The 'Pro Package' adds some additional accessories, to include the smaller 4.[size=small]7[/size]X5.[size=small]2[/size] '

was just reading about my new fors core on a popular detector site....I noticed this paragraph
"The Coins and Relic Pro metal detector is the same as the standard model with important changes, electronics are more focused to lock on to silver, gold and clad coins and jewelry at greater depths than average detectors. Lost and buried relics including valuable coin caches are now within the reach of this metal detector due to the addition of a large 15 inch deeper penetrating searchcoil and a very sensitive 5 inch search coil for small coins and gold jewelry. This could be the only metal detector you might ever want to buy."
Is it a different detector in the standard and the pro pack?
Who made the statement and on what forum?
I have my FORS CoRe 'Pro Package' unit with the tactile switches that I've had since January. I also have a new Nokta FORS CoRe standard unit a fellow traded me, new-in-the-box, and they are identical in design and performance. There is no electronic difference between them to improve performance for gold, silver and clad coins and jewelry. That statement is in error.
It is correct. however, that by design this detector does quite well attaining depth of detection, and the larger search coil can enhance that depth in a sparse target location or for going after larger-size target. Then there's that little '
OOR' coil. That's the most important addition to the "Pro Package" with the FORS or Racer because it work so well in a dense trash environment and fits well in a dense brush condition, between rocks, and in and around building rubble. Work the detector with a nice slow sweep to pick the good stuff from the trash and the FORS is simply deadly. It's a combination of the excellent circuitry design coupled with the wonderful small coil.
So, while the statement started with an incorrect reference to a FORS CoRe being "enhanced" in the Pro Package, the statement does conclude with a very correct ending ... "
This could be the only metal detector you might ever want to buy." I can guarantee you that as I have been adjusting for my top favorite detectors to have on-hand, the FORS CoRe is definitely a solid member of that group. I find it especially comfortable to use for cruising open or sparse areas with the stock 7X11 DD coil which I keep mounted. I have the other two on their own rods and my extra coils travel along in a plastic tote for use when needed.
