Recommended Posts

Makro has just introduced a new lineup of metal detectors waterproof to five meters (16.4 feet) that includes a new prospecting model - the Gold Kruzer. The Gold Kruzer is no doubt based on the earlier 56 kHz Makro Gold Racer but at a slightly higher frequency. The Gold Kruzer only weighs 3.0 lbs and runs for up to 19 hours off the built-in rechargeable LiPo battery. The stock coil is a 5.5" x 10" DD coil with optional coils available.  The Makro Gold Kruzer comes with 2.4 Ghz wireless headphones and has online firmware update capability. The new Gold Kruzer will sell for $749.00

New machine looks like waterproofed and modified NOKTA Impact ;)

At a waterproof 3 lbs I would think the Multi Kruzer will put a dent in Nokta Impact sales, it being not waterproof and 4.2 lbs for about the same price.

The Gold Kruzer at a waterproof 3 lbs and 61 kHz with built in wireless looks to shake up the "over 30 khz" single frequency nugget detector market.

Fisher Gold Bug 2 71 khz 2.9 lbs $764

Makro Gold Kruzer 61 khz 3.0 lbs $749 (includes two coils)

Makro Gold Racer 56 kHz 3.0 lbs $699

Minelab Gold Monster 45 kHz 3.2 lbs  $799 (includes two coils)

White's GMT 48 khz 3.9 lbs $729

Note that the Makro Gold Racer is $699 with one coil and the Gold Kruzer $749 with two coils. That would seem to effectively kill the Gold Racer unless they drop the price. (2/8/2018 Note - at least one dealer has dropped Gold Racer to $594)

So selectable frequency, not simultaneous multi-frequency?

I am assuming for now that the Multi Kruzer is selectable single frequency like the Nokta Impact, not actual multifrequency. I wish Nokta/Makro had not done that. Up until now everyone in the metal detector industry agreed that multifrequency meant simultaneous multiple frequency operation. Now explanatory asterisks have to explain even that term. Maybe Makro will surprise me and say otherwise however so take this post with a grain of salt.

Selectable Frequency And Multiple Frequency

I think Minelab patents are sewing up the mulit-frequency market.

Looks good.

Waiting on the operating manuals to come out.

Carl set me straight on the minelab patents.  I mis-spoke.
