Field Test Report Nokta Impact
Treasure Hunting magazine|September 2017

I was pleasantly surprised when I was asked by Treasure Hunting magazine to conduct a field test for the new Nokta Impact. So, before I delve into the machine itself, I think I ought to explain a few things about the company who makes them.

Field Test Report Nokta Impact

 

Manufacturing Company

Nokta and Makro are two brands that belong to the same company these days. They are Turkish manufacturers who are very keen to grow and develop their share of the detector market place. They have been achieving this by bringing out new machines on a regular basis over the last few years.

Judging by these new developments they seem to put the feedback from both their field testers and customers at the top of their priorities. I first bought the Makro Racer 1 when it came out. It was a capable switch on and go machine, marketed at a very reasonable price, but with one or two small teething issues.

To my knowledge Makro and Nokta customer care is second to none, having personally experienced a small issue that was quickly resolved. I therefore got to know their main repair agent in Europe. Karin Kooistra handles all their repairs and her company is called The International Detector Center based in Holland and Germany. Karin regularly sends me Nokta and Makro machines to review these days, hence the reason I’m writing this field test. Karin works closely with Dilek who is the sales manager for Nokta and Makro. These two ladies spend countless hours dealing with customers and always put them first. The next machine I was sent to review was a real revelation. The Makro Racer 2 is not only one of my all-time favourite detectors but also that of many other detectorists too. Personally I think the Racer 2 is the absolute pinnacle of switch on and go detecting; it’s absolutely packed with features and is a very deep machine. I have found amazing coins and artefacts with both the Racer 1 and Racer 2.

First Impressions

On opening the box containing the Nokta Impact, I could see straightaway that they really mean business with this machine.

Lost and Found?

There have been several instances over my long detecting career where, not only has it has been a delight to be able to help people who have lost things, but also a great thrill when such losses are returned to their owners. I have several memories of such occurrences.
