The racer, how waterproof is water proof can it be used in streams a rivers to locate pay dirt? Thank you

Hello Katie, the Gold Racer has a waterproof search coil that can be used in streams, creeks, rivers and lakes up to just beneath the control box. So a couple feet should be no issue!

What would you recommend for someone very hard of hearing?

I would recommend the Nokta Makro Simplex for a beginner machine or a Nokta Makro Anfibio for a more advanced machine. Both have the vibration feature which is great for those that are hard of hearing!

What’s the difference between the gold racer and the AU gold?

Both the Gold Racer and AU gold finder are great machines. The Racer is based more on visual indicators and The AU gold finder uses strictly tones. They both operate at 56 khz which is perfect for finding tiny nuggets. When making a choice between the two machines, it comes down to preference. The racer gives you a little more to go off because it uses a number system and sounds. The AU gold Finder is the preferred choice for more experienced gold hunters who prefer just to listen. I hope this helps!
