Micronta 4003

Post by Albert »

Hi all !



I want to buy a second hand Micronta 4003 metal detector...

I've got a Ace250 but I want one more for the beach...

Does anybody used it ?

How many inches it gives on a coin or like a big peace of metal ?

Does it gives any falce signals ?

Does the factory still produce them, or they are all about 10-15 years old ?

Is it beter than Micronta 4001 or MD-3005, or it is the same as MD-3006 ?

What its actual price ?

But I very like the design and that its simple to use (it seems to me :D )...

Or is that just like a toy ?

It would be very intresting to hear the comments !


Thanks !

I used to be a Manager for Tandy before they went bust and Micronta was one of their 'brand names'. Radio Shack being another.

Someone wants £60 for one of these now on Ebay.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than £5 as they are just a step up from a toy.

yea it is strench... somebody say that it finds a big coin or piece of metal - on 7 inches deep...!!! =))


and somebody say that it cant see the big piece of metal on the floor... :-/


Maybe all problem is in Setup, because there a lot of setup butoms - like discrim, tone VLF and things like that...

Or maybe in china they produce them like 50/50 , so you will never no is it will be good...

Any way I decided to buy it because it has the same number of configurations and setups - like MD-3006 (Seben) there plenty of these ones on ebay, but micronta is much smaler, cheaper and I think that it is made more acurately...


I want to dig WW2 batlefield sites in Europe with it, and if it will be ''rubish'', so I will try it on the beach... :D
