    R2 Relic Settings Advice

    I'm still learning the Racer 2 and, so far, have only used it on sites with heavy iron infestation with the NEL Snake coil. I've been quite pleased with its performance in the iron. But I hope to get out Thursday to one of my Civil War sites. Open fields, VERY little iron and VERY little modern...

    Makro Racer 2 Scores Confederate Relics!

    I've had my new R2 out 3 times now. I'm still learning but I'm quite impressed thus far. I REALLY love the ease of changing modes - very helpful on iffy signals. Anyway, the most recent trip took me to one of my favorite sites. I was using the NEL Snake coil on the R2. I've found a number of...

    First Date With My New Racer 2

    Took my new Racer 2 out for the first time yesterday for about an hour. This was just a very short "get acquainted" session. I'm impressed. I went to a site that's been pretty heavily hunted. It's an old farm/homeplace that dates to the late 1700's. It has been (until very recently) occupied...

    She's Here!

    Thanks again to Heath Jones at Treasure Mountain Metal Detectors for a great deal on a trade and for getting the R2 to me so quickly! I also ordered a Nel Snake for the R2. I'm really looking forward to revisiting some old (and new) sites to see what the R2 can do. That will have to wait a while...

    Makro Racer 2 Coil Options

    Hey folks. I've got a Makro Racer 2 pro package on the way. I know it comes with the 11" x 7" coil and the 5" DD coil but I've read there are other coil options that might work better in some situations. So I was considering adding one of the following 3: The Cors Shrew 6.5" x 3.5". The NEL 9.5"...

    Choices, choices

    Time for a new tool. I'm having difficulty deciding between the Makro Racer 2, the Nokta Impact (concerned about the weight) and the new Garrett AT Max. I own 2 AT Pros and love them. I also own a Nokta Fors Relic but not all that impressed (yet), but I've only had it out 4 times. Leaning toward...

    Impact and EMI

    I'm considering selling my XP Deus and purchasing an Impact. The Deus and I never have hit it off. I'm not knocking it. I love the weight and compactness of the unit and have made some decent finds with it. But it just doesn't separate like I thought it would and I haven't been all that...

    Makro Racer 2 or Nokta Relic?

    Love the great info everyone shares here! I am trying to decide between purchasing the Nokta Relic or the Makro Racer 2. I currently own 5 detectors: one old (but good condition) Fisher 1266X (for sale), a Teknetics T2SE (also for sale), 2 Garrett AT Pros and an XP Deus. I hunt primarily in...

    Help - First Hunt With The XP DEUS

    Well, the man in the brown truck just left an XP DEUS for me. I hope to take it out for a trial run in the morning. I'd like some advice on settings. I'm going to be hunting a small courtyard at a colonial homesite in VA's Shenandoah Valley. I've pounded this little area with the MXT Pro, the AT...

    Beach settings . . .??

    Hey folks, I'm headed to VA Beach this week for some business and much needed R & R. What advice can some of you give me on preferred settings, techniques? I've only had my AT Pro for about a month. Thanks!

    Advice On Settings?

    Hey folks - just got an AT Pro yesterday and hope to give it a test drive tomorrow. I would greatly appreciate some advice on settings: 1. - What's best for general CW relic hunting? Some iron present, but not a whole lot. 2. - What about old homesteads - coins, and misc. items where a lot of...

    Bronze Buckle - Colonial?

    I dug this buckle last week at a farm site here in the Shenandoah Valley. I've previously dug an 18th century ax head at this site. Anyway, can anyone shed some light on type/period of this buckle? 2" x 1.25" (approx.) It's relatively thin for a buckle. Also, has two words on the underside of...

    Teknetics

    Howdy. I'm new here. I'm considering purchasing either a T2 or G2 to compliment my White's MXT Pro. I live and hunt in the Shenandoah Valley and mostly hunt farm fields near CW battlefields. I also hunt old (colonial and CW era) home sites. What do y'all think? Anyone own both an MXT and a...
