 That's my thinking too. Not that I'm going to change but wanted to hear others opinion. One thing I found out long ago and it's no stupid question.

 Chuck

For years I didn't think about frequency and I still don't spend a lot of time thinking about it now. I know over time the powers that be have found one frequency over another will detect small gold. Oh I'm all for their endeavor. The thing is I've been a coin hunter lots longer than a nugget hunter. That single frequency has found me untold rings and coin back to the early 18 hundreds.

  Now here soon White's MX Sport Waterproof single frequency detector will hit the market. My thinking is why not it's been good to me all the years I've been swinging a single frequency detector. I know now we have detectors that can run in more than one frequency but do I really need it.

 I'd like to hear your thinking on this subject.

  Chuck

We have been hearing about every detector other than Nokta Impact. I've been sitting here waiting and waiting to hear from them.
Nokta it's time you let the cat out of the bag and show us a little .Do like White's been doing just show a little of at a time.
Oh the Nokta Fors Gold Plus is all Plus.
Chuck

PS Cat and metal detector is one of the same.( It's hit the market )

NOTE - THIS IS AN OLDER THREAD. The latest information on the Nokta Impact may be found here.

Hi Goldgrabber

  I can tell you how to make a Chinese Sluice that will get the gold and it won't cost over 5 to 10 dollars. The Chinese used this home make sluice when they didn't have nothing else. 

  It will take about a hour of your time to make it.

Chuck

It's called MD-hunter Blog.

 This guy has a banana has it on the ground and when he swings the MX over it he calls it a quarter. Later he starts to eat the banana and out comes a quarter.

  I wish I knew how to move it over here. I haven't heard about any release date.

Chuck

White's is putting the new MX Sport through test beyond any I've ever seen before. Over on MD a guy is making these test with his eyes covered with the Mx Sport. The one I can't believe is the banana test. Yes this one you have to see for yourself.

Hi vanursepaul

  With detectors past we dug it all. Here with your new Makro Gold detector it is best to dug all when nugget hunting. That's if you don't want to walk off thinking about that last signal. Just maybe I should have dug it .

  Even with the ID machines we have today. I still sometimes wish I'd dug that last signal. Lots of times I'm thinking this laying in bed at night.

 I wish all the luck with your new Makro Gold Racer. Thank you for the video and your time making it.

  Some time back I drove 18 hundred miles to meet with Digger Bob to nugget hunt in Nevada. The second day there I was told a bad storm was on the way and we needed to get out. So I drove back home to Texas. Maybe if gold wasn't the color it is just maybe we wouldn't go mad hunting for it.

  The Best on your next trip.

I love to dream and I've done a lot finding gold in another country but that's as far as it got.

 Here is my view.

 Say I go to Alaska and a American Bear eats me. Now I pass through it's system. Got that ?

The thing is I'll still be in the Good Old USA..

 Chuck

Hi Woody

  It looks good but if you can't get out alive it don't look as good anymore. When you step across that line from the USA into another country you lose control. One may be to have a gun to protect yourself. Another is you work finding the gold with others watching and waiting to take it away from you. You could wake up dead.You really don't wake up.

  I've looked at other gold  and I think about it but I just like me too much. What won't kill will eat you are both.Ha

  You go ahead and go Woody but post here when can.

Hey Deathray

   Nothing like finding those seated coins. Glad to see they still out there to be found.

Back  about 1972 I found 5 seated dimes under one bush. This place was a old fair grounds and the last one there was in 1945 I was told. Now this was found with a White's 66 TR. Then just about everything was coming up silver.

  The best to you on finding more.

     Chuck

  That first nugget will be always be a rememberable one. That next one is just around the corner.

Chuck

Auminesweeper

  Oh well my cup runs over with nugget detectors. I want it more for coin hunting and the waterproof part of it.

 Please don't rain on my parade.Haha

Chuck

Say you the Mfg. of the product can ask what you wish. The thing is you have to now convince me I can't live without your shaft you have . 

 If I want what you have my trouble is I don't look at the price. In this case it don't do anything for me and that's what makes it easy for me to say no.

