Steve Herschbach Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I thought the theory was that white is less prone to getting hot in extreme sunlight. There is an expansion/contraction coefficient to deal with that can affect coil performance and white coils are less prone to that issue? That is the theory I have heard but I still like black anyway. My F75 black I thought was one sharp looking detector and it is a relief that the Racer 2 that replaced it is black also!

auminesweeper Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I heard that too and always believed it to be so, even miner john has that posted on his site for the white Aussie Razorback/Longreach coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argyle Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yep, heard that about the white/black coil thing. Just never bought into it. I thought it'd be so miniscule even over extended periods of use. Then again, Rohan popped the air-release button on the new range of Evo's so there's gotta be something in it. No glare under sunlight/torch with the darker shade coils...and they clean down better when you detail the unit. Although most guys wouldn't knock the dust off in the lifetime of the coil/detector.

auminesweeper Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Well I tend to believe it because I use to have a Black MAD MAX Falcon with black tinted window and in the summer that car was murder, But it was fun to drive, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
argyle Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Yeah but that's square yardage of metal under the sun, not a pound of plastic and gell. Then again, you probably would have had four hot sheila's in the car with you John... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auminesweeper Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Lol, just the odd one or two or ?? mmm I like black detectors too but in the summer never pick it up by the shaft coz they get real hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMES MC LERNON Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Was thinking. Maybe someone who khows what they are doing, could put together a diagram or chart of sorts showing the differences of all these machines. I don't mean a features comparison, I'm thinking task suitability. I have in my head a suitable diagram which would show the effect of how suitable/strong each detector would be operating in different enviroments, or detecting tasks, e.g. fine gold/nuggets/coin & relic/dry beach /wet beach etc. I have no clue how to produce it on a computer, but i could draw it out on paper, scan it on to here, then it could be be printed out modified/updated/rehashed more accurately by whoever, (steve?) and rescanned back in. OR, someone with a computer brain bigger than mine could make up a proper digital chart! It could be for any/all detectors not just MAKRO/NOKTA Any takers??? thanks jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhaseTech Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 When I worked at Minelab one of my jobs was to put the star ratings next to the detectors for different tasks. I really hated it because there is always so many variables! Like if a category is: Jewellery Detecting. I always had a million questions: Dry sand, wet sand, fine jewellery, large jewellery etc etc Pretty sure it was used on the back of the Product Catalog - not sure if that ever lived on the website somewhere?? Pretty sure I've seen similar charts from other manufactures too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
