones dont offer that especially at this price because they're cheap chinese junk.

I have been looking to get into Metal detecting for a while and was looking at more expensive machines. Then I came across this detector, read the many many positive reviews on both here and other sites and decided to give it a try. At just over £100 I admit i was still sceptical. Well, i was wrong to be sceptical. I have been out a few times since Christmas and what an amazing machine this is. Firstly, it takes 2 minutes to put together and set it to your required length. I had a very quick look at the instruction book but to be honest there is no real need. Its so easy to use and understand, the settings are simple, and within no time i was wandering around a field. The machine is super lightweight so you will have no issues going on long digs. Although i havent found anything of real significance (a button, parts from a plough, half a million nails and screws) this little detector will find whatever is underneath it. I was finding small items upto 10 inches down, or varying types of metal no problem at all. The pin pointer is extremely accurate. Dont get me wrong, there are more expensive and better machines out there and in time i will probably upgrade to one of them, but for the money and quality this is a no brainer. After watching many review videos I can now 100% agree with what they say about the DrOtek. This machine matches and even surpasses rival machines at over double the price!!! A very Very capable machine.

***This review has been updated - my initial review being at the top with an updated opinion underneath*** Having already owned an ÖTEK - the beginner's model - (and having been reasonably pleased with its performance) I decided to buy a slightly better model. I'm still a beginner and didn't really want to spend too much money on something which might be part of a short-lived hobby. So I opted for this one, despite lots of people on the internet suggesting that you should always go for a reliable, trusted and well known brand. And everything was going really well. In fact, to begin with, this model was finding lots of things that the beginner's model didn't. It was also very easy to use - the accuracy of the pin pointer was very good plus the accuracy of the discriminator seemed pretty good. Unfortunately, after using it through some wet grass, it started to go nuts - lots of constant bleeping, the pinpointing just pinpointed everywhere as a target and, eventually, it got to the point where I had to abandon detecting for the day. I was actually gutted. Because it was, when it worked, VERY impressive. There must be an issue with the coil - a gap or exposed area around the wiring. So, I reluctantly packed it up and sent it back. I have now spent £100+ more on the Garrett EuroAce. Which is, so far, a nice bit of kit. I suppose you get what you pay for, sometimes. ***Updated review (19/05/2022)*** This is my second review of the MT-XR from DR ÖTEK. My first review was full of praise for the MT-XR but admonished it for what appeared to be a reliability issue/fault with the detector. Immediately after leaving that review I purchased a detector by Garrett (the Euro Ace) which is/was about £100 more than the MT-XR. I've been using the Ace for a couple of years and have been mostly very pleased with it, but I was recently given an opportunity by DR ÖTEK to try out another MT-XR. I happily accepted the offer and several weeks/months later after testing it out in various environments (weather conditions and terrain) I'm prepared to say that I am very happy with its performance AND reliability: I had no issues or bugs this time around - I was satisfied that the detector was performing satisfactorily. Like with any detector, if the user isn't familiar with how certain conditions and soil/sand types can affect feedback from the detector then they will become frustrated or confused by false signals or indiscriminate alerts. I'll go into a little more detail about that shortly. The detector itself, in my opinion, is ideally suited for those who have already tried metal detecting with a cheaper/beginner's detector and want something with more power and features without having to spend big money that is usually required for high-end metal detectors. Garrett's Euro Ace is around the £270 mark, whereas the MT-XR is approximately £100 cheaper. And, if I'm really honest about this, in some aspects it shows - the Garrett feels very solid and the plastics feel more robust than the MT-XR. The main console/head unit is also higher in quality. But then it should be, considering the price difference. The MT-XR feels no heavier than the Garrett and, after making a couple of easy adjustments to the length of the arm, I quickly became comfortable with it. There are many things to like about the detector: it is really simple to use and very accurate (just as accurate as the Garrett). It won't detect quite as deep as the Euro but that wasn't really an issue. The discrimination can be easily adjusted to eliminate certain metals and the sensitivity can also be changed to allow for shallow or deeper searches - and this worked really well. Anybody new to detecting will eventually find out that beach metal detecting can be very frustrating and you have to be very mindful of depth, and possible subterranean pooling/saturation of seawater (which will give endless false alerts). For this reason you need to have a detector that you can trust to eliminate as many of these false alerts as possible. You'll still get some but that's just the "beauty" of beach metal detecting! Overall the MT-XR worked just as well as the Garrett: good accuracy and the selected discriminations worked well. I would even go as far as to say that the MT-XR was slightly better in some aspects: I like the numerical feedback given for each metal detected - this is quite important when trying to gauge what you've just detected without having to dig it up. I also like the adjustable sound levels (this is something the Euro Ace doesn't have - you have to wear headphones, have the sound off or annoy everybody within 50 metres every time your detector detects metal!). So, the Pros & Cons: Pros •Reasonably priced for a detector that compares well with more expensive detectors. •Accurate & reliable. •Plenty of good features. •Simple to use. •Great for anybody not wishing to commit big £€$ but still wanting good performance. Cons. •Doesn't feel or look as robust as some established brands (although I never managed to damage it despite putting it through its paces) - the main console feels like it needs strengthening. •Doesn't detect quite as deep as mid-price-range detectors. Overall verdict. This is a great value detector that is an ideal bridge from beginner's detectors up to mid/high range detectors. Metal detectors can be REALLY expensive. Anybody who is either thinking of taking up metal detecting or is considering buying a better model than an existing starter model will have seen many YouTubers who use very expensive detectors and will feel obliged to spend more than they really need or want to. You don't need to spend big money to get a detector that does the basics and does them well. The MT-XR is proof of this - it is perfect for anybody thinking of committing to metal detecting but wants to make sure that being a detectorist is something they can enjoy before spending too much money. Happy Bleeping!

