Johnny English good luck mate. I gave my Racer 2 to my brother. I sold my Anfibio today too. I turned down a free Simplex off them. I can’t promote aTurkish brand no more. Not after Tyrkey went to war with the Kurds and freed ISIS. I’d like to delete all these videos but I won’t Cos I know some find them useful. Best of British to you mate.
I must be doing something wrong with the Makro Racer I am using, on tests, I put a coin in the ground and it really struggles to pick it up at anything below 5" in all metal mode, it will be very scratchy .. the deepest I have dug to is 4"...
I have tried various settings, tried all metal, two tone and three tone, adjusted other variables, tried the small coil and the larger coil and the only way the Racer gets a solid clear tone is when a coin is less than 4" in the ground, the ground is clean from any other metals.. any deeper and that coin is a scratchy signal, tried different coins, copper coins, 1 euro coin, 20p coin, etc
Simon Davidson I had the Kruzer out the other week to do a depth test. It was nowhere near as deep as my Racer 2 . But I reckon it was the ground . I tested the Racer 2 on clean ground but the Kruzer on very noisy ground . Try it on clean ground and if it still will only go 4 inches Email Makro and ask them for help and advice . Maybe there is a fault .
Thanks Steve, just got the Racer 2 after watching all your Videos on it all set up (hopefully😉) door knocking this weekend for my first permission so thanks for all the info! great vid's 👍 (Neil) Leicestershire
NPS Groundcare Good luck mate you live in a decent area for detecting . Rack your brains to think of any of your loved ones or friends may actually know someone connected to the land . Don’t forget to invite me and we can have a Racer 2 day 😊
Anglo Celtic Metal Detecting thanks yeah good idea, yeah the village i live in was recorded in the doomsday book also the street i live on has a church which dates back to 1043 so lots of history being quite rural lots of land surrounding me so fingers crossed! Will definitely give you a shout WHEN i secure a permission 👍
Nice one Steve, certainly goes deep, how is it on small silver, or gold, also how is the pinpointing on the Racer. might even sell my Etrac and go for the Racer 2 if its lighter as well. take care mate GL & HH Tom
Ha HA ! I own two Minelab Explorer II's and have found some very nice coins, relics, and jewelry with the machine. I Have resisted buying another Minelab machine the Etrac especially because they seem to have a "cult" following kinda' like them Druids ya' know? I just received my Makro Racer 2 from a seller in Turkey. So easy to set up and well balanced. I also got the wireless headphones to keep from stepping onto my cables. I have the Nel Snake & Tornado coils. Also the Mars Tiger coil for my two Makro Racers 1 & 2. I enjoy your videos and sense of humor. Thanks for helping out us Racer lovers. Peace.
how does this compare to the racer 1? have been given a good deal on a racer 1, wondered if i should save for the second racer if it performs better, cheers.
I had the Racer 1 . A decent machine , deep . Clumps a lot of the targets around the numbers 82-83 . Racer 2 has addressed that problem . It's got better build quality . It has a notch feature , menu save , iron audio and a few other features the R1 doesn't have . Overall a more refined machine but I did well with both of them mate . Good luck .
My makro racer 2 its coming today,thanks to you,good job!thank's for the help👍👍
