Steve,

I have held off on buying the Nokta Fors Gold in anticipation of the Macro Racer Gold.  Which do you think will be the superior machine?  Will the Macro Racer Gold be a lighter repackaged Nokta Fors Gold?  

Also,  how sensitive is the handle vibration?  Will the smallest bird shot set it off?  Does this vibration happen with a false?

I have been learning a tremendous amount from all the great content on this site.

Thanks,

Rick

Here is the youtube that explains the vibration well

The FORS CoRe has General (All Metal), DI2 (Discriminate Two Tones), DI3 (Discriminate Three Tones), and COG (COnductive Ground - Beach Mode).

The FORS Gold has General, BST (Boost, but just another version of DI2 two tone discriminate as described in the first post), and DI3. There is no COG mode on the FORS Gold, instead you get the mono tone option in DI2 (BST) as described in the first post.

You are the MAN STEVE! I read your post a few times last night and I went with the Fores Core, I ordered it today! They said it might 2 weeks because I'm second in line

But thanks again appreciate it

I was reading on the Nokta website, it says the Fors gold has a Boost mode "BST" wich finds deeper gold without hot rocks, instead of "COG" Conductive Ground mode. Is this the same thing? I am planing on ordering one this week.

Thanks for all the information you post its really helpful
