Mosty Sunny And Gold Racer Detecting


Recommended Posts

Hello

It was finally a decent day today with some sun. So I made it out to a spot not far from home to field test the new Makro gold racer.
This detecting place has pretty hot mineralization. It ground balances between 85-89. I ran the Racer in all metal. I kept the sensitivity at default 65 setting. The ground has quite a few hot rocks and the racer wavered a little. So I increased isat up to 8-9 and the wavering after going over any hot rocks was quickly remedied. It does run quite smooth in all metal for a pretty hot area. With isat it retunes quickly and dont miss a beat. The signals even deeper or small were easy to hear. This detector is very strong on tiny targets. I didnt try audio boost. But I had no problems hearing the signals.
It stays ground balanced good and I had no issues with bump sensitivity.
I didnt have alot of field time today, but the Racer was very comfortable in that time. I only tried the 10x5 dd coil, but I will have to try other size coils one of these trips out. Gold racer found about 50-60 pieces of lead. But did manage to find some nice gold too. First time out with gold racer found 2.4 dwt for the day. It is definitely a good gold hunter. The gold racer was a nice surprise.
Thats it till next time
Good luck

I have a few videos I will post also

Nice finds, and thanks for the links to your live-action youtube videos! Nicely done, and thanks for the streaming dialogue about target sounds, etc.

 

It's nice to have another field update on the Racer.

 

All the best,

CAgold,

 

I guess i am going to have to rig my camera up on my shaft--- like yours--

 

I used a go pro on my 3500 with a bicycle handlebar mount--it worked ok but i would like to be able to twist it at least 90 def to the left so i can film digging better--- i always lay my detector down on my right side and keep the coil away from the hole--that puts a straight mounted camera looking into the wild blue yonder.......

 

I have some time off so i will  get that done---
