Nokta Detectors

Hello all... many of you have been asking for more reseller options. With the efforts of our distributor Kellyco, here is our first additional reseller in the USA: http://www.arizonaoutback.com/azoroot/shop/category.aspx/nokta-metal-detectors/1039/ Thank you!

Dear Valued Members: We are proud to announce the new waterproof Nokta Pointer: http://noktadetectors.com/nokta-pointer.asp

No need to say sorry Steve. I thank you! You always have been a great help with your sincere and objective feedbacks. I also know you are more interested in the Gold Racer than the current one. When the gold version is close to finalization, I will definitely share more info.

Hello all..as I see many posts and comments on our shipping date, I wanted to clarify a few things: I saw a comment: ''makro is up to its arm pits with trying to trying to straighten out the mess they have with the Racer release.'' on another forum. I guess this is the price we have to pay for being so open and let all speak their free opinions about our products and also not denying any fault if there is any but rather keep everybody updated with the changes we are making on public forums. We understand that no matter what we do, we cannot make every single person happy or appreciate what we are trying to accomplish but it is OK. We will continue to do what we are doing for all those who are appreciate it and see the value behind it. There are NO delays due to any changes we made based on customer feedbacks as they are all taken care of already such as coil covers, tone sequence, 3-tone depth increase etc. And these were NOT any faults in the machine but rather changes we made based on testers' and customers feedbacks. The only fault we came across so far is the issue with the bolt which is being addressed. In my earlier post, I stated that we were planning to start shipping product the week of the 23rd. The date we start the shipments has not changed but: Our shipments are scheduled and planned according to the dates we receive the official purchase orders from our distributors around the world. We send products in order to be fair to all resellers so whoever places the official order first, gets the first shipment. And the first few shipments will go to Europe. Therefore, US shipment may be delayed 1-2 weeks. If all goes well, we are planning to make the shipment the week of March 2. Thank you all!

Hello... as the Gold Racer is still in the testing stage, I cannot share more information on it. Hope you understand and thank you for your patience.

Hello all! As you know, we made an announcement in December regarding Makro acquisition by Nokta. For those who read the announcement thoroughly, one advantage of this merger we pointed out was that ‘’we will not only offer a richer product portfolio to our customers but address the whole market demand with products at different price levels.’’. This requires us to position the current and future Makro and Nokta products in the market correctly. Taking into consideration the new Makro model ‘’Racer’’ that is being launched as well as the Nokta products that will be launched in 2015 and the years after, we need to make a revision in our FORS Gold/CoRe models. Below are the revised prices. MSRPs FORS Gold $699.00 FORS Gold PRO PACKAGE $999.00 FORS CoRe $699.00 FORS CoRe PRO PACKAGE $999.00 We really hope the new pricing will be appreciated by those who are interested in the machine. We also understand that this may upset some customers who recently purchased the device. The last thing we want is unhappy customers - one unhappy customer is too many for us so if you purchased the device within the last 30 days, please contact me at dilek@noktadetectors.com to get a price adjustment coupon that can be used towards your next Nokta purchase. Thank you all!

Hello all...as I will be out of the office for 1 week, I may not be able to respond to posts on time or miss some. I apologize in advance. I check my emails more easily so you can contact me at dilek@noktadetectors.com for any urgent assistance.

I really wish I could share that information but I really cannot at this point. It would not be right until the final testing stage is completed by the engineers and they give the go to the product. Hope you understand...

Hello! As the number of customers requesting a coil cover to be included in the RACER package content is increasing, we decided to add a coil cover for the 11''x7'' injection molded stock coil both in the standard and pro packages without any price change. The small coil in the pro package already comes with a removable cover.

Hello all.. we see a lot of comments regarding Makro RACER BT headphones and dongle so I wanted to clarify a few things: First of all, adding BT headphones was not an after-thought. From the concept stage of the product, adding wireless headphones capability to the machine existed. However, we had 2 options; making the module built-in to the machine or providing it in an external dongle. For us, both were equal in terms of engineering but it would make a difference in terms of the pricing. If we had the module built-in we had no choice but to add the cost to the machine which in return would increase the final retail price. As wireless headphones are not preferred by all users and it is a personal choice, we did not want somebody to pay extra for a feature they would not use so we decided to keep it as an optional feature. Second, the dongle provided is a Nokta/Makro developed dongle and it has been optimized and tested for use with the optional Philips BT headphones. Users may use alternative BT headphones but we cannot guarantee the performance as we have no way of testing all the BT headphones out there. Should you have more questions, please feel free to contact me at dilek@noktadetectors.com Thank you!!

