Hello all,
Some history first, I've had my racer 2 for a few weeks and I'm happy how things are going, learning the tones and setups for detecting different areas. I upgraded from a nokta 1 which in its own right is a great machine with great depth and durability.
But I may have came across a issue or some advice on how to proceed.
The racer has been out with me on 2 club digs, pasture in the UK.
Both ground types were not heavy mineralised, but I can't seem to get the depth.
So after a recent dig I did some testing in my back garden, and buried a 6 pence which is I believe 40% silver at around 4 inches and the racer really struggled to pick it up. Deep mode was fine as was all metal, but 2 tone and 3 tone barely picked it up.
Concerned I went through a air test with some other modern coins from the UK and was shocked that the machine does not recognise our new 10p coins at all.?.
Only in all metal mode and very reluctantly. Now I don't want to pick up hundereds of
These coins but if it is missing this coin what else am I missing.
I have tried a factory default and a manual ground balance but still silver is not the greatest signal, or not at all.
Please if it's a user issue great I love this machine but if not. Nokta 1 may make a come back.
Thanks in advance.
Martin.
