[QUOTE="PhaseTech, post: 229511, member: 3149"] AuWanderer, I think the Fors Gold + may still be the better option for iron infested tailing piles looking for nuggets, slightly higher freq at 19kHz, 10x5 and 5" coils as standard, and has the 1-40 iron range, so you can tweak it a little better. The Racer 2 seems more like Makro's answer to the X-Terra 705, with multi notching capability, but with the added benefits of adjustable tone breaks, and ability to adjust iron volume, even turn it off! If I'm reading that right, then you should be able to hunt with no Disc, have the tone crossover points wherever you want, and turn the iron grunt down to a really low level or turn it off totally - just like discriminating iron only you're just muting the audio. Can't wait to try it. But, for gold use, the Racer 2 has the ground phase and mineralisation level display which could come in handy, as well as Deep mode for low target areas. [/QUOTE]