Just been out to test this and can report for the price it is fantastic, I went with a friend who has a much more expensive detector and this one found everything his did at a third or the price! If you are thinking or giving detecting a go this is a good one to start with, Easy to set up and simple to use, also the trowel thingy it came with is brilliant as well.

We purchased this in desperation as my wife lost her beloved silver troll bead necklace "somewhere in the garden" this week. Secretly I have always wanted to buy a metal detector, and this was the perfect excuse! I needed to get something that actually worked, not too expensive but decent and with enough power and accuracy to try and pinpoint the lost item amongst soil, flower beds, gravel pathways and grass spread over a large front garden. We had tried for many hours to locate the necklace and we had even emptied all the waste bins and searched the house just in case! There are a lot of entry products out there but this DR.OTEK model came up positively in a quick scan across the web. I particularly liked the feature that discriminates between different metals as my garden is full of old nails which would give us too many false readings. The product was delivered promptly and after carefully assembling it we tested different metals to see how it performed (you do that on wooden table, away from any electrical appliance that might cause interference). This is fully explained in the provided instruction booklet and the button controls are quite intuitive. The detector makes a different sound depending on the material, proximity, etc and we used a similar necklace to get a quick calibration. We even tried a gold ring to see how it responded. After this quick set up we went outside like excited children to see what we could find... We spent about 20 minutes concentrating on the flower beds to no avail other than rusty nails which the machine indicated correctly so we then moved on to the gravel pathways where low and behold we got a very strong and clear signal like the one tested earlier - RESULT! The neckless was hidden several inches below the surface, bedded in the fine gravel. Our new detector has now more than paid for itself, my wife is so happy, and I have a new toy to play with!

The lightness of this detector, the Dr Otek MT-XR is amazing, a woman or even a child or disabled person could operate this all day and have no shoulder or arm ache, it took me about five minutes to put it together, when i saw how light the metal was i was concerned that maybe it was not very robust but when the tubes are slid into place it becomes quite strong in construction, forming a "double" tube, with the spring loaded buttons it is simple to adjust to your own personal spec, no matter how tall or short and the twist grips hold the whole thing sturdily together, it adjusts to fit into the boot of the car in seconds, i tried out the Garret 400i which was good but i found the mode adjustments too complicated and the handle grip gets wearying after a while, whereas the Dr Otek technical adjustments were so easy to understand and remember, the handle fits into the palm in a much more natural way and the foam padded arm rest with velcro securing strap makes it into a most natural extension of your arm. The Pin Pointer button is amazing and really centers the object detected, i have read that you have to go by the outer ring but i found if you go over the object in a cross shape it get it bang in the center of the search head, the depth gauge is very accurate also and saves unnecessary digging. At the beach it is easy to tune out unwanted items such as ring pulls, personally though i leave everything in just to relieve the monotony of large areas with no hits and the back lit screen is great in low light conditions. My first time out with it on a friends farm produced two metal buttons, two horse shoes and a George the third cartwheel penny, the really spooky thing though was on the first button, i dug out a circular clod of earth and as i pulled it out of the ground there, at the bottom of the hole staring back at me was of all things not found with a metal detector, a flint arrowhead ! i could not believe it, if i had dug a half inch to much or less i would not have seen it, the signal from the button gave the signal that unearthed where it had laid for thousands of years, it is awaiting examination by the "finds" department of the National Museum of Wales, where hopefully they will be able to accurately date it, every time i look at it, i wonder about the person who made it, to him i suppose it was the height of technology, it may have meant his next meal, or helped keep him and his family safe, of course it may also have been made by his child or woman, whilst he was out looking for their next meal, so my metal detector can also be a time machine that helps me look into the past, hopefully one day i will achieve what we would all love and find a hoard or a gold coin but until then the little things keep my interest up and i have complete confidence in my friend, Dr Otek, if it is down there, we WILL find it, I am lucky enough to live by the coast and have found that with the waterproof search coil i can amble along in around three or four inches of water with complete confidence but i need to get myself a sand shovel, it is like a sieve so the sand and water run through and leave the find in the shovel. The only not so good thing that i could find was that it does not come with a rain cover for the digital control head but cling film does an adequate job but all in all, I love it, it performs better than my neighbours much more expensive one, the look on his face when he saw what i had found on my first foray with it was priceless. Rest assured you will not be disappointed with this, I am so glad that i chose it.

