Nice video showing tips and tricks with real field targets while helping a new detector learn his machine.  This video was much more casual, and relaxed. As always you're very positive and encouraging.  Plus it's live video of what new detectors are going through out in the field probably alone with no one there to answer any questions getting frustrated and discouraged. So a video like this is help, knowledge  and encouragement to keep trying great job being YOU bud!  I like the in vid informative pop up banners too. GET YOUR CAKE ON!

Good tips - or at least, they match my experience perfectly. I have been detecting on and off for a decade but I have only done 3 days with the Racer 2. I have found that the big deep signal that scores in the 90s is pretty much always deep iron with a hole in it. The more circular the hole, the better the target ID>. The racer 2 seems more prone to this than my old DFX but it is not a problem when you know about it. I think that what is happening is that the current flow around the hole causes an odd phase shift that the detector considers to be non-ferrous. I think that the reason that the Racer is more subject to this than most detectors is that its recovery time from iron is exceptional. Most detectors, including my old DFX, would just null out on seeing the iron and so not notice the odd phase shift. I am going to check this theory with Makro.

Hi Stephen.  Is the Racer 2 a sparky machine or quite stable.  I'm just selling my Sorex Pro because it falses a lot and takes a lot of fiddling to get it running nice, thinking of replacing with the Racer 2 if it's a smoother runner?

Just bought a Makro Racer 2, what settings would you use for trashy ares such as ghost towns etc. Thanks
