Anyone using a Makro Kruzer?

[GlenOK]

Thanks for that info Cal. Kinda makes the Kruzer 2 Machines in 1. Very fast in 3 tone and very deep in 4 tone.

....but the Multi Kruzer is my least favorite machine of the Nokta/Makro machines.

It might be just my machine but in my opinion, the three tone selection doesn't get the depth the other selections will provide...

3 tone mode on the MMK if set to sensitivity of 89 or lower will not have the depth of the other search modes as you've observed, and there's a good reason for this. Makro (now Nokta) set up the 3-tone mode with a hyper reactivity speed with sens 89 or lower so you can work in heavy iron where depth isn't the goal, but by speeding up the reactivity (at the expense of depth) will provide superb target separation and speed. 3-tone is also much more EMI resistant. Personally I prefer 4-tone, sensitivity in the high 90's with almost zero disc and iron audio set @ 1, it's been a killer combo at my worked out relic sites and I've dug some extremely deep coins that Explorers, F75, and other top notch detectors walked right over, like a 10"+ Spanish 1700's reale, and 10"+ deep seated dimes. Yes you're working in the noise, but that's where iron audio comes in and all the other tools they provided to tweak the audio to reduce audio fatigue.

Although I am down to only four detectors, I really only use two machines now, the Multi Kruzer and the Equinox 800, nothing I cannot hunt between the two of these detectors

How much faster of a recovery speed is really needed ? The original red racer with an oor coil can literally separate multiple targets without trying to move the coil at all. I really like the iron volume control that the red racer doesn't have and the tones are better. I Have 11 machines but am thinking of selling most of them off as I basically only hunt the 4 Makro machines and the XP deus. I could only do with the Anfibio but I like to use the older racers, it is humbling to see how far they came from the original red racer. This company listened to the people and they've made great changes and still kept or improved on the performance that it evolved from. When you have people so driven , like Dilek has been for them, it put them above the rest of the competition.And to think I don't think of myself as being a Makro fanboy.....

I moved from a Sovereign GT to a Multi Kruzer.
Now that is a complete change in machine audio and behavior.
I knew what to expect from 3 to 4 tone behavior and a sparky silent search machine vs a smooth running machine.
Plain and simple I was finding stuff my Sovereign GT missed for all these years.
I have some find with the Multi Kruzer on my FB group page.

You can introduce your's to mine in a couple of weeks.

Tom. glad to hear you're going to make it over to the next outing. Look forward to seeing you in a few weeks.

Hi, I'm using the Anfibio af28 coil on the Kruzer. It has turned my machine into a beast! Awesome coil and a must have!! Can't say enough about this combo. More depth and crazy separation. Better balance all round. Goes deeper then my equinox 800! You won't be disapointed.

My favorite is 2 tone too! I use deep mode @ 5khz for deep silver with the Anfibio coil. Holy cow it goes deep!! But obviously I only use this mode in less trashy areas.