Steve, what can I say? You are just great! As I was about to make the attempt to post the accessory prices, I see them posted here already... you just saved my time. By the way, need to clarify something regarding the BT module - yes it will be sold separately for people who want to buy the Philips headphones on their own or for people who have it already. It is true that the module will work with other BT headphones BUT we cannot guarantee the performance as the module was developed and tested for the Philips model we offer only. We have no way of testing it with all BT headphones out there.

Hello all...we see a lot of disappointment with the coils included in the RACER Pro package in other forums. Nokta and Makro is all about what the customers need because your satisfaction is our motivation. We are taking out the 10''X5'' coil from the pro package and replacing it with a 5''x4.5'' small coil. Hope this makes some of you guys happy. We will keep the 10''x5.5'' coil as an optional coil. This coil size will be the stock coil on the gold version that will be launched in a few months. Thank you!

Hello all...as we are getting many emails and messages inquiring about the Racer, we would like to give you a little bit more info. The device has 2 versions - Racer and Gold Racer. Racer is the coin & relic device and the Gold Racer is the prospecting one as the name implies. Racer will be launched first and Gold Racer will follow a few months after that. Racer runs on 14KHz. Gold version - waiting for the final testing stage. We will be visiting USA next week to meet our distributors and upon our return we are planning to launch the product. So we are expecting to start shipments early February if all goes smooth. Should there be any changes, I will definitely inform you. Thank you everybody! For the latest information on the Makro Racer and Makro Gold Racer visit More information on the Makro Racer and Makro Gold Racer

Before we even made the attempt, we saw that the pictures of the new RACER was posted on another forum already... oh well... power of internet.... anyway, no secrets... here you go... The new Makro RACER for those who are interested...

If you do not mind, let me answer that question as we are closer to the finalization of the project and see the test results. FORS is doing great for us and we are close to launching the Makro Racer. I definitely do not want to start another thread for a product that is still at the R&D stage :-)

The new Makro Racer will have the same performance -if not better in some circumstances - as the FORS delivered in a more elegant, and lighter design. It will come in a standard and a pro pack like the FORS but we are not including the large coil in the pro pack this time because most people prefer the medium and the small ones and we also want the pro pack to be at an affordable price point for most users. The large coil will be sold seperately. We will also have an optional bluetooth headphones available for the unit. This is all for now... please do not ask for more info because I am not supposed to be giving all this information but I cannot hold off on answering you guys when I see the posts :-)

Hello all. Just wanted to let you know that all Makro branded products including CF77 and the new waterproof Makro Pointer are currently distributed by Detector Electronics in MA.

I sincerely thank you for the nice compliments... If I were a shy person, I think I would have blushed reading your comments :-) To be honest with you, I do not think I am doing more than what my job entitles me to do. As the Sales & Marketing Manager at Nokta, I need to understand and hear firsthand from users what they need and what their issues are. When a customer in US or in any country buys our detector, we need to make sure that he/she will feel confident that we are there for him/her and not worry about the physical distance in between. And forums are the best way in achieving this goal so I must also thank you and all the members of this forum in that sense for welcoming us on your forum. Enjoy your birthday and the rest of Christmas day! You and everybody else...

Thank you Steve... yes Santa was born in Turkey as well as the detector he is holding in his hand :-) I just sent you an email regarding this detector and I apologize to everybody on this forum because I just cannot share it with the other members - just yet. All I can say is that this detector will be launched under our MAKRO brand.

ENJOY EVERYBODY!

Dear Valued Customers: Based on customer feedbacks, we are making a few updates on our FORS Gold and CoRe models: 1. The menu rocker switches are being changed to membrane buttons. The new version will go into production the first week of January. 2. We are changing the on/off switch to a waterproof one. The new version will go into production the first week of January. Thank you!!

Hello Bob! We actually do include US adapters in our packages....did you buy one and it had no adapter? If that is the case, I am sorry and we can rush one out to you, no problem. Regarding the hats - now that is funny :-) I will discuss that with my purchasing department.. Yes, the acquisition will definitely bring out good results - especially for the end users. Thanks!

Our R&D will do their best to make your wish come true - this is a promise.
