Any word on release date/price yet?

Hi Steve, Which headphones are you currently using with the Gold Racer? Would you recommend this detector for Southern california deserts? As of right now I'm using a GB2 with Sun Ray Pro Gold headphones. Thank You, Mike Gibson

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum!

I try to stick to what I know. Having never detected in SoCal and never having used the final product it is premature for me to recommend anything to anybody. I have done the best I can to describe the machine and what it might be capable of but that is about as far as it goes right now. What I am seeing suits me to a tee and I will be using nothing but a GPZ 7000 and the Gold Racer for my prospecting from here on out. If you have a Gold Bug 2 you are well covered and no rush to do anything different.

I also am a Sun Ray Pro Gold (the special CTX version) user. They work with everything I own.

I have to believe we will know soon, but I don't know any more than you Ray.

Great review Steve. Very thorough.

 

Ok, now I have a stupid question.

 

Why is this called a VLF detector if it's running at a higher frequency?

Shouldn't it be called a VHF detector?

Radio spectrum breakdown---

 

As you can see VHF is in the 100 megahertz area

I don't know how right this is but this is what I have always been lead to believe,

Ah, I see what happened! I got the KHz confused with the MHz!

Now I understand.

 

Thanks!
