To all who have Nokta Gold or Core I want to hear from you. My question is there a setting on the control box that would stop a number display on the LCD on the handle? My thinking is that all ID numbers that shows up on the control box screen should show up the same on the LCD handle. Reading the manual I can't find what I may be doing wrong. If you can think of anything I'm all ears. Thanks Chuck

I got the new handle from Nokta today and it's not a fix.In other post I've said the trouble may be coming from the control box. Why I was thinking this was because you had LED's in the handle that lite up. This tells me you got battery and ground to the handle. You have to have some type of sending unit in the control box that just wasn't doing it's job. When they said send the handle back I said okay Nokta made it and they should know more about electronics than I do. I must say I've made bad calls so I can't kick Nokta for this one. The bad thing is this detector is a long ways from home and I don't wish to send it to Kellyco. Chuck Anders

Nokta I went ahead and got the defective part off today. I've email you the tracking # with DHL This is my first that a company paid shipping both ways. Thanks for the service Chuck Anders.

It's been said the proof is in the pudding. What you show Steve on the chart we'll get more bang for our buck with Racer Gold. I just wonder if other detector companies are taking notice of what's being shown. The cheaper detectors in my opinion have no place for us that been at it for a long time. Even I must say I've got the Go Find 60 but that's because the kid in me pop out. I look so cool out with it and then unfold it. What that does for me is beyond words.Ha Chuck

I just don't think my wife is going to buy that this detector company is shipping them free to me.Oh well it don't hurt to try. No I'm waiting on the Nokta Impact in hopes it's more a coin detector. Chuck

Nokta I thank you for the great service. i'll have the defective rod headed back when DHL brings my new one. No need to be sorry. Sometimes you think you got it all covered but one will slip by. That's what you call life and we are human. When I get the part I can assure you I'll have the detector working in short order. Hope to reply back it's fixed. Thanks again Chuck

Steve This is the first detector that came in two parts that I've had. The only reason I'd want the whole detector sent to me being it may not be in the handle. Nokta is a long way from the US and if this is not a fix then I've got to wait it out again for the control box. Chris is a great guy and he didn't tell me to go suck a egg. With me if I can get the help like Nokta is offering then I don't need the help from a dealer. I'm not much on second hand info being I'm a big boy and I can do it myself You talk about MFG. selling their own product. That may work for some but as a whole I don't think so.. Too many people want to get their hands on a detector before they buy. Like the Nokta I'm going on the word of others that have one. Yes I put my money down about a month before I got the detector. I not wanting more than what I paid for . Year ago I had a dealership from White's I too didn't let a detector go until it was checked out. The trouble with me I was like a kid in a candy store and didn't want to let it go. Chuck

I sent Nokta my address like they requested Monday. This morning I get a text from DHL saying they have my detector ;part and I'll get it on Friday. I've never had a detector that came in two parts. This is the thing that makes me uneasy but I got to put my faith in Nokta. I'm sure they have been down the same road before. I need to send the handle I have to them but going to check that comes with my new handle. The address that's came with the detector is longer than my arm. I just don't want it to get lost in space and never come down to earth in the right place I can't be spending my time thinking about that anymore. The Nokta Impact will be out in 2016 and I need to spend my time thinking about it. Nokta I f you will send me a good address I'll get the handle off to you this week. I thank you for the quick service. chuck Anders

californiagld It's May the force of the Fors Gold Plus be with you.HaHa I can't say I've never had to send a detector back but never new out of the box. About this detector I'd just like to been told to send it back to the dealer and sent another one. I don't care what the problem is I just a working detector. I don't care to be in the loop of finding their trouble. My money wasn't defective.when I sent it to the dealer. Chuck Anders

californiagold I'm sure I'll be happy with the detector when it's fixed. I don't think I've heard you say a bad word about Nokta detectors. Don't get me wrong I was not happy with a detector new out of the box with trouble. It's a first for me of the 45 years I've been swinging one. So I guess you could say I was due one.Ha I've always got a backup. Like a 4500 , SPP ,GMZ and did have a Gold Big Pro. I sold the Pro to buy this one. Oh forgot about the Infinium LS and the SDC 2300 but sold it. I collect detectors like a friend collects guns. If you ever need a two box detector I have a Fisher too. If I sold all my detectors the walls of my house would fall in. Chuck Anders

Well I got a email from Nokta and they will send me a new handle and I will send them the defective one. They want to see just what the trouble is. I hope the problem is in the handle and not in the control box. What I could tell is everything works correct on it. Now only time will tell. I think if it was me I'd send both that has been tested but it's their cat and they can skin it like they want. Chuck Anders

