The folks up here are still wondering how the Racer does on Canadian coins.
Apparently it must not be any good for us Canadians.....?
No further incentive then to take another look at them?
Too bad Makro didn't send one up here for testing...............I offered....but, we were still snow covered.

Hi, found out one of our Canadian forum members is on the pre-order list and if he gets his before next fall, US orders get filled first, he'll give a complete test.
I can send you a free cold and flu.........was hoping to get out today, decent weather, oh well. have to wait another week or so, back to crapola weather starting tonight.

I see no reason for it not to hit on those coins all my detectors hit on them even the deus...I have the racer and it hit on your penny nice and hard and your nickle...
Well, no one else has had a chance to do this, so I'll give it a shot.
Fortunately, many Canadian visitors to Southern California have
made donations to the beach, which I was honored to gather.
I did these tests pretty quickly, so I look forward to seeing confirmation
(or contradiction) from others. Many of the newer coins gave very
flakey, jumpy, almost random results, as noted below. At some point,
I hope to retest the coins on milder ground.
=========================================
Canadian Coins
Tested on Makro Racer
Using 11" standard coil
(on ground that balances at 84)
$2 (1997, 1999) -- 83-85
$1 (1989) -- 86-94
25c (1975) -- 86-96
25c (1980) -- 82-84
25c (2007) -- 55-82 (very jumpy all over)
10c (2002) -- 12-52 (even more jumpy)
5c (1989) -- 53-55
5c (2008 ) -- 51-82 (very jumpy)
1c (1962) -- 83-85
1c (1975) -- 85-87
