I assumed same guts put into a better “box” by the same company.they have similar interface and setting and they are the same company. there are some big differences. gold racer is 56 khz, gold kruzer is 61 khz.(different engine) gold kruzer is built fully waterproof where as the gold racer is not.(kruzer is better build quality) gold racer had the headphone jack and battery under the armcuff. ( headphone jack was the only thing that failed on my gold racer), gold kruzer has all the electronics in the waterproof head unit and nothing under the armcuff. the coils are different and not interchangable. so yeah the screen is similar but thats about it. just because you have to run the gain lower in high mineralized ground does not mean your detector is inferior to some other guys detector in a different location. that goes every detector ever made. soil means everything when it comes to adjusting settings and filters on a metal detector.
I see the differences and I’ve been tempted to do that upgrade.
My inner gut tells me the Minelab Mantacore would do just as well on small gold but be better on coins and relics. It’s just not marketed that way and nobody has been giving great reviews of it being a good enduro detector. It sounds hyper sensitive on shallow 2-3 grain flakes of gold.
