Troy Custom Detectors from Joan Allen Detectors Direct
Welcome to our dedicated Troy Custom Detectors pages - an invaluable resource for both existing and potential Troy detector users. Uniquely, Troy detectors are designed by a professional metal detectorist (Troy Galloway) for fellow detectorists. They are engineered by the world's oldest and most respected metal detector manufacturer (Fisher Research), and distributed in the UK by Joan Allen Electronics Ltd - the most trusted name in metal detecting since 1968.
Troy's Shadow X5 and X3 have gained an excellent reputation in the USA for their superb 'no frills' performance on a range of sites and, since being introduced to the UK detecting scene, have proven to be perfectly suited to our own ground conditions. They excel at finding small objects in mineralized soil - for instance, locating small Roman and Celtic coins on sites where other top-of-the-line detectors struggle. On these pages you'll find full specifications for the X5 and X3, field test reports from UK and American detectorists, and a digest of useful hints and tips from Troy Galloway himself as well as other experienced Shadow-users. We are constantly adding new material, so keep this page bookmarked - in the meanwhile enjoy browsing, and if you require further information call us on 01959 571255 - we'll be pleased to help!
 The Shadow X5 is Troy's top-of-the-line detector, known as the 'ATD' - the 'All Terrain Detector'. With the wide variety of special applications and hands-on user options, it virtually eliminates the need to own more than one land detector. The X5 and X3 operate at 19kHz, and have unique discrimination operation with exceptional depth on both low conductive and high conductive targets. Greater sensitivity to higher conductive targets at 19 kHz is accomplished with a unique circuit that boosts the sensitivity of high conductive targets in both the X5 and X3 detectors. |

If your goal is to find deeper, quality targets, the Shadow X5 is a true all terrain detector, packing plenty of muscle to handle just about any hunting situation. It's simple to use, feather-light, and loaded with fingertip user options to maximize performance and minimize programming hassles. Once you've experienced the superior depth and discrimination capabilities of the X5, you'll find those "hunted out" sites aren't so hunted out after all! Finally...a single detector that really can do it all from coinshooting to relic hunting to competition hunting to beach hunting to cache hunting to prospecting! X5 SPECIFICATIONS:
