Keith, looks like the Fors Core fits you hand pretty good. What coil were you using? Fantastic recovery
I think it may be a Church Pin....but I am not sure

XP has lowered the price of the Base Deus under a $1000...... Wonder why? Maybe other units getting too much attention..... I love it!!!

LAURENS, S.C. — Authorities say the body of an amateur gold miner was found in a Laurens County home among toxic chemicals that could be explosive.
Multiple media outlets report the chemicals found at the scene Tuesday afternoon are used to separate gold from soil. The man's identity has not been released, but officials say he was known to dig for gold in the area. The home is located out

This is a fantastic package. Very clean detector. All you will need are batteries..........
Aaron is great to deal with also.
Actually I think the depth is better than the Deus.

Good call Bill.....
Just a note: and I am sure that Keith has said it several times, The soil where Keith has the 10" dime is not the best soil to detect in.
I see a lot better d

I like the coil. Look at how beefy the center section looks. Looks like they have about everything covered. I wonder if it has iron volume? Ever since I first tried the GMP, that is something that I really like.

When I purchased the Fors Core, I had a Deus and a CTX 3030. After two weeks using the Fors, I sold the Deus, After a few more weeks and seeing the depth of the Fors , I sold the CTX 3030. Now I had enough money to purchase the Makro CF77, F75 LTD2, The Makro pinpointer and I may have enough left to get the Racer and a good lunch.
On a side note: The CTX3030 is one of the best machines I have

I believe that XP with the Deus has started a new wave of product roll out. I see in the near future a BARE Bones machine being sold at a very good price. But it will be a dumb machine. The cost will then be in the programming.
I do not think that upgrades via the internet will be the way to go. It will require a device such as a smart card. This would cost the company very little, be easy to pr

I have the Core, I am waiting on the CF77 to arrive and I will also purchase the Racer. Once they all are in hand, I will test each and decide which is best for my type of hunting. Then let the rest go to a new home.

My dealer sells Makro detectors. He said he would see what he could find out and let me know. It may take him a while cause he is a backwoods guy.
I will share anything that I find out.

Keith said "You Know what i relly like about it..the color scheme...it reminds me of the Turbo TEK in the 21st century.. "
That was my thoughts at first also.
Almost looks like it may be moisture proof with the headphone cap.
I would like to see some specs on it.
I may have to trade my new CF77 back in and try one out. But I will wait to know more for sure.

I wished they would work on the pinpoint depth. It is setup for a 1" coin in soil over there. I have several read a lot deeper than they actually are. But sometimes this make me happy because I did not want to dig that deep anyway.
Now I just do the coil wiggle, and dont even pinpoint... saves a lot of time....

Steve, I follow your post at the other forums. Glad to see you still come by. I am looking for new things to come out of Nokta in the near future. They seem to be on the right track.....

Jack, I have had mine for a while now. I started like you talking about what the detector could do and what great service Nokta gives, Now I just keep it to myself.......lol

My F75 seems to mirror all test that Keith has shown. I get a nickel to warble the threshold at a measured 22". It may be more but my hearing is not what is was. A set of headphones may help me but I did not use them for my test.
Unit runs very smooth and quiet. In my test garden, which is 4 years old, I can hit all targets up to 12" with all metal. In Disc, I can hit up to the 10&qu

Keith, mine arrived today. I hope to get out this weekend and try it out. I am looking forward to trying the small coil in a very junky area.
Thanks for the video

You are correct about the Core. It is a true sleeper unit. Go back to the sites that you think are hunted out. You may be surprised..........
