I’m a mechanical engineer with electronics studies, and detecting has been my passion since childhood in history-rich Ioannina. Minelab’s E-TRAC led me to my first Ottoman cache and proved what the right detector can do. Years of research across rugged mountains and deep sites have brought countless finds to light. For great depth on Ottoman and wartime hoards I rely on the GPX Series with large Commander coils; on beaches and daily hunts I rotate EQUINOX 800/900, MANTICORE, CTX 3030, and X-TERRA. I share my knowledge through private lessons, tutorials, and live demos so newcomers use their detectors correctly and enjoy better results. In 2023 I realized a dream by opening a Minelab store in Ioannina, proof of my commitment to growing the community and showcasing Minelab innovation.
