Hi thinking about getting a racer 2 ,just wondering if any one has used them on materialised ground and iron stone ground regards john
"iron bark" perhaps it's the

-speak that this

-speak guy doesn't understand, but I've been detecting for over fifty-one years and have never had ground just 'materialize' out of thin air, or dense air for that matter. Could it be that you mean
'mineralized' ground rather than 'materialized?'
I do not have all the same ground conditions you deal with, however where I live and hunt the most is in the Western USA, and I deal with very
mineralized ground and quite often a lot of irony hot rocks. Most of the old ghost towns and places I have worked this past decade or two have been gold mining towns, gold mining camps, or other places that have bad-ground challenges to deal with. If you note below my primary-use detectors, as well as my specialty-use back-up models, you will see that it includes the very reliable performers from Nokta [size=small]
(the Gold [sup]Plus[/sup], CoRe and some Relic units)[/size] and my Makro favorites [size=small]
(both Racer 2's and Gold Racer's)[/size].
They
would not be in my favorite detector arsenal if they couldn't handle some tough, day-to-day mineralization challenges. I encourage you to either buy a Racer 2 and needed coils, or at least visit a dealer who stocks the Racer 2 or meet up with an avid Racer 2 user to check them out.
