Our background
My dad took me on my first search 30 years ago, and since then, I have traveled all over Poland using various metal detectors. This is why I know what you, as a fellow detectorist, want from your detector and how that detector should work.
My passion
Metal detectors are not just a way for me to earn money; they are what I use day in and day out in the field. I use the detectors I have designed, so I am constantly questioning how I can improve them. These thousands of hours of refinement and testing are your guarantee of perfection.
Our Designs
We design our detectors from first principles, these are not copies of 20-year-old designs. We are not constrained by what has gone before, as technology and components have changed, so have we. Using the latest electronic design concepts, computer-aided design, and the most advanced microprocessors we can prove that our detectors exceed today's engineering standards.
Our expertise
The hours I have spent in the field searching using a variety of detectors produced by other producers ensure that I know what is happening elsewhere in our market. As a result, I know that RUTUS detectors are at the leading edge.
Manufacturing
We are a small company, but by using a range of specialist partners we can source parts of the highest quality. By bringing in additional engineering expertise from various fields, we make products of the highest quality. Together our partners and specialists make sure that when you hear RUTUS, you think GOOD.
History
Outside of Europe, there have been few wars, and modern history is limited to the past 200 years. This means that the objects we are searching for, and therefore the detectors we require differ too. Our detectors are designed to be adaptable from searching for hidden chests to militaria and yet also be effective at finding silver coins long buried and forgotten. At the heart of this is our method of discrimination, which allows you to uncover interesting finds while being able to ignore the rubbish.
Flexibility
For most detectors, the operating frequency defines the capabilities. Not so with the Alter range of detectors, with the ability to select a spectrum of frequencies, something which makes our detectors a cut above the rest.
Value
We price our detectors so that you receive value. We make sure that where only the best will do that that is what we use. By doing so we ensure that we can provide the best quality, at a price which gives you the greatest value.
Service
Because RUTUS manufactures the products we sell, we can guarantee that we have a complete set of spare parts available at all times. Our costs are based on the costs of production, not those of a service and shipping spare parts from the end of the world. Together this means that we can complete repairs quickly and at minimal cost. Most small repairs are completed free of charge, even once your two-year warranty has ended. As an owner of a RUTUS detector, you are a partner.

Rutus Versa Metal Detector Review – A Versatile Tool for Serious Treasure Hunters
The Rutus Versa metal detector is well suited to intermediate and experienced treasure hunters. It is packed with some very usable features.
I found using this versatile detector offered exceptional performance, making it one of my top choices in 2025. Lightweight and ergonomic, the Versa is designed for comfort, allowing users to work in the field or beach for hours without strain. Its adjustable shaft ensures a perfect fit for all body types, while the large LCD screen provides clear, easy-to-read results.
Equipped with multiple search modes, the Rutus Versa will be very capable of finding various metals, including small coins, relics, and jewellery, across different terrains. The detector’s choice of factory or custom settings will make this metal detector ideal for both land and beach metal detecting. As with most top end machines, its discrimination settings allow users to filter out unwanted targets, streamlining the hunting process.
But the Rutus Versa takes it a little further, allowing the user to fine tune the machine to almost perfection.
