Tips & Tricks for Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer

Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer

Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer is one of the three models in the Kruzer series, and it is one of the most versatile and flexible in operation. Being all-purpose and almost all-terrain, this metal detector will make almost any treasure hunter happy, since it is stuffed with different amazing functions and features. If you would like to learn more about all details and nuances on this machine, check out this tips and tricks for using Nokta Makro Kruzer metal detector.

Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer is an all-purpose, extremely versatile metal detector created for treasure hunters with a medium-level of skill. While its settings are a bit more complicated, the metal detector is stuffed with cool and handy functions. One of the best things about it is that Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer not only has tools for detecting targets, it also has tools for solving typical problems a treasure hunter can face in the field.

Multi Kruzer was released in 2017, so it is comparatively recent, but due to the updatable software, it will be competitive for years ahead. It is powered by 4 AA batteries, with battery life of up to 19 hours. The metal detector is pretty lightweight, and has 2 years warranty. Its flexibility in operation can be further enhanced with additional compatible search coils.

Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer Features

Multi Kruzer by Nokta Makro is full of cool features which promise to make metal detecting efficient and productive. Since this is an all-purpose detector, the combination of functions and features allows maximum flexibility to show smooth and productive operation under different conditions. The most impressive features of this metal detector are listed below:

• waterproof up to 10 feet – this allows not only shallow water search, but also deeper underwater search, including saltwater search
• updatable software – this feature means that bugs, if any, are fixed with new updates, while the features will be kept effective and up-to-date with every new version
• VDI Target ID – assigned numerical segments mark different types of suggested targets depending on the targets’ chemical composition, making it easier for the detectorist to interpret the signals and take decisions about digging the items
• Automatic / Manual / Tracking Ground Balance – Ground balance is a crucial feature, and having three types of settings for it enables the metal detectorist to choose optimal tuning for various soils
• Pinpoint mode included – this feature makes detecting more accurate in terms of spotting the target’s location exactly
• Several frequencies are available – while the Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer is not actually a multi frequency metal detector – meaning it does not use several frequencies at the same time for scanning the ground – having three separate frequencies for different purposes is handy
• Frequency Shift – this feature allows to avoid noise from electromagnetic interference
• Iron Volume – allows to hear ferrous targets, adjust the volume for them, or completely turn them off
• Notch Discrimination – in addition to regular Discrimination, Notch allows to turn off signals for specific pixels assigned to very specific metals, thus making the metal detector ignore those pixels
• Extra Underground Depth – allows to spot metals on greater depths, despite iron mask or soil mineralization
• high Recovery Speed – allows the metal detector to quickly process response from every separate target, even if the targets are located close to each other, and thus give separate signals for separate targets
• the ability to charge the battery with powerbank – this ability is handy in the field if you don’t want to waste time of charging but the battery gets low.

Extra Underground Depth Feature

One of the biggest problems with hot rocks and high mineralization of soils is that they create electromagnetic response that masks response from the actual buried items. The deeper is the item, and the more other items are around it, the higher the chances the metal detectorist misses it due to masking. The more the user tries to discriminate, in order to see only potentially valuable targets, the more depth of reach they lose. This seems a vicious cycle, but it can be broken with the help of EUD feature.

The EUD feature in Multi Kruzer allows the detector to spot deeper items despite hot rocks or mineralized soils around. The machine assigns a different tone to those deeper items than the general tone in the used Search mode, so that the metal detectorist understood there is a deeper object down there. When EUD is activated, the metal detector does not discriminate metals, so the user will dig more ferrous items, but the chances of spotting something really valuable under the layer of highly mineralized soil also increase. Moreover, the EUD feature can be activated instantly for a specific patch of land, or continuously for the search session.

Tips & Tricks for Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer

There are a few tips for beginner Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer users they may find helpful. First and foremost, pay attention to the crucial setting of Ground Balance. To manage the setting, and to know exactly what type of soils you are to deal with, check out the GB value for the most widespread types of soil:

• 90-70 for highly mineralized, ferrous, and magnetic soils
• 70-50 for regular low quality soils
• 50-25 for wet salt sand and wet soils covered with a layer of dry soil
• 25-0 for salt water and soaking wet soils

Knowing your GB value, you will be able to tune other features, such as Notch Discrimination, Iron Volume, EUD, etc.

Moreover, if you have a good grasp of your settings, you may want to tune your ground balance to a slightly positive side to cope with highly mineralized soils and hot rocks. If the soils are poorly mineralized, you may want to tune the ground balance a bit to the negative side, so that “hotter” items would pop out.

Now let’s talk about the Target ID. First and foremost, the ID is suggested based on the target’s conductivity. Larger targets will usually give higher ID, despite their lower conductivity.

If you face a jumpy Target ID, there may be several reasons for that, in addition to possible breakage. If your target is located at a weird angle, of a weird shape, has corrosion on it, etc., it may produce more than one ID.

If you cannot see an ID, you may still have a target under the search coil, but it may be too small, located at an angle, or be at fringe depth. These are some things to keep in mind when dealing with the Target ID.
