Not sure what's going on but ive seen 3 anfibio machines up for sale used already,and that machines been out for 10 days? Not looking good in my book, thinking it's more or less a repackaged impact like the kruzer is pretty much a repackaged impact .Thinking makro is running outta gas.:laughing:
 
Your thinking well kinda goes like this sometimes.....ALL ROADS LEAD TO THE AT PRO...:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Nah,I like Makro actually so I’m not trying to dog them..BUT i can’t change what I see in the classifieds,so early after release.
And I had a guy drive 50 miles to pay $350 for a used stock at pro,so it’s in demand still.Or maybe it was my autograph he was really after.:laughing:

Yeah Woody,
You know what your problem is?

You always seems to be quick to condemn certain model of detectors.
You did it with Equinox, now the Anfibio.

Funny thing is you bought another EQX, and tried to say it was a faulty first Eqx you bought. Lol
Absolutely stunning.
And here was the part that took the cake.
You couldn’t on your own think about the poor soul you according to you offloaded a faulty EQx onto.
You had to be reminded.

So what about the EQX you sold first.
Did you contact the person, and if so was the unit faulty??

I’ll bet I can go find history threads here where you threw Deus under the bus too, and then rebought.

So, this thread here is really nothing but what I call a reindeer post.
I have no time for reindeer games.
Later.

Hold on here,lets wipe the mirror and let some of this smoke clear..Are you insinuating that my opinion on everything is beneath your opinion?Because after all this is just opinions.
A fact is what I posted in this opening thread,that there were and are amfibio machines for sale used after only being released 10 days ago.Those are facts,not opinions.
As for throwing machines under the bus,it is what it is.And yes I had either a faulty equinox or the upgrade made it a better machine,whatever way you want to look at it?
Forgive me if I don’t buy machines to write lengthy posts on how well they did in my nail test,or garden tests.That may be your cup of tea but it’s a waste of time to me.
Like I said earlier,I like Makro and think the racer and impact at great machines,all my threads about Makro are positive...Kruzer in my opinion from running it is a repackaged Impact,and from what I’m seeing the anfibio is also.
If you have a opinion on my opinion that’s fine,don’t make it fact.But no need to muddy the waters here with nonsense about other machines and take away from the infibio and why they’re up for sale used so qiuickly after release.

So,what do I think about Makro machines,from actual in field use? They work and some are outstanding.
When the red racer first was introduced a member raved over it so badly that I bought one pre order.Had many flaws in my opinion.
Then the racer 2 came and I bought one too.And it was just a great well laid out machine,and probably one of the best for my type of hunting still today.The Racer 2 is a fantastic machine.
Then came the Impact,I bought one and another fantastic machine,and not only performance,, but in my eyes on of the best looking machines made.
Then the kruzer ,I bought one..control buttons are too busy and in the way of each other.Recharging battery,I hate that.No more trigger pinpoint or ground balancing with a trigger cause it’s not there.Just a rushed out and not well thought out machine IN MY OPINION.
Now the infibio is out,Havent guini pigged it yet and I’m not sure it would be worth it over the used prices of a Impact.Dont forget I said I thought the impact was a outstanding machine in all aspects,,and I doubt the infibio brings anything to the table for ME the impact doesn’t already have.
I’m a coin hunter.Not a relic hunter who stumbles over a deep coin now And again and says look what this machine found at 14 inches deep.Two totally different classes and styles of hunting.
Just my opinions here of the machines by Makro I’ve owned and used in field coin hunting,Not tests in my yard.Your opinion may differ.

Well it was nothing special to begin with there are already detectors out there like that.
 
I believe that Nokta/Makro themselves have admitted the Anfibio is a detector that got caught up in their company merger. A detector that was close to release by one company and similar to the previous release of the other company.


It has similarities with the Impact and Kruzer for sure.

They turn out the detectors. No doubt about it. Hopefully the political climate in the world.right now does not hurt the relationship with American customers.
 

I gotta address this video..Because we all know calabash your the biggest hater concerning misinformation.:laughing:

First and foremost,your soil is very loamy and sandy.Therefore things will sink far into the ground,,and machines will do very well in your soil also where depth is concerned for that reason.
Now,if a guy watches your video from western Pennsylvania,and Bury a 14 inch coin ,and buys a anfibio and finds out he can not touch it,,well that’s where the misinformation comes in.
There’s two sides to the coin here.In my western Pennsylvania soil about 7 maybe 8 inches is the max depth a machine is gonna get,and from mid priced to high end they all hit those coins at that depth..Coins do not sink very far here because of our compact ground,and there’s clay and rock after 7 to 8 inches...
You dug that 14 inch hole like it was nothing,all loose sandy soil.I don’t envy that,cause your coins will sink so far fast,Id hate to be digging 10 inches for clad..You’d need a pick ax to dig 10 inches here,after 7 it’s all rock and clay.
 
I just tested my new Anfibio Multi in my test garden and depth wise it is 100% hitting deeper (Deep Mode) than my Deus 13" x35 (Deep and a custom hot program). So far I am very impressed.

If your a relic hunter digging everything non ferrous then that's the machine for you.From owning the impact ,Racer2 and multi kruzer they all had one tone in deep mode..not for coin hunters
 
Yeah,
If I lived in Florida, coastal areas of NC, SC, and other places where soil is milder. Gotta watch Anfibio. CZ3d can’t match, fbs, fbs2 all wearing stock coils.
Neither can any series F75 Detectors. High conductive coins too. Even best Nox.
Now, Emi situation could make a model do better on one day vs other model.

But Anfibio out the gate has a leg up.
You see the gent Danksowski fooling with a detector detecting in his area, this means some thing.

Since Anfibio release weather in Midwest and northeast not the best.
Give it some time, watch some reports of some rather deep coins and relics unearthed.

It is normal behavior for folks to be apprehensive when a new model detector comes out. Not all are going to rush out and buy. So users right now limited, thus real feedback is limited.


This Dankowski fellow seems didn’t just pick the coins up off the top of the ground using Anfibio multi.

Seems Anfibio is a deep striker in Fla soil.


Enjoy

Hey, I had the Racer 2, loved it, but ever since owning the Equinox...WOW!

Sorry, but IMHO....Makro Multi Kruzer, Impact and Amphibio are just wearing different jackets/chassis prob at least 99.9999999% of internals is same.:laughing:

Just my own opinion.

I just tested my new Anfibio Multi in my test garden and depth wise it is 100% hitting deeper (Deep Mode) than my Deus 13" x35 (Deep and a custom hot program). So far I am very impressed.

Your post has probably pushed me to buy an Infibio just to check it against my Deus. The Deus is my main go to machine for just plain raw depth.
