We have enjoyed most of the year since the very end of January and only had a few wintry days slip back in. We have had an early jump-start of spring-like weather and it has been enjoyable. I was only able to work the Multi-Kruzer in some typical urban Coin Hunting sites at first due to frozen ground and cold temperatures to deal with as I was getting to know what the Kruzer offered in features and performance that might have been different from the other detectors in my 'Team.'
It has one thing in common with the Racer 2 that I noticed right off, and that is being a bit nose-heavy and not as comfortable, for me and my crappy health, when using the stock 7X11 DD coil. More like the original Racer with the rod-mount closer to the rear. None-the-less, the Multi-Kruzer worked well and gave me confidence in it's performance abilities. I do know that most of the types of places I prefer to hunt, those that are land-based, are older-use locations that have a lot of annoying masking trash, especially iron-based junk.
I also know, from enjoying the Racer 2 and Impact with their 7" Concentric and 5" DD coils, those will be the two main search coils I want to get for a waterproof unit. Like everyone else, I am hoping to add the 5" DD and 7" Concentric for the Kruzer series to my equipment line soon. Those will be my most-used search coils, as they are with the Racer 2 and Impact. I set my Multi-Kruzer up with settings similar to a what I have for the Racer 2 and Impact as I am familiar with the performance those modes and settings provide.
I had used the stock 7X11 DD for my initial evaluation of the stock device, I was eager for better weather to arrive and looking for a site to check out the Kruzer other than typical urban parks and schools, etc., when I chanced across the guys demolishing an older, burned out house. I could see the lot was trashy and most of it overgrown with weeds, but when I got the 'OK' to hunt it, I knew I wanted to use a smaller-size coil. My Impact's 5X9½ DD open-frame coil was handy so I mounted it to the MMK and headed back down there.
My first three US coins, in less than 10 minutes, were a Wheat-Back Cent, a silver Roosevelt Dime and another Wheat-Back Cent. Since that start at the double lot I have visited it many time, and used the Multi-Kruzer along with other detectors I own, using comparable search coils and search modes, in order to get a good feel for this new model. All the cross-checking and use in various sites, urban and rural, have left me with but one word to say .... Impressive.
That word might get worn out in my vocabulary because I have been very impressed with the physical design and circuitry design of every Makro and Nokta product that has come my way. I've even bought a 2nd or 3rd device of three of the models ... and they all continue to provide me very welcome success in a wide-range of hunting environments. My experience with the Multi-Kruzer has been very satisfying.
