Coinstrike Questions

A few questions. In the specs for the Coinstrike they don't list frequencies. Is the Coinstrike a multi frequency detector? I use my CZ3D often with a friend who has a Minelab Explorer II. I find as many good target as he does, but I dig alot more holes and trash. I kind of wish I had an ID/digital machine. I also like the idea of a programable machine like the White's DFX and the Explorer II. Would like to stick with Fisher, but I want multi-frequency and the versatility of programming. I probably would go with a Coinstrike in spite of the lack of programming if I knew it was multi-frequency. In general what do you that own one think of this digital machine?
 
It's frequency listings were "properiatary" (sp?). Basically, FRL ain't sayin'.

I did a lot of research on the Coin-Strike and most of it was positive,so I bought one Saturday. I am glad I did because, with only about 2 hours experience I tried it out in my test garden.
The Coin-Strike out preformed my other 2 detectors which are top of the line of other brands.
The Coin-Strike can be programed. You can enter 3 of your own programs. As far as multi-frequency I don't know. Only Fisher could tell you. mtdoramike who is on this form is who I got a lot of good information from regarding settings. He uses one quite a bit and approves of it performance. Good luck Bernie
 
but I didn't care for the CZ3d. Your right, you will dig a lot of junk with it. I can find as many targets with my CZ70 or C$ and dig a whole lot less trash then I did with the CZ3d. I think the CZ3d is a great unit for pre-1950's sites, but for modern sites, it leaves a bit to be desired.

I also just got a GTi1500 and out of 25 digs, I might average 2-3 junk targets. That imaging features is great. The depth is close to the depth of the CZ5, which I also have.
 
The only multi-freq. detector that Fisher is still producing is the CZ-3d, and to top it all off it's been designed for pre-60's sites. So using it for hunting in modern areas or areas with a lot of modern trash is going to give you fits.

Fisher no longer manufactures mult-freq. units for "conventional", (if I can use this word), metal detecting.

The Coinstrike is a single frequency detector. Don't worry the world hasn't come to an end, it can hunt with the best of them no matter if there single or multi- freq..

If your your looking for depth and less trash, and if your a capable detectorist, the C$ is for you. The C$ operates on one frequency, but it does better than any multi frequency I have ever used. Its not without its problems. For me its hot rocks. It loves hot rocks. But even with that, its the best machine I have ever used. Multi frequency seems to be falling out of favor. You now see allot of new generation detectors coming out with one frequency. Don't get me wrong, multi-freq detectors work fine. My cz-5 is the machine that will work if my C$ is having problems. But my C$ goes just a bit deeper, and I dig alot less trash, especially iron.

Proprietary huh? I don't need to know the exact frequencies, only that it is multi - frequency or not. Anyone considering the purchase of a new detector would need that information. Seems like a mistake on Fisher's part not to include this information.
