Serious Metal Detecting With The Makro Racer

  • This is one of my latest hunts. It was time to use the"Makro Racer" after "cleaning" an area with my XP Deus and the GC-1023. It was a different day, different soil conditions, a different coil size, discrimination level, angle and approach. Do not compare detectors if you don't use them at the same time.
    There are unfortunately a few things I don't like about the Makro Racer. It's mainly the ergonomics. The handle is uncomfortable. The volume control knob is placed at the back (it stands out). I can not lean the detector against a tree for example, without "changing the volume".
    Should the Racer (for some reason) hit the ground, the VC knob will probably brake. Since it has the function of the ON/OFF switch, it could also damage the detector.
    The speaker is placed at the back and the whole thing is still too heavy for my hunting style...
    Other than that I like it.

    like this it is a breeze to focus on your detecting movie .
    thanks for taking us there.

    The five inch round dd on the Red Racer is red hot on coins in high metal trash areas ,less targets under the smaller coil makes it very precise in two tone .Hard to beat this combo with any machine even today. Great show thanks 😊!

      My red racer is still finding goodies, the original coil is now replaced with a mars 10 x 5 dd and just keeps producing side by side with my Deus.nice to watch your show again. Do you still use your Racer!😊

    Your doing a fantastic job in that area well done, most people would have given up in such a iron rich place.. Great finds, great video thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next hunt..

    I'm still watching your older video's as well as your new ones. This one is fantastic! You even pulled out a folding shovel for this, haven't seen you with it in your new video's though. Thanks for films!

    • @MetalDetecting24
      @MetalDetecting24  6 років тому +1

      Oh thank you. I still have this shovel, but I'm (occasionally) using a different one (which can't be folded, but it's lighter). I take it only with me, when I have to recover a big target (that I marked in the past).
      I have two videos almost ready, where this shovel plays a small part. I will try to upload it in the future...
      Have a nice day.

    Nice video. Several people who own the Makro Racer say you can replace the broken coil bolt with one of the arm rest bolts for a quick fix in the field.

    • @MetalDetecting24

    Great video. Love the text as apposed to live voice and wind noise that us the norm on similar vids. I have a racer 1 and I'm trying to learn it. No decent finds yet but one day hopefully. What coil are you using here? I'll be subbing to your channel.

    I like the honest review and the fact u show that an iron infested place could potentially have something good beneath it. If u are on a field u know a seed field thats been harvested and plowed and all. Would u dig after every iron if it sounded there was something interesting? Like how u go from that was not a great start and then u find a bloody roman coin haha Happy hunting

  • @jonathantaylor6125
    @jonathantaylor6125 8 років тому +1

    Nice video...shame about the bolt breaking...happened to me in the field and was frustrating, fortunately a bolt can be taken from the arm rest which allowed me to continue detecting. Great finds there and well persevered!

    • @MetalDetecting24
      @MetalDetecting24  8 років тому

      +JONATHAN TAYLOR - Thank you very much. Someone already wrote about the screw from the arm rest on a different platform. I'm using a bolt from another detector at this point, but it is good to know how to replace it quickly, if it happens again. Thanks!

      I've been out detecting a lot this month and i am really getting to know the Golden Mask 5 now. I am digging a lot less rubbish as i am becoming familiar with the digital graph, and i found a way to run at almost full power without becoming unstable. I had a nice little coin spill the other day with a couple of small silvers, but no gold yet :-). So how many detectors do you have? and do any go deeper than 13 or 14 inches?

    • @MetalDetecting24
      @MetalDetecting24  8 років тому

      +\_ Venator - That's nice to hear. It looks like you are doing very well. A silver coin spill sounds amazing. Congratulations! All I could find at the beginning ( for almost 1 year in my old town) were coins from 1960.
      How many detectors? I think 7 at the moment (which means - 6 too much...) mostly due to my stupidity.
      14 inches? In ground? Only on a tank (but I'm not sure in case of the Deus ;). I think the Troy X5 could get some good depth, but it is falsing on iron (this is why I'm not using it).