 That is the way life is. Some things we can live without and others I can't live unless I can get it.

Chuck

PS I can't say I'd be happy even if you hung me with a new rope. I didn't like the twist. 

I love this forum.

Hi Steve

  I just went to take another look at the MX Sport. I may be wrong but they both sure look a lot like.

If I was to take a S shaft and lay it on top of this one I just don't see the 130.00 dollars worth. What I do see is just a sharp edge in the turns over the S shaft.

 Chuck

Guys

 This detector may not need the power you see in the power pack. I can give it but I've put a voltage regulator that will give you a longer run time. Now White's has made you happy with a great detector and it's so easy on batteries.

  I use the same pointer as you and I love it.

Gambler

  I didn't have my pointer with me the last time I was out nugget hunting. I plan on giving it a try that if and when I get to the gold fields again

When I was a kid I was told it's not polite to point. The kid got lots of years behind him detecting now.

  One dealer sent me a pinpointer some years back but I didn't like the looks of it. To me it look like a box of M & M peanuts that you get at the show with a big pencil sticking out one end.

  The newer shape came out you can wrap your hand around it and this I like. So when I ordered a detector from Digger Bob I said I'd try another pointer. So now I find myself as soon I open the ground I reach for my pointer. Oh my thinking is why didn't I use the first one I had.

  If anyone is out there detecting without one do yourself a favor and buy one. I think back for all the years I could have cut down on time looking for the target I'd located.

 I know they are not cheap but what is anymore.

  Chuck

Steve

  Do you remember when you could buy what was called a half battery. It looked like half the size of the standard one and I'd say this looks like a half size as the other. The battery then and now are different in looks and what's inside of the housing. You still have the power cable connection to deal with.

  If you thinking about buying Makro Gold Racer from Turkey or the Nokta fors Gold Plus go for it. I have the Nokta Fors Gold Plus but was defective out of the box. I said something on here about my trouble and they came to my aide. The first part didn't fix it but they paid shipping both ways. then sent the other the control box and that was the fix. Again they paid shipping both ways. Like said they paid it all and I wasn't out one cent..

 Makro and Nokta is one in the same company that came about when the two brothers came  together.

  I don't care what detector you buy. Your detector won't be any better until you learn all about what it can do. Then get out there and do it over and over again.

 Lots of people may not believe this but when you get to the point of what I said above. Then and only then you will be one with your detector. Always think positive thinking the next swing is going to be a nugget. In my case that was what I was doing coin hunting today.

  Now don't go and tell this to anyone when nugget hunting. If you come on dirt that has fallen out of a bulldozer tracks in the field check that dirt with your detector. I found two two gram nuggets doing that.

 The best

 Chuck 

If a SD goes south just where do you get it fixed.

In the past I've always said buy the best you can afford.The next one you can buy with the coins you found. I know on coin detectors this will whole true if you get out and use it. All detectors just need somebody behind it to work.

Chuck

You have so many new detectors that are coming soon if not already out. Heck I'd loan you my GMZ if was near. I just got it as a backup detector but now have one to replace it. The GMZ of White's is the low end of the GMT. The MX Sport will be out soon and all that I've heard it has a lot going for it. I hope to buy one more so for the coin hunting side of it and being waterproof.

Right now Digger Bob is testing it right now.and he knows what he's doing.

Chuck

Here I am posting at the same time Steve was.

 khouse you can take all what Steve says to the bank.

That guy is bubbling over with info.

 Chuck

Khouse

 If you can get some old shot gun shells and get the shot out. The old ones is got lead in it. If you can get your hands on any lead and then cut to different weights. This will take the place of the gold you don't have.

 Best of luck on the new detector when we can get one. Another thing if White's offer smaller coils for the MX you may need one. The trouble is you have to spend the money first to play the game.

  The best thing you can do is sit back and read what Steve and others have posted. Sounds like you have a good detector to start but just maybe all you need is a smaller coil for nugget hunting. I don't know the size of coil the MXT Pro comes with..
