bado1 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Chris at AZO set me up with a Fors CoRe yesterday. Been eyeing one for a while. I took it out for a spin today. First, to a local modern park just to get familiar with it then to a 1870s era ghost town that is so trashy that it's hard to find a spot to ground balance. I am very impressed with it's recovery speed/target separation. It hits super hard on coins and really "locks" in on them leaving little doubt that there is a coin under the coil. I know I'm a late comer to the Nokta Fors party and everyone already knows all this so I'll just show the goodies I found today on the CoRe's maiden run... The coins are all modern and most were found in the park. The shell casings are .30WCF. Notice one has been pounded flat and the end folded over. It's got something in it as it rattles when I shake it. The casings and the little copper things near the casings were found in the ghost town. Looking forward to giving it a spin in the gold fields.

tvanwho Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 so, why the Core and not the Gold version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 so, why the Core and not the Gold version? According to Steve, The Core has the Salt Mode where as the Gold Doesn't,, But the are the same price which makes the Core A Better Deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bado1 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 What John said. The Core and the Gold are the same machine except that the Core has an additional "timing" called "conductive ground" that allows for hunting places with heavily mineralised soil, salt (beach), salt sand both for the same price. So, the Core is a better deal as you get an extra timing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvanwho Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 do they now come with a 5 x 10 coil as standard? I heard it was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bado1 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Not standard. The standard coil is something like 11"x7" DD. The "pro pack" comes with three coils...the 11x7, 15x11, and a 5.5" or something close to those measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
