Was that the pro package? Everything in 1 box, sweet. I couldn't understand if you said it was or not the pro pack?

Didnt see a stock 11x7" coil cover supplied with the detector?

I dislike red and still looks impressive. Now if they only had a deep royal blue colored one. lol

Wow, look at that detection depth this baby has..grinning smiley

Considering how well it hit the 13 inch low conductivity Nickel I think it will be a hit with us over here in Europe, does it have any sort of iron audio?

Keith I'd love to see you use the all metal mode on those coins.

Good job on the videos Keith. Thanks for keeping us informed on what's going on with the Red Racer!

Wouldn't say I'm blown away with that performance, the F19 hit better on the 10" dime.

True Ziggy but the F19 gave no signal at all on the low conductivity Nickel where as the Racer slammed it, should be a deep hammered machine!

Early days and looking forward to the field tests and thoughts.

Looked like a great start Keith. Thanks!

I really like the look. Can't wait to see the small coil in action.

Hey Keith---thanks for the videos.-----Does the BT wireless h.p.'s , dongle & Makro pin pointer come with the Racer Pro pack or did you have to buy them as optional (extra) equipment?

Hi,,I'm impressed the way it hits that gold coin at 22" and the three cent piece depth was phenomenal....JJ

Cool little toy there Keith ;-)

Gotta see some real world testing and hear some thoughts on it after you use it for a while.

Looks like a great low conductor unit.
Heres a Night shot of the Screen and Control Cursor

you can choose to have the screen only light when changes are made or when a target I.D. comes up..

or have it stay on till you turn it off..

The Control Cursor is rubber and very tactile...

Thanks for the videos and information Keith. I know you're chomping at the bit to put in the field. And I'm sure the CoRe unit will be close by. I will stay tuned for further announcements.
got in a 3 hour run with it in a hard hit site
February 07, 2015 01:25AM
Really no earth shattering finds but did make a few non ferrous finds in the iron....

The Machine is slightly hotter than my CoRe unit...in the dirt and in airtesting...

At times I have to back of the Sens more than the CoRe has to...

Heres what needs to be understoof onthe Racer...and also the CoRe...

Both machines are very powerful...I have not talked alot about the power since alot fo people dont ahve a CoRe...but with the amount of people looking to get the Racer...please be aware your getting a very powerful metal detector.We asked for it now we have it...the thing is how many people will appreciate it?...I Know I do..At times you will have to Know when to tame it down..

Well done Keith!!!!!! I liked the way that it was wanting to hit that 13 inch nickel!!!! And the 10 inch dime. That looks like a machine to be reckoned with!!!! Good luck on you hunts!!!!!! And thanks for uploading these vids for us to see. I can done tell that I'm gonna have to have one!!! A man could swing that unit all day long!!!!! Very much appreciate the vids!!!!!!

Keith

is there a brightness control??

I LOVE the idea of having it only kick on when a target is detected/ID'ed

but

it would be icing on the cake if the brightness can be turned up/down to ones preference?
Re: My Racer unpacking Video & inital testing Video
February 07, 2015 03:02AM
thanks Keith, I'm real interested in how the 2-tone VCO compares to the G2 (or GB or F19) audio....same blatt below 40? it does sound like a lot more (usable?) power though....

in field comparisons should be interesting. you're in a very enviable position right now, have fun with it....
Re: My Racer unpacking Video & inital testing Video
February 07, 2015 03:17AM
Keith,you have any small gold nuggets? Like around a grain? Interested in how it responds,especially in dirt. Not sure when gold racer is gonna be released. Ray

Keith, what is that little circle below the 90? Any settings that are new, or different, or a surprise?
Re: My Racer unpacking Video & inital testing Video
February 07, 2015 03:49AM
That would be like the F.e meter on a F75 T2...

its the magnetic strength...its 8 levels...

No Ray I dont have a nugget...do have the bic pen LOL!!!

Keith
control brightness?
February 07, 2015 05:41AM
Yes you can control the brightness. You can go to the makro website and download the user manual. It goes through all the settings.

AT Max, Nokta Impact, MX Sport, Nokta FORS Relic, GPX 4800, Infinium, Racer, Deus, F75SE, Nautilus DMC II (order of acquisition, last to first)

I don't watch detecting videos, but I often make an exception for Keith's. Thanks for sharing!
