AKA Piligrim 7247

The Piligrim 7247 is AKA's analog, no-screen detector, made for beginners and for hunters who prefer a simple machine. Instead of a display it gives multi-tone audio through headphones, and it has just two search modes: all-metal and discrimination. The discrimination function is intended to ignore common rubbish such as foil, nails and wire.

AKA states that it detects a 2.5 cm coin at about 400 mm and larger metal objects down to around 200 cm, depending on the coil chosen. The coil is bought separately, and AKA notes that a larger coil increases sensitivity. Category text also mentions a Faraday shield that helps stop reactions to small debris such as bottle caps. Power is from AA batteries for up to 18 hours, and the detector weighs about 1.4 kg.

A telescopic pole adjusts between 1100 and 1300 mm for comfort, and AKA backs the Piligrim with a two-year manufacturer warranty. For Pakistani buyers looking for an inexpensive, easy-to-learn detector for coins and general searching, it is a sensible starting point in the AKA range.
