I received my Racer 2 on Monday and today Monte and I had a chance to hit an old spot. Monte started off the day with a nice 1907 IH, he then got a GF 5 cents Trade Token from Harts Place. Then he snagged a nice pendent with a leaf design in the middle.
At this point I found a few artifacts and doodads and was starting to get concerned about my new Racer 2. Finally I found a early teens wheatie ( couldn't read last # in the date) then a nice 1911 Wheatie and a "Bull Durham" pendent along with the other doodads. Was feeling a little better. because of the amount of iron/trash present at this site I used the "oor" coil.
We then drove to a second sight and not having near the iron as the first site, i tried the new 7x11 coil for a bit, wasn't long , got a nice high tone, dug down with my digger several inches and out pops a nice 1898s Barber Half dollar. That gets the blood flowing, a little more so then a crusty wheatie lol and then about 10 mins later another high tone. Snagged a nice " Good For One Drink" Token from OK Saloon Wallua, Wash.
Well gotta say, the Racer 2 is a keeper. didn't hit any ice bergs on the maiden voyage. It was a good/fun day for Monte and I and we hope to get back out there soon.
My settings were: 3 tone, Gain 85, ID Filter 3, Notch Filter N/A, Iron Audio 2, Tone break at 10 & 65 ( at Montes suggestion I lowered the high tone break to 65, that way it will put most types of pennies into the High tone.)
