Racer 2 Trial Run

[bado1]

Excellent explanation, Steve! Thanks.

The thing Tom as you note settings is one thing, but another is the machines inherent ability to not improperly identify non-ferrous targets as ferrous in the first place. Certain machines recognize the fact that people hate to dig trash, and so when it gets down to that critical point they lean more towards calling stuff ferrous than the other way around. This means less trash digging but more items get called ferrous that should not be. Other machines push this area very hard, meaning more non-ferrous items get identified properly. It may also mean a few more false positives. This is the area where the Euro machines excel and the place where in my opinion the Makro machines give the Deus a serious run for the money performance wise but in a more traditional package. The big benefit is coil options:

Agree and why I would like to see Makro come out with a lower freq coin detector with the ability to use concentric coils.  A little more reactive to high conductors and concentric coils for iron hunting.
