Bout to hit "Enter" to order- Fors Core or Racer.

I'm about to order either a Core with a little coil or the Racer pro pack and could use some inside in the 2!

Can't choose.

I'm new to forum but not to detecting. I have pre ordered a racer. With either you can't go wrong. Racer has better features and easier to read. Should be arriving before end of February, pro package .now trying to find new places.

Both have very similar adjustment features, with just slight differences.

Both provide very similar performance, although there are some slight differences.

Both work excellent in a dense iron trash environment, better than other detectors I have used over the past fifty years.

Very similar, yet slightly different. You didn't mention the types of detecting you plan to do and the site environments you would usually search. You state you are not new to detecting, but I have several good hunting buddies that can hold their own at 'finding' stuff in the ghost towns we have hunted since may of 1986 ... but they have no clue what Ground Balance is, or the meaning of VCO Audio, or the difference between dry dirt and damp/wet alkali desert soils.

If you have read about these two excellent detectors and understand what they offer and the advantages of having the control options and information they provide, and how to get the best out of the types of search modes offered, then either one of them can provide you with very versatile in-the-field performance.

If I were compelled at gun-point to own and use only one of them for a full year and nothing else, I'd take the FORS CoRe. Fortunately I'm not under such a frustrating decision and I will not part with either of them. Matter-of-fact, I might even get one more of one of them just to keep an extra different-sized search coil mounted so that all my detectors are ready-to-grab and put to work with a search coil I feel best fits the site challenges I face.

My 'gut feeling,' however, is that most typical hobbyists would prefer the Makro Racer mainly due to the very informative display in front of them and the easy one-handed adjustments to make on-the-fly.
