I appreciate the answer steve, and I know how seriously you take the subject of detecting, so I know you're not being facetious. 

let me make my question more specific, I'm up in gold country often, highbanking , I am also slowly learning to md for nuggets. I have done some research, I know of an area that was a gathering spot for miners during the glory days. I have a gmt,(thanks to info from your site)(many thanks for that), what detector would you swing in that situation, searching for coins from that era, and maybe relics?

You know, I would like to know more about coin machines(park hunters). What makes the good ones good, and what makes the great ones great.

Here ya go try doing it like this,

oh, thats how ya do it. thanks much.

guns and butter. both are tradeable.(and ammo)

ok thanks, sometimes it's the simple things. I'll fix it.

so having the cable on my gmt loosely wrapped around the shaft might cause a problem.

happy thanksgiving everybody

"Might be I did not have my cable wrapped tight enough so I am giving the benefit of the doubt until we see production units."

steve, can you explain this, I dont understand why cable tightness matters.

thanks for the review. I find myself more and more interested in the technical aspects of this sport and it's machines. your writings are the meat.

almost forgot, would you consider this a good choice for a one machine user? coin and jewelry hunting sometimes, nugget hunting other times. 50/50 ratio? what about 70/30 nugget/coin jewelry?

still here, but getting sleepy.

I can tell you this right now. If you are trying to detect the smallest gold no VLF running under 40 kHz is as hot as the Gold Racer. The question is more like, which would you rather have, a Gold Bug 2, a GMT, or a Gold Racer? Until we find out what it sells for however a critical part of the question cannot be answered.

and these discussions help us decide that question.

oh ok. but I"m sitting here all night and waiting!!!

oh and great post and pics ray. thanks for sharing

cool stuff. especially the second one.

when will the unit be available for sale? 

and steveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, we're waiting

• So which is the one to get, the Fors Gold  Plus or the Macro Gold Racer? prices? Be nice if you could run them both side by side...

thats a good question.

yay. this should be interesting.

thanks again, makes sense. like mowing a lawn.

thanks Steve, again, I learned something new. I would like to hear more about how you approach  hunting, as far as long term plans.

I've noticed the same thing, an absence of car horns. I love it up there, I always stay at the downieville river inn. A funny story, the handyman was replacing a bathroom floor in one of the guest houses, while the floor was out, my brother dug some of the soil and panned it, and found some gold.

it was raining in downieville when I left on sunday morning.

thanks for sharing the pics, very interesting stuff.

saw this and thought some might find it interesting.

interesting

Well it is legal for individuals to grow at home in California for their personal use. In turn, the weed market has pretty much dropped out here in California. But the Mexican cartels are growing here and taking the buds back east. They ruin our forrests with their trash, human waste, and commercial fertilizers they use to grow. Plus they are heavily armed. Without going into details, I've had a nice confrontation before. Don't go unarmed!

I second this, don't go unarmed.
