Racer Tiger coil review

Davethejunky

TROLL #2
Received my Tiger coil today and have my preliminary findings to share.

Feels nice, good weight and balance. Coli cover seems a little cheap and brittle. Cable is strong but not the quality of the stock coil. As far as air depth I am going to save a lot of typing and tell you that across the board it has an increase in depth of about 2 inches over the stock coil. I was impressed though that the smaller (Half Dime, Silver 3 center) were about 3 inches deeper. This was in both 2 and 3 tone.

The more I turned sens up it became chattier than the stock at the same setting but it is more sensitive.

Separation is all they say. I put 3 16 penny nails down and alternated a quarter, dime, and nickel with them and got 6 clear and separate signals (Low and high tones) in 2 and 3 tone. No matter how fast I swung. Then I put the coins under the ends of the nails (Touching the coins) and the same result... Awesome.

But as I raised the height of the coil the tones started to blend but were still separate for the most part. If I went slower they were really good. So on deeper targets it would be best to go slow.

Over all I like the coil and will love to see it in action, but I have a really good deal on an e-trac and may sell my Racer and all it's goodies to pay for it (Wife's request) LOL. If you need to know anything else let me know.
 
Thanks Dave, I ordered one today hopefully the R2 will get here about the same time as the coil arrives.

The one I ordered for the Omega does work on the G2 I have. Pulled an IH out of some iron at 7-8" with a loud clear signal with the G2. ID was 77-78 as opposed to the 81 I have seen with the Tek 5x10 coil. Although it did work it must be off a little as on the beach it ground balances at 87-88 with 4 bars whereas the Tek coils show no bars and GB in the upper 70's to low 80's.

I'm gonna get out with it this weekend to some permissions I have on a few old homes. May do a vid on the hunt and results.

I'd love to see such a video, and I'm sure many others would too. Thanks in advance if you make one.

And does anyone know of any sources for those of us in the U.S. to obtain the Tiger (or other sizes)?
Last time I checked, it wasn't available here yet through U.S. dealers. Has that changed?
 
No official word but according to MarsMD wedsite someone in the US has placed an order. Rumored to be Kellyco but just that a rumor.

I got one from the UK and ordered the Makro Tiger from Russia as the UK Dealer is out of stock.