I have a had a few detectors during the last 40 years, but pound for pound this beginner entry level machine far outweighs the pro's from the cons. At only £94+ it is constructed of ultra lightwieght material, as not to tire your arms, but ease of use, and added other factors. Discreminating modes are easily changed, and are accurate to a very high standard. It has converted three of my grandsons from mobile phones and games consoles, which was ( I thought ) an impossibility. The look on their faces when it has found material, and starts bleeping, well you can imagine the scene. Another little added extra, and cash saver is the pinpointing device built in, saves time and money from a seperate device. If you are thinking of starting up metal detecting, give this little beauty a try, many thanks to Dr Otek and friends.When it is at a later date I may well upgrade to the more expensive Dr Otek models. I remain a very happy customer. Dave Parton Shropshire.

DR Ötek MT-XR Metal Detector Review (January 2022) Hello there, here is my HONEST review of the Dr Ötek MT-XR metal detector. Firstly I’d like to say that I am a complete novice to metal detecting and I have never owned or even been metal detecting before! For years I have wanted my own detector but Ive never really been able to afford one. So just after Christmas I decided to buy my first, and after watching countless videos and reviews of the MT-XR I decided to take the plunge and buy one. I got it for just over £120.00 from Amazon. And being a prime customer I had further discount on top of the already discounted price. I received the detector in the post a few days later (after the bank holiday early Jan) the box was well packaged and secure, and I was very happy with the service. The detector itself was extremely simple and straight forward to put together. And within 5 minutes I had assembled the machine with no hassle. It’s very lightweight and very easy to use. There’s a decent amount of settings on the machine that any novice can easily understand. (Like me) The detector takes a simple 9v battery which does come included in the box to get you started. Although I would suggest buying a rechargeable 9v battery if you’re going to be keeping the machine for a long period. As the cheaper battery included isn’t the best. But that really isn’t an issue. Like most people I couldn’t wait to try out the detector, so straight away, just as the sun was setting I decided to have a quick walk around in the garden using the jewellery setting and 3 bar sensitivity and started walking around. (Here comes the exciting part) So off I wondered into my back garden and started swinging away. Sure enough after a few small signals and digging a couple of bolts/nails from the ground I had a decent 80+ signal pop up only about 4 inches down. I dug my little hole into the soil and unearthed a bent coin shaped bit of metal. I quickly filled the hole back in and rushed inside the house to get some light on it (as it was dark out and I left my phone inside the house) After a gentle wash with warm water, the coin I found was a actually a, Hammered Edward 1st Silver Groat!!! Roughly dating from 1200AD. I was over the moon!! Now after nearly a week of ownership I am really happy with how the machine operates and feels. It’s such a great machine for novices and beginners like me, and anyone could easily use it. The tones are good and the finding depth is brilliant. And it’s yesterday, I also found a 1874 Queen Victoria Penny. I’m super happy! I decided to buy the bundle version which included the carry case and tool set for digging. Which arrived in the box and are very well built. The tool is heavy duty enough to dig through rough hard soil and the pick axe On the back of the tool is brilliant for helping move the boulders from the deeper holes. I give the machine a solid 10/10 rating. I’ve also registered the detector through the website which now gives me 2 years warranty, and in doing so, I received 10% off my next order. Thanks for taking the time to read my long review. Stay safe, and happy hunting! Jon. (Wales, UK)

