I just had to try a Racer and last night won a Pro Pack red Racer auction, new in box from a US dealer at a STEAL! I want it mostly for gold/micro jewelry at the beach, so decided against the more complex Racer2 for now. Although from what I see online the 2 does handle inland iron better.
I'm also interested in the DeepTech Vista Gold, which seems to have raw power/speed similar to the Racer. I saw 1 video online where the Vista Gold blew away a Fisher Gold Bug II on micro jewelry in the sand. Pretty impressive stuff! I also saw a video where the Racer hit hard on a gold chain in wet salt sand! I'm guessing the Vista Gold would not work well in wet salt sand, nor would the new Racer Gold perhaps? But it would be fun to compare the Racer and Vista Gold in dry sand on gold jewelry!
Are there any Racer owners here who own/have tried the Vista Gold? What say you?
