    Makro Racer 9.5" x 5" DD RC24 Coil En Route !!

    Taking the Racer2 to Nevada next month with the new RC24 Makro Racer 9.5" x 5" DD coil to test out. Will be interesting to see how it does compared to the stock 11" DD coil, will it dethrone the awesome 10" closed elliptical DD coil ? Doubtful.

    Impact Coil Connector Issue

    A friend and I just returned from a three day trip to the desert to detect several stage stop type sites we spent numerous hours researching to uncover their previously lost locations. We found a total of five sites. The first site had sever overgrowth issues, we detected it for a few hours...

    Ghost Town Trip with Impact :thumbup:

    I went on the annual Memorial Day ghost town rendezvous whereas treasure hunters from all over the west (Oregon, California, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, etc) meet up for a fun filled, adventure packed long weekend of thrill seeking and treasure hunting of various types, mainly detecting and...

    First hunt of 2017, killer wheat to silver ratio!

    Went detecting after work Friday with a couple of buddies and it was a punishing site. I dug 12 wheaties and only one silver coin! Got a bunch of the usual clad, and other junk, one old clay marble. Also got a neat little tag that says "If Found Return to Roos Bros. San Francisco, Calif"...

    Racer2 / Impact wireless headphones?

    I contacted the two main U.S. Makro distributors (KellyCo and metaldetectors.com) to inquire as to availability on the Racer2 wireless headphones and neither one had an ETA. Dilek can you shed some light as to when they'll be coming to the U.S.? Also I know in the past you indicated they...

    Western Frontier BIG Silver & Relics :detecting:

    I'd planned a small detecting trip with Tom this weekend, and he bailed on me at the last minute....so, knowing that it'd likely be the last chance I'd get before the end of the year due to future commitments (work, holidays, etc), I went solo :detecting: Back to the Western Frontier site that...

    Racer 2 Scores Silver, Indians, V's :detecting:

    Finds are starting to thin out at a site some friends and I have been working. These finds represent my last three hunts there. On one hunt I got 11 old coins, but not a single one was silver. Managed to find an 1892 barber dime, and a 1904 Hong Kong silver half dime. Also got an 1883...

    Racer2 Audio Tones

    I was testing out the adjustable audio tone feature on my R2 this afternoon, and ended up setting the low tone at 10, the mid tone left at the default of 33 and the high tone moved to 70. Did some testing with various targets and I think it'll really work well, should be interesting to see how...

    Makro what's the latest on the Racer2 Wireless headphones?

    I'd sure like to get a set, but would like to make sure the audio snafu is resolved first? Can you please let us know if it's been resolved and when they're heading to the U.S.? Thanks! Brian

    Silver Dime Tri-fecta, loads of Barbers, Tokens, Indians :thumbup:

    Got out this morning with the Racer2 for a pretty productive hunt. Ended up with three Barber dimes (that may be a record for a single hunt for me), dates are 1893S, 1906S & 1914D. Also got two Indian heads, 1895 & 1898, two mercs 1918 & 1923, seven wheaties...

    Anyone running the NEL Sharpshooter or CORS Fortune 9.5"x5.5” DD Search Coil ??

    If anyone's running the NEL Sharpshooter or CORS Fortune 9.5"x5.5” DD Search Coil on their Racer (they're the same coil), I'd really like to know how it's working out? I have the Makro factory 10" coil, but I'm looking for something a bit more EMI resistant (without having the dial down the...

    Racer2 finds bucket lister :thumbup:

    Did some detecting this morning with my Racer2. Any time I'm able to get out anymore is great, and this hunt was (so I thought) shaping up to be an average hunt. I found six wheaties (1913S, 1923S, 1939S, 1941S, 1942S, and a no date), two Indian heads (1881 & 1905), a buffalo (1937), a toasted...

    Latest digs including historic Pacific Mail Steam Ship Company button.

    Got a hunt in this week and got a merc, silver rosie, two toasted buffalos and toasted V nickle along with a 1909 (dagnabit no S or VDB :rage: ), some marbles, but the neatest find was a two piece button (Scovill backmark) from the Pacific Mail Steam Ship Company (PMSSC). The Pacific Mail...

    Old gold, silver, 1896 SF Dog License, & tokens :)

    Got out a couple of times this past week, and I did pretty well. Scored an old gold ring with a small diamond, a Barber quarter, and a couple of really cool relics. One of my favorite finds of the year is something that's been on my bucket list for a while, been hoping to dig a pre-1900 dog...

    Racer2 Headphone Jack Failing :thumbdown:

    Was detecting a ghost town on July 4th, and I thought my headphones failed on me. This morning I tried several other sets and the results were all the same, sometimes I got sound and sometimes not. What's odd is that it doesn't really cut out like a loose wire or whatnot usually does, it just...

    RACER2 TONE BREAK & IRON AUDIO

    Now that the Racer2's been out for a while and folks have had an opportunity to use it and test out the various settings, I'm curious to hear how folks are using the tone break and iron audio settings and how it's working for them? I set mine up when I first got it in 3-tone, gain as high as I...

    Racer2 Wireless headphones compatible with Impact?

    This question is directed towards the Nokta/Makro team, and it may be a bit premature, but I was curious if the new Racer2 wireless headphones would also work (in wireless mode) on the upcoming Impact? It would be great if I could share the headphones on multiple machines :thumbup: Thanks! Brian

    Back @ the Spanish Trail with the R2 & OOR Coil

    Sadly in just a couple of weeks the weeds have taken over, so I lost 75% of my hunting grounds :( I focused on the area that I last picked up a reale and a beautiful large Phoenix button from, and although the finds were sparse, it didn't disappoint! This was the total take, more or less...