    Ein interessantes Video! Eines vorausgeschickt: ich bin totaler Laie. Daher habe ich zwei Fragen:
    1) Diese Detektoren können doch zwischen verschiedenen Metallen unterscheiden. Warum machen Sie sich die Heidenarbeit, Nägel und Drähtchen freizulegen?
    2) Warum benutzen Sie kein effizienteres Grabwerkzeug, also eine Schaufel?
    Vielen Dank für Ihre Erläuterung!

  • @delukxy

    With all that iron I really admire your patience, the Romans certainly make it worth it. How old is your "magic wall"? Does it have any Roman or early history?

    • @MetalDetecting24
      @MetalDetecting24  8 років тому

      +Deluk - The wall has theoretically no Roman history (as far as I know). It is an abandoned vineyard. I don't know when it was built (19th-20th century - but this is only my wild guess). The nearest spot (structure) with confirmed Roman history is probably 1km away.
      I went to the library to look at some older maps, but I couldn't find anything special about this place. The area around this wall looks pretty average compared to this tiny "hot spot". I could recover many (good) objects (among a ton of modern trash and iron) but the targets were mostly from the WWII era (coins, brooches etc.).
      I believe that the soil could have been brought there from a different place when the wall was built. Maybe even later to fill a gap, or to extend a part of it. There is a field at the very top. It could also be a farmer with a load of soil (even from a distant place). They often simply dump the garbage over the cliff. But this is only my opinion. The abrupt absence of other similar targets near this area (and I'm talking about 1-30m distance left and right) is very strange. It seems to be just this small 1,5m x 1,5m ("special") spot. I will try to find out more about this place in the future.

    • @delukxy
      @delukxy 8 років тому

      +MetalDetecting24 Thanks for the detailed reply. I can't guess where your old vineyard is but the Romans did start viniculture on the banks of the Rhine and Mosel. Trier is mentioned. If there is a known Roman site just 1km away the area could have had vineyards on and off way back to the Romans.GL & HH.

    • @MetalDetecting24
      @MetalDetecting24  8 років тому

      +Deluk - Thank you. It could be the case, but (for some reason) I believe, that the wall was built around 19th century. As I already mentioned, I could not find anything, that would indicate Roman presence at some other parts of this vineyard (but of course, I'm not an expert). I will try to get more info in the future. Thanks - have a great evening.

      @mrronny9583 8 років тому +1

      +MetalDetecting24 Hey ich hab ma bissl rumgeschaut und umgehört, es könnten barbarische Nachprägungen sein, typisch dafür sind diese Pünktchen auf den Münzen google mal Barbaric antoninianus of tetricus ums Jahr 270-280 AD, die sieht am ähnlichsten aus und hat auch diese zwei striche rechts am rand... könnt hinkommen, deine sind im besseren Zustand.

  • @sftatat

    simple solution.buy a rake and screw lots of little super magnets to it.then you can remove iron quickly .or even a small hand rake.

    • @MetalDetecting24
      @MetalDetecting24  8 років тому +1

      +goldfinder gc1023 - But that would be cheating. ;) No, you are right, it would probably be the best idea. Someone suggested it in the past already. I will have to try it out.

      @MetalDetecting24  8 років тому +1

      +get in - I know it was you. I haven't mentioned your nick, because I wasn't sure if "goldfinder gc1023" (above) doesn't get confused when I write "get-in". :)
      It looks like you already started detecting? Is the ground not frozen anymore? I will get a magnet one day. It could be very helpful at places like this.

    • @MetalDetecting24
      @MetalDetecting24  8 років тому

    • @sftatat
      @sftatat 8 років тому +1

      think of the weight . a small 3 tine hand rake with a neodymium attached to each tine . you can buy the magnets with countersunk holes and they are not expensive .great in loose woodland hunting .might even work on ploughed/rolled . but magnets have to be kept away from control box /coil.

      P.S. I have purchased other magnets too...
