Wow they were my favorite phones by far. I had 3 pairs of them wish I never sold them I just thought I'd be able to get a newer pair when needed then realized they were nowhere to be found. Hey does anyone have a set for sale? Thanks John

I really miss the RAT phones I had sounded great on many machines, those phones with an explorer where exceptional for me. Why they stop making them?

This is my absolute favorite forum. It's full of serious cutting edge detectorists and I'm very greatful for it. Thanks Tom. And thanks to all the pros on here for all the videos and explaining of the different machines abilities.
I was also thinking about the FBS technology and think it's only in its infancy of where it could/will go. Obviously they don't respond to small

I think an expanded disc range would be a start say from 0-200. I also think with the technology today/future we could transmit and receive multiple frequencies together and filter them by conductivity/ferrous/alloy content we'd have much tighter disc. there's no alumninum alloyed with gold so if the machine could process all this info and eliminate aluminum altogether that would be a g

I never look at depth guage I just go by audio also. I'm very excited about Nokta/Makro I've never seen a company so in tune with its customers in the design phase of a product. This is really exciting times for the detector market.

Wow very impressive to say the least. What kind of depth you getting at 80 sensitivity with small coil. I Can't wait to go back over my old sites that produced early 1800s silver and reales when I get my fors.

The racer is sounding very interesting can't wait for the specs. Hope it's a depth monster. These higher frequency machines seem to punch deep. Which gets me to thinking that if someone made a dual/multifrequency machine running on say 20-25khz that could handle salt sand they'd have a killer beach machine for those elusive gold chains that we all know are there but the available d

I can't wait to try this machine out. My hats off to nokta/makro for interacting with us and building the detectors we need of the highest quailty. I'm still gonna purchase a fors core when the newer models with membrane pad come out. I know we're gonna see some great machines coming from this company.

WOW!! Really nice machine. Nokta/makro got the pedal to the metal gonna be leaving a lot of detectors in the dust with the quality/ performance of there machines. And superior customer service. I'm in! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these machines.

I just noticed on the nokta fors core they changed the rocker switches with touch pad switches. I'm really liking what I see/hear about nokta.

This is gonna be my next machine just gotta decide which coil I want with it. I'm mainly going to use it in an old corn field that's produced a lot of silver coins from half reales to half dollars one lucky guy I know of pulled a $5 gold coin out of this field. I'm hoping the extra depth makes this field new again. And maybe I'll find an elusive gold coin myself. thanks for

Has anyone tested these detectors for depth comparisons? I'm getting back into detecting after a little time off and miss the deus I had (9" coil ) but maybe wanna try something different. Any help is appreciated thanks John

I really think this company deserves a very watchful eye from detectorist. They really seem to be making some quailty detectors with the options we want. I'm very interested in their detectors and will get the T72 as soon as funds allow.
Thanks for posting Keith. Your unbiased reviews are greatly appreciated.

Ok I did some more reasesrch and from what I'm gathering it seems like the quality issues weren't quailty issues but an at pro/at gold coil incompatibility with the nel coils, giving erratic operation when used on non specified machine. Thanks for the help I'm gonna get the nel storm coil for my at pro.

I'm looking to get a bigger coil for my at pro for depth but not sure which one to get. Was thinking about the nel storm coil but heard about quality issues with them. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks HH

Well actually I was gonna suprise my boyfriend and get him a new machine. He's been detecting for 20 yrs and mostly used the explorer and excalibur he got me into beach and park detecting 4 yrs ago He got rid of all his site specific machines before I met him because his old sites were no longer accessible. But now my parents bought 200 acres in upstate ny that has a little history to it a