Hi Narrawa If check all detectors you send out first your doing the buyer a great service. I guess most don't think a new in the box detector would come with trouble. I didn't think so but I've been prove wrong. I'd like to see a new detector sent to me being this one never got out the door. When I seen it had a problem that's where I stop. I couldn't see myself having to look at the side of the control box and the light only comes on when you change the settings. Chuck Anders

You can see this detector is top quality made. Lots better than some I've had in the past. Some how this problem is getting pass them but it shouldn't. I'm going to email them now and hope this will help fix a problem they didn't know it was one till now. californiagold I thank you so much for offer of a detector if I was near. Some people like to buy guns but me I buy detectors. So I do have a backup. I'l keep everyone posted on the out come. The Best Chuck

Steve I will let you know what my out come will be. The pins was the first thing I checked and then the plug. All looked good with nothing loose when put them together. I'll talk with Chris tomorrow to find out where I go from here. Till then Chuck Jasong This is the first time a new detector came out of the box with trouble. I hope I do have better luck than you. I'm one that don't give up are give in. I know what you say but at the same time I've heard good things about Nokta..

Yes Steve the display on the side of the control box works great. So far I can't find anything wrong with it. Like I said when detecting in Gen and get a ID number on the box but nothing on the handle screen. It will light up and that's all I get. I hope Nokta can say the trouble is in handle or the control box. I hate to have to send the complete detector back.. It's their call. Chuck Anders PS I want everyone to know this detector as one can see it's well made. I really like the looks it's just when it's you that has trouble it gets personal.

I just got my Nokta gold plus detector today and ran into trouble . The screen on the handle will light up but can't get a number display on it. I've check the pins and plug with both looking good. I plug it back in and still have the trouble. The detector was double box and it didn't have any damage to either one. I hope someone has had the same problem with a quick fix. I really don't want to have to send it in before I can use it. Chuck Anders

californiagold It's good to see and hear how well the Gold Plus is doing. The person behind it all knowing about his machine goes a long way. What I don't understand is why all the Gold Plus is not getting pass the west coast.HaHa The best to you california and keep on reporting the yellow metal you find. Chuck Anders PS You anywhere near Merced? From 61 to 64 I was station at Castle AFB and went up and down the 49ers trail looking for gold. If I don't remember anything else it will be that.

Nokta I thank you so much for your reply.I know it's coming but it's a hard one on the waiting part. Thanks Again. Chuck

Nokta You posted back in Oct. 07th that the Gold Plus should be here soon. Just to let you know I put my money down for one with Chris on AZoutback. I found one guy on ebay that has them for sale but talking about later ship date that he just changed a little later. I believe good things is worth the wait and I don't plan a trip anytime soon to any gold fields. The thing is after 41 days from your first post I'm wondering where is it ? I'm looking forward to all the new detectors you have coming. I just hope I don't run out of money when I see I want another one like the Impact. The word it's self sounds if it has to be a great detector Nokta I thank you for posting here and I wish more detector companies did. Chuck Anders

Hi Jasong Did you buy your Nokta from Kellyco ? I know the Gold Bug Pro is a great detector but I just sold it to a friend. Done it to buy another and I don't know what that is at this time. That's not much of a repair depot if they give you the run around and just sit on it. I had the same trouble with a TDI and it came back three times from White's. The way it got fix was Jimmie S. said give me a new one and they did. Chuck

Well Chris has posted the amount he will sell the Nokta Fors Gold Plus and that's 679.00 with free shipping. He said he should have them in stock by next week. So if you would like one out of the first batch them put your name in the pot now. Chuck

Hey Dean Some years back I'd went to Miss. to help my family do repairs because if a storm they had Well we were putting a roof on one rent house. The guy next door came out and said that roof was going to leak and we ask why. His answer was it had three left handed people on it. I can move a hammer from one hand to the other and not slow down. To hit a ball, to shoot has to be off the right but to eat are write has to be the left. One odd duck. Take care Dean we'll be okay Chuck

Well californiagold You could say that I'm a odd duck. I'm left handed and some things I can use both hands but swinging a detector has to be the right hand. Nokta That is great a company is willing to help the left handed people out. I'm looking forward on seeing the videos done on the Fors Gold Plus. Like what cagold said on setting up your detector any change to the detector would be small. So like my 4500 a quick look and a flip flop of the controls being it neither has a heads up display. I'm spending more time in the field swinging my detector and that's what finds you the gold. The Best on your New Line of Detectors. Chuck Anders

Californiagold On the Fors Gold did you find having to look on the side of the control box a problem to check settings? Even the 5000 you have to do the same thing. Just maybe it's why you said you may wait on the Racer Gold to come out. I know myself I too would like to see what it has to offer before buying anything. Oh well I guess time will tell us all what we want to know. Chuck

Yes I too would like to know what new detector it will be. Now if you try to take away the 5000 from your wife it will be your last dance. Waiting !!???? Haha Chuck
