Are you looking for a unit that give high tones for coins? I too have the 3D and love it. I have read posts that some dont like the 3D and some do,thats why you have a choice. When I seen the Edge had OC I thought it would read coins in the high tone, After looking in the man it shows you what numbers on each mode. I am not sure where this thing is going from what I have read on this post. It looks as if there is going to be a mid line of unit out there to choose from. Everything is getting smaller and lower in price, so maybe its not a midline unit after all.
 
GOOD OLD INFLATION who would pay that for a mid line detector?
 
Detectors do operate different in different areas of the country. This is one of the reasons why we read about such differences. True sometimes it
 
so I sold it. The C$ wasn't even in the same 'ballpark' as my 3D in depth. As with anything in detecting it depends on your area mineralization and the type of areas you hunt. For some the 3D works better and for some it's the C$.

That's kind of odd because it was reversed for me. I rarely dig hot rocks with my CZ-3D but I dug hot rocks ALOT with my C$. I also hunt fields, parks, etc. It's strange how it can be reversed like that from area to area. My C$ hit hot rocks that IDed in the mid 20's range almost every outing to old fields I hunt. HH!

What criteria do you use to define top of the line? And inflation has nothing to do with it-its the NANNY STATE. A Lobo Supertraq costs 699 pds
Sterling-figure that one out.

There is a difference. The ID Excel, Edge are not a Coinstrike circuit.

Generally the hot rocks come in on the Coinstrike at #51, sometimes in the 70

Exlorer II, DFX, Coinstrike, 70 Pro, 3DZ, the CZ line, Cointrax,
 
All the Fishers you mentioned, are about $200 more than the EDGE.
 
Have you ever used a DFX? The MXT and XLT are deeper. So much for the "most expensive is the best." What I need to do is find you a PRG which is probably $6000 in todays dollars.
 
Did you start out hunting with the Edge at a factory recommended preset for beginners? How much iron discrimination are you using? Do the nails lock, or bounce all over the place? You put a 10.5" loop on it and it turns into the equal of a .375 H & H Magnum.
 
If it's better than the CZ7a wow! I got to admit that I didn't even give Fisher a second thought until I purchased a used CZ7a and now I'm waiting for approval from Fisher to be an authorized dealer for them. de John the Wirechief, CET.:fisher::coiltec::detecting:
 
You want deep you better get the modular version so you can add the Deephunter Module.
 
DFX AND XLT are not deeper in California I was a dealer and all Jimmy Serria could talk about was how deep the White's detectors were hell I sold them but the fisher found me coins that the white's couldn't hear and I had all of the coils for the white's and all the time in the world to learn that whaqt ever floats your boat doens't mean it will float mine

To many frothy beverages. Thought I saw Tom awhile back at that construction site outside Atlanta that Andy has been doing his field tests at the last twenty years. The one near the barbwire fence..Do you no if they ever fired the job super?:rofl:
 
Man, you guys are kill'n me. I'm new to metal detecting and have fallen into it by accident...and can't stop doing it. I've owned a 1266 for years because I needed a metal detector for my garage to show off with the rest of my "stuff" but never used it. An ongoing road paving project (in my front yard) prompted me to dust it off and fire it up at which time I began started finding CW bullets, CW and pre CW buttons, and other cool things. Problem started when I showed the first button to my wife...she's using it more than I do now. I decided to get a second detector and decided to stay with Fisher just because I know absolutley nothing about any other brand. Anything over $100.00 doesn't come easy these days so I agonized for over 2 weeks during which time I bugged the day lights out of the people at Fisher asking questions, (which surprisingly enough seemed to lead to more questions) trying to decide which model to get. I finally decided (and ordered) the Edge and afterwords stumbled on this web sight. After reading all the postings, I'm now questioning my decision. I know it's not a "1200" model but opted for something different than the 1266 and newer techology. I'm looking for the best all around model for digging relics, old coins, (basically anything cool), etc. Oh yeah, and easy to use.... Is there a better model (dare I say brand) to suit my purpose?
