MOAH [mow-uh] // Mother Of All Hunts
Annual metal detecting hunts that take place around South Africa.
MOAH, aka The Mother Of All Hunts, are organised metal detecting events that take place annually in various provinces throughout South Africa.
MOAH metal detecting events are a great way to meet fellow detectorists and you get the opportunity to detect new sites that are rich in history.
Join us for what will be an EPIC metal detecting weekend!
MOAH 2021 will kick off in Gauteng this year, it will be our first, and we aim to make it an exciting and memorable one!
We are greatful to Leon and his team aka "The Three Musketeers" of the popular South African YouTube Channel, ZARRPS Metal Detecting SA who are hosting and organising the MOAH Gauteng Dig.

In the short time that XP Metal Detectors have been available in South Africa they have proven to be excellent relic detectors especially on Anglo Boer War sites. The XP DEUS is considered one of the best relic detectors worldwide and hugely popular in Europe, Australia, the USA and now South Africa. The XP ORX offers excellent value and is built on the same DNA as the XP DEUS and holds it's own on Anglo Boer War sites and is the first choice when it comes to gold prospecting in Africa.
Nokta Makro turned the metal detecting market upside down with the release of the affordable Nokta Makro Simplex+. The Simplex+ is a switch on and go detector with features that you would expect from detectors three times the price. Features such as waterproof down to 3m, wireless audio/headphones, extreme depth, auto ground balancing, notch discrimination, frequency shift, pinpoint function, vibration feedback, online firmware updates, built-in rechargeable battery, retractable shaft, LED flashlight, 5 x search modes and a 2-year warranty. It is no wonder the Simplex+ was officially the top-selling metal detector in 2021!
