Announcing The New Makro Racer 2!


Recommended Posts

I am writing something up that may help and will post soon so stand by.

The short answer for me personally I have chosen to go 56 kHz Gold Racer for gold nuggets and jewelry, and 14 kHz Racer 2 for jewelry and coins. If I was trying to replace both with one detector, it would be the 19 kHz FORS Relic to do it all.

Thanks, Steve. Looking forward to your write up.

You've written some very apt responses to this thread Steve, thanks! From your no-nonsense approach to analyzing how detectors work and from your arms-length assessment of their capabilities, I've learned more from your evaluations of various detectors than any other material I've read anywhere else. Nicely done and thanks for the hours of extra time you dedicate to doing your write-ups and your research.

All the best,

Lanny

Thanks Lanny, I appreciate that. I try to be even handed, but I do have a weakness in my own excitability. I get my hands on a new detector and get all gaga over it. My enthusiasm then can get a bit over the top and sound like some crazy sales pitch. When the reality is I don't care what or if other people buy at all. I really am just burbling on in a steam of consciousness way about what is crossing my mind. There never is any actual intent other than to be informative and maybe a bit entertaining. Just like you I suspect and so I thank you also for all your many contributions.

Dealers, if your not able to see them on the distributes site, a slight glitch.

Select the "shop by brand" tab, not the "metal detector" tab.

The Racer 2 is working really well in that Video, But there is one thing I would like to see changed on the machine  and that is Giving it a matt screen cover/lens because when the light from above hits it It makes it real hard to see the screen being too reflective. just a thought not being negative just an observation.

The Good thing about a matt screen is they also hide fine scratches from muddy fingers which keeps it looking smarter and more readable for longer.

Hope you don't mind me pointing that out,

john
