Very good detector. Superb in iron. Reports on salt beach pretty darn good too. The small coil, this is what really makes it special. Old home sites etc with a lot of junk, iron, nails---Detector rocks. Target ID is pretty good too. Detector in 3 tone=good tone nuance----separating good from junk targets.
For the loot a very good purchase.
For its weight---with stock coil attached----one of the best swinging detectors out there.

Can't help but love the Core. I mainly hunt the beaches and love the way this machine discriminates. 95% of the time I know what I'm digging before I dig it. The other 5% is when I'm expecting a pull tab and the gold pops up! Bottle caps are very easy to discriminate with this machine. Pieces of foil are also easy to read unless it's a big ball of it and then you're going to get a good reading. I am also well pleased with how deep I am getting dimes and nickels. Nickels and pull tabs that are 10" deep means I will also pull most gold rings at that depth too. I wouldn't trade this machine for any that I can think of out there. It runs very smooth on the beaches...wet and dry......and it doesn't wear my arm out like my Fisher CZ-20 did even when I had the Fisher hip-mounted. I just wish they would have made this the ultimate machine by making it waterproof. I can see that in the future of the Core....or maybe the Makro. I understand they are basically the same machines with different designs.

.I am at o.c.md. with my nokta forcore detector ((beach hunting ) that cog mode is awesome I had to adjust the sensitivity at 88 and I'd mask 30 works great and smooth in wet or dry sand. found a silver ring and clad. Thanks again for the advice.

Well I don't live at the beach but wanted it for when I do go and this is great news. I mainly hunt middle NC with clay soils!

Not finding used ones for sale is a good sign. The video's and tests on both the Fors Core and the Velox are outstanding for the price.
