Makro racer 2
June 05, 2016
Good enough detector if you have good ground. In my mineralised soil
showing 3-4 bars on the graph, you will do well to get 9 inch on a large
copper penny, don't listen to the absolute crap being touted about 20 inch
deep coins, the detector only air tests to about 16 inch max! In and around
iron it falses high tones so it takes a while to figure these out against a
good non ferrous target beside iron.
The TID is rubbish after 4 or 5 inch depth, got to go by the tones, the iron audio is very useful as you can turn down the iron report to a whisper. Falses bad on wet black sand. The nel tornado coil gives a much better 'dig' signal on deep targets versus the smaller stock coil.
Max Depth: 9 inches on US quarter

It almost reads to deep.
March 09, 2016
I'm hitting 12" on quarters on the wet sand on the west coast Ca with the
stock coil. The only real downsides of the wet sand is it's not water proof
or even water resistant that I'm aware of so a drop in the water would be
costly and as mentioned it almost reads too deep. As once you dig in the
wet sand the hole is 1/2 filled up by the time you can get a second scoop,
add in the water surging and you can expect to work hard and quick for your
finds.
The other problem is it's almost too sensitive, but that's the sacrifice of it reading so deep. In trashy areas you'll almost certainly want to get a smaller coil because it picks up nearly everything. But seldom will it give a clear tone on something really deep. Overall for the money the detector is hard to beat for the price and I consider it one of my better investments.

Gran bel metal detector
September 13, 2015
I purchased the makro racer for some months now. Once you are familiar with
the instrument it is really simple. Available different search modes (two
tones, three tones, beach). For the sea is one that fits precisely the
beach. Manual balancing of the sand... In addition you have the option to
search the shoreline where the sand is wet.
Fast response times, really responsive. With valuable tools like LED lighting plate and vibration when it detects a signal, backlit display, with discrimination in 99 segments. Quality/Price really the TOP.
Da qualche mese.. Ho acquistato il makro racer.. Una volta presa confidenza con lo strumento davvero semplice.. Disponibili diverse modalità di ricerca (due toni, tre toni, beach).. Per il mare quella più adatta è appunto quella beach. Bilanciamento manuale del terreno... Inoltre si ha la possibilità di cercare nella battigia dove la sabbia è bagnata. Tempi di risposta rapidissimi.. Davvero reattivo... Dotato di strumenti validi come led di illuminazione piastra e vibrazione quando rileva un segnale, display retroilluminato, con discriminazione a 99 segmenti. Rapporto Qualità/prezzo davvero il TOP.

Outstanding detector
August 27, 2015
The Makro Racer is the third metal detector that I own and use. I am amazed
by the quick response of this unit while working in trash. The depth of
recovery is unlike any machine that I have hunted with. I'm finding coins
at 18 to 20 inches and I know it will do even better. It's very easy to
use. It's very sturdy build but very light weight so you can hunt all day.
Max Depth: 18 inches on US quarter
