Core vs Relic Depth

Curious too. Hoping none of the great stuff from the core was sacrificed while adding extra features.

No change in the depth..as a matter of fact, we even added a deep mode that will provide more depth when used correctly.
The only things sacrificed were the vibration and the audio tone.
I will post a comparison table soon that will make it more clear.
 
What do you mean by audio tone?
I know your different modes have different tone sets, but not sure what you mean by audio tone change or sacrifice.
Thanks

Sorry to confuse you...we still have 3 tones - low - medium - high..what I meant was the setting for the audio frequencies.
 
Ahh ok. So no tone frequency shift then? I.e. can't pick different tone pitches like on the core?
 
The relics has all the CoRe modes plus more and ability to break the tone break while in tow tone and ability to break the 2nd to 3rd tone break in 3 tone..

The Relic is very powerful..

Maybe the most powerful tone detector many will have ever ran..


It kills Zinc and lower targets...

Its no slouch on High coins either but from Zinc type on down LOOK OUT..

For me it really like son to minnie balls...

Loves brass..

Works great in unmasking in iron ..For me its the Apex.NokMak unit for that ..

Very close to the same in the similar primary search modes: GEN [size=small](All Metal)[/size], Di2 [size=small](2-Tone)[/size], Di3 [size=small](3-Tone)[/size], and COG [size=small](Beach)[/size]. I worked the Relic prototypes against my personal FORS CoRe and in some side-by-side 'air test' comparisons, using similar-size search coils, they were very, very close. The FORS Relic, however, has two additional search modes, SWT [size=small](Swift)[/size], especially suited for trashier Coin Hunting applications, and DEP [size=small](Deep)[/size], a more powerful, deeper-seeking mode for sparse-target situations where added depth can be achieved.

There are 5 motion-based Discriminate modes, and other than the processed 3-Tone mode, all of them are a 2-Tone function with a VCO Audio enhancement.

Yes, you can shift the operating frequency should it be necessary to counter EMI, most frequently from another nearby detector.

However, the Relic has some added adjustment features, to include Iron Volume, Tone Break and iMask. Eliminated from the FORS Relic are Vibration and Audio Frequency. Don't confuse that with Frequency Adjustment or Shift.

Audio Frequency in the FORS CoRe gives the operator 5 different Tone Frequencies or Pitches to choose from. Those of us who worked with prototypes recommended a few little changes, and one was the Frequency because that isn't an operator-changeable function on the Relic. The most often used Audio Frequency, or Audio Tone, chosen by CoRe users is the '5' level audio. That is the Audio Frequency Tone of the FORS Relic, and it works excellent.

The 19 kHz Relic is simply one of the best all-purpose detectors on the market, and an absolute killer when it comes to unmasking good targets mixed in a densely iron littered debris field.

The FORS CoRe is still a great multi-purpose detector at 15 kHz and is quite capable of outclassing most of the competitors in any hunting environment, but get into some serious Relic Hunting challenges, especially when you're after a lot of low-to-mid conductive targets, and the Relic should be the model you choose.

Biased, yes, but that's because it works so well.

Thanks monte!!!
The relic is definitly my next detector.
I'm still fairly new and already have the three detectors listed below and haven't had much time with them.
I'm sock in the cash away now for the relic, but in the meantime I want to get some swinging time in with the three I have.
Didn't have many places to hunt because of getting kicked out of my local parks (no sign posted or ordinance that I could find, mind you). But I contacted the parks and receive depth from the city next to mine and got full permission to detect in all of their parks (30 or so I think!!) So once the weather breaks, I'll be swinging!!
Really want that relic!!!
Is it weird that I worry that if I get the relic, I won't use any of my other detectors? I know it's a weird fear, but I am worried about that lol.