Fungerar mycket dåligt

Great beginner metal detector for anyone with some curiosity towards starting a new hobby. The kit was very simple to install and very straightforward to its use. It's a great product especially at this price point

Questo metal detector DR.ÖTEK è davvero un ottimo prodotto, perfetto sia per chi è alle prime armi sia per chi cerca uno strumento preciso e affidabile. Il display LCD è chiaro, retroilluminato e facile da leggere, permettendo di distinguere bene i diversi tipi di metalli e la profondità dei ritrovamenti. Ho apprezzato molto il kit di accessori incluso: le cuffie consentono di sentire chiaramente i segnali acustici anche in ambienti rumorosi, la pala/scavino è robusta e indispensabile sul campo, e la borsa rende il trasporto comodo e pratico. È leggero, maneggevole e ben bilanciato durante l'uso. Rapporto qualità-prezzo eccellente, un acquisto super consigliato per le uscite di ricerca!

Después de unos meses probándolo, puedo emitir una reseña más acertada. El detector viene en una caja, algo más pequeña de lo que pudiera parecer, o al menos de lo que yo había visto en algunos videos de internet. Pero lo que más ocupa es el brazo, y éste viene desmontado en tres piezas, con el plato y centralita. Además del detector, en la caja se incluye una bolsa de transporte, pala, cascos/auriculares y manual con batería para el detector. - Bolsa de transporte: es sencilla, de una sola capa, pero funcional. Entra todo el detector, aunque si quieres añadir alguna cosa más ya va justa. Impermeable. - Pala: de muy buena calidad. Nada que envidiar a palas de marcas mucho más conocidas. Es algo más grande que una pala de jardinería, además viene con las medidas de profundidad grabadas y una funda para cinturón, también de buena calidad. - Cascos/auriculares: Son sencillos, pero funcionales. El cable es largo y además puedes regular el volumen desde un interruptor que lleva integrado. - Manual: No viene en castellano, pero con los dibujos ya te puedes hacer una idea. De cualquier forma, se puede descargar el manual en castellano (la traducción no es muy buena). Este es el enlace: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91O7Cn6418L.pdf PROS Y CONTRAS: No es un detector profesional, algo entendible por el precio y el chip que utiliza el terminal, aún así los materiales de construcción son buenos, hay plástico, pero también aluminio. El diseño y la construcción son buenos. El montaje es sencillo, aunque es bueno fijarse la primera vez en las imágenes del manual, ya que si las barras se colocan mal tendrás que volver a soltarlas si quieres ajustarlo. Sobre el ajuste del brazo, permite usarlo a niños y adultos de cierta estatura (con 180 cms. todavía me queda barra para alargar el brazo) o bien hacerlo más cómodo en su uso. La pieza superior del brazo es de aluminio, la inferior de plástico. Se unen entre sí con pasador y rosca, deslizándose una en el interior de la otra, y tornillos para el aro del brazo, el plato y la centralita. El manual, como he escrito, no viene impreso en castellano, pero el anuncio de Amazon incluye el enlace de descarga en castellano (lo he puesto más arriba). Funcionamiento sencillo, con unas funciones básicas pero más que correctas. No tiene que envidiar a otros detectores de marcas más conocidas y que duplican el precio. Detecta, en función del metal y el tamaño de la pieza, a una profundidad de hasta 30 cms. La discriminación es buena (hay que practicar y conocer el valor de los números que van saliendo o, mejor aún, del sonido). Además incluye la función de Pinpointer que resulta bastante útil para centrar el lugar de búsqueda, con la paleta, que esa sí que es de excelente calidad. Iluminación posterior de la centralita, en un color blanco azulado que no molesta. Sonido alto, pero ajustable. Display intuitivo y fácil de leer. En mi caso, como he visto en fotos de otros compradores, al quitar la lámina de protección del display ha quedado una marca en el plástico fino que lo cubre (no se lo he quitado, ya que no influye en el funcionamiento del detector). Bajo peso, lo que lo hace utilizable también por niños. La bolsa de transporte, más que transporte, sirve para guardarlo y que no coja suciedad, eso sí, no es muy grande para meter accesorios. En algún anuncio había visto que se incluía una pequeña funda transparente para la proteger la centralita del polvo y la lluvia pero en mi caso no venía. En mi opinión, el mejor detector de iniciación, si no dispones de mucho presupuesto o quieres valorar si te va a gustar o no la afición.

Voilà 3 ans que je m'en sert , très bon passe temps avec les enfants facilite d'utilisation
