Took the racer to a local trashy park

[Bill_S]

Took the racer to one of the local trashy parks. First chance I have had to try it since getting the replacement coil. Set the disc to 50 and used Di3 with a sensitivity of 70 most of the time. It did seem to pick through the trash and get some good targets. This was with the 11" stock coil.

Looks like you did pretty well. Any comments on depth??

I bet those scout kerchief slides sounded like a Star Wars Phaser till you raised your coil over them...lol

Once the machines sounds get in your head you won't dig hardly anything in that second picture at all. Get some great headphones too is a huge advantage.

I sure like the way my racer handles iron in my local parks. The last 100 or so targets i dug, i dug one iron pc! No iron wrap around. Also handles my bad soil real well.

I think most of them were in the ground a few inches so they did not overload. I did not get that many overload signals surprisingly.

I did not dig anything real deep but I don't think a 9 inch coin would be out of the question.

I do need to get some good headphones. I really don't have any. It does take a while but then you start getting the hang of how targets react. I would love to see the impact come out and be the same detector as the racer but with notch......;o)

Bill the reason this detector and the CoRe work so well is you really get to hear everything.

Bill great report, and nice finds!

What was the issue with your faulty coil?

What was the issue with your faulty coil?

The detector would go into a constant overload signal when sensitivity was above 69. Not always but randomly, which was weird. You could detect for a few minutes then all the sudden the overload signal would come on and not stop until you lowered the sens. This has not happened once since getting the new coil. The detector will hit in ground targets a bit deeper too and does not seem to overload (as bad) on surface targets like it did with the other coil.

My new coil will go to constant overload signal in 2 tones outside and the gain is default 70, but if the gain is lowered to 69, the overload will go a way. I have the coil cover on, but taking it out will not make the 2 tones go above 69 gain. Small coil is not bothered by any constant overload signals with any mode i try it. The cold wet air and the very wet ground may affect the performance of the 2 tones...

Three tones are not bothered by any constant overload signal with the stock coil, when the gain is upped to 99.

Very strange metal detector, but i think my coil is fine as the three tones works great with the stock coil.

My overloading behavior will go fine with this post: http://www.findmall.com/read.php?102,2165515
