I hate to admit this, but I have started a second round of detectors. I have had so many detectors that I have almost lost track of them and I have only bought the same detector a couple of times. Minelab Explorers and Fisher CZ5's are in that category. I just traded for a Coinstrike and I got it today. I am not saying that I am an expert, but being poor, I can't have more than two detectors at a time. I traded my Coinstrike a couple of years back and I constantly think of that detector. I had super success with it and I finally got one back. I think that I have evolved in the hobby and am more open minded. That is, I won't stop tinkering with settings when I am successful. I think there is much more waiting than I gave it the first time around. It was one of, if not the best trashy site detectors that I have ever used and I never changed the settings on the first one. I know what works, but I am looking forward to tinkering this time around. I will keep you all updated and will listen to any and all advice from the people who have kept their Coinstrikes. Thanks R.L.
