Any tips for the coinstrike? So far I like it

So far it seems very good. I just set it up withh 99 disc, 7 sensitivity, 0 threshold.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
I'm thinking about lowering the disc to hear iron.

I just tested in the backyard... There's lots of foil and iron

Foil gives soft broken tones and low id #'s 0 - 10.
A zinc hits hard around 22-28
nickel hits hard around 15
small gold ring hit hard around 15

I dug 1 crown cap that had mixed ID #'s and wasn't a solid hit.
I dug 1 nail that was coated with something white (galvanized?) and ID'd near nickel
I dug one nail that had a broken tone and was questionable.

I have to say the readings and tones are consistent. The detector's responses make sense and are easy enough to learn.

I have dug some DEEP brass relics in the 12-14 inch range that consistently had ID's moving in the 30-32 range. Any target that has a very small range of numbers that is deep...dig it. ID numbers jumping all over the place and not in a very tight range, I have found to be garbage.

Found running into the positive threshold area is more related to ground conditions and trash as to whether you can or not. I ran mine mostly the same as your settings. Good idea running it to listen to the iron....lots of times you will get the good tones coming through and when you sweep the coil fast over the target and the numbers don't move too much and you get a repeatable good tone, it's a non-ferrous target.

It's a very good detector.
