Had one about a week to compliment my CoRe. If you have any doubts dismiss them. These Turk machines are some conductive finding monsters. Make sure you get an excellent set of headphones, this is an audio machine with the nuances it has audio wise, just like the CoRe. I'll be running mine tomorrow with the camera running so it might be tomorrow night before it is loaded on the tube. I'll be hunting a lot of trash........ The big coil meaning stock? Iran it a couple of days ago and it was a shock to me how good it separated in heavy trash. Dug a handful of older clad and a couple of wheats. Old place, silver is there, and CW stuff to boot.

Yes sir the the stock big coil. I gave up my t2 se for this I hope its better. The t2 was dissappointing to me. I plan on getting the small coil one day soon.

Rob a bank, steal lemonade money from the kids. The small coil is like nothing you've ever seen in trash. Simply amazing! The stock coil is fabulous also just in heavy trash a lot to digest coming through the headphones.

I got out with my at pro earlier found 4 pennies and a dime at a house built in 1934. No wheats and no silver but I feel ill find some with the racer. They just tore the house down, so its a mess around it.

I saw one of Dirtfishing's videos on YouTube comparing the racer to the F19, and it appeared that the racer liked to call a bunch if junk targets in the lower 80s. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yea I watched that video. My at pro calls some trash targets in the 80s sometimes. Ive watched about as many videos as I could find on it. Alot of different targets do fall in the 80s with the racer. I too noticed that. Anyone else that has used one can comment?

Yes I will comment, Racer audio in 3 tone is unbelievable for IDing junk from the good stuff. TID too is unreal; especially with small coil. For new Racer users and future Racer users. A tip: take your unit with small coil (stock coil is you don't have a small coil) and get a dime, penny, quarter, screw tops, pull tabs, crown caps. Sweep all one at a time. Notice the sound and duration of the tone on the coins vs the other targets I mentioned (junk). Very different even when listening using external speaker. High(er) quality headphones will even make the difference you hear even more acute. In 3 tone Racer has the best audio on any detector I've ran.

Thank you I will try that when I get it. I hope to have it next week sometime. I traded my t2 for it I hope I made the right trade!

Racer users/owners: I realize folks have budgets, but you need the small coil to get the everything out of your Racer. No if, ands, buts. or howevers. The small coil in heavy modern trash/heavy iron bits is TOPS. With the small coil attached you have a very special weapon for sucking goodies out of places most folks when detecting run from. Reason: there detectors many of them simply can't perform in such an environment. Cheers

I've watched many of Dirtfishins videos and he is definitely partial towards Minelab and he seems to think that nothing is better than the Etrac. Here is one comparison of the Etrac and the Racer which proves otherwise.

Ok I robbed my kids piggy bank, ordered the baby DD and it should be here hopefully today. I've watched the YouTube videos so im having high hopes for this coil.
I plan on using it in something odd and rare. Have a house built pre 1800 that has a 3 hole out house. Even though it has three places to sit its not the most spacious to swing a full sized coil. I'm hoping the baby DD will be perfect for it. We've already found a matron head cent from outside the door of it so im getting antsy.
