Day before yesterday it was nice and pleasant, except for the wind, and I grabbed the FORS CoRe with the standard 7X11 DD coil, figuring it would be nice to work a bit of our local park and sandy beach. Recovered the usual lost clad coins and occasional pull tabs, but also picked up a gently used '59 Roosevelt dime. I prefer older coins, but silver is silver and I was glad to get it.
The dad-blasted smaller coil is easy to learn to enjoy that I kept it on my Racer and changed out the smaller coil to mount the standard coil on the FORS CoRe for a quick-grab for more open area hunting. Heading out shortly to hit some renovation and enjoy some 78° weather this afternoon at a site a little over an hours drive away.
I hope other FORS users have huntable weather to enjoy as well. I notice things have been a little slow on the forums, in general, and with the separate Nokta and Makro Forums is seems the racer's release and kind of slowed down the Nokta Forum activity. I encourage Nokta users to get out and get active and add to Forum activity.
I love my Makro Racer and it often gets grabbed first at a site, mainly due to the smaller mounted coil, but with better weather and the appeal of more open areas to search, such as our local beach and grassy parks, I know the FORS CoRe and I will be getting in more search time. A guy I know was asking me about detectors I plan to use this year for my ghost towns and other old site hunting and I showed him what, and why and how they achieved favorite status. He thought the FORS CoRe looked heavy and awkward compared with his detectors ... until I let his use it down at the park and beach when I was there last. I almost had to pry it out of his hands! It's funny how things might appear to us, but are much different when we handle them.
Best of success to all who get out detecting today.
