Coinstrike vs. Edge

and have used a coinstrike but we just didnt click for some reason .The first thing you'll notice is the Edge will be alot easier to setup and run .The coinstrike will require some fine tuning with the threshold and sensitivity.Ive noticed in my area the coinstrike liked hot rocks while the edge ignores them almost completely.the coinstrike numbers seem jumpy and the edge numbers seem more stable the edge audio seems better modulated. the depth of both are pretty close maybe the lean towards the coinstrike but dont count the edge out its close some say deeper for the edge I know the edge I use can be run in most areas wide open sensitivity and the coinstrike I couldnt really crank up so depth is close real close.also the edge dosnt seem to suffer from Rf noise like the coinstrike. to me the edge wins hands down for ease of use lighter than the cs just as deep? there both deadly in trash especially in iron trash.coinstrike has a backlight if thats a concern or requirement.
I choose an Edge for my personal needs I believe it has an Edge Ha-Ha!
Just my thoughts
Oyeah I belive they have quit making the Edge and excel and coinstrike once the stock is depleted there not going to make any more.I belive the 1270 is over with also.
There's a new relic machine coming out real soon from fisher and it's not on the 12xx platform .Woops I wasnt supposed to say that.

Woops?? A 12XX series replacement?? Hmmm,,
You got "back channel" info or something?
Ok so lets see.
Keep the chestmount option of the 1236X2, make the Freq around 8-10 Khz. build in a great iron disc.. not as fussy as the one on the T2. With a good choice of concentric and DD coils. No Frills just the meat and 'taters
K.I.S.S.

The EDGE is definitely lighter in weight, but no FEATHERWEIGHT in depth, and is a turn on and go detector. As I recall MR.BILL explaining, they use the same loop, but the connector is different. MR.BILL normally compares the F-75 to the C$, saying its almost as deep-as its using a DD that's not bad. Right now you can pick up the C$ for less than the EDGE, which can be set up more different ways.
Contact MR.BILL & BILL LADD as they are probably the most experienced sources on the two detectors, one against the other. Bill Ladd has given me some settings that were right on the money LITERALLY, with the C$ [the hot rocks read at # 51-We joke that it is AREA 51 TARGETS!

Both detectors are HUNTERS.

There really two detectors. The Edge is closer to the ID Excel than the Coinstrike.
The Edge is a lot easier to set up, and learn. It's not bothered by the hot rocks as much as the Coinstrike. It's really not a problem with the Coinstrike either, but the Edge does better with them.
It was mentioned that the ID numbers were more stable on the ID Edge over the Coinstrike. One needs to understand with the Coinstrike you have a choice as to how you want to look at the ID numbers. You can choose instant or accumulative. In the instant mode, the numbers would be a bit jumpy. One other thing with the jumpy numbers on the Coinstrike, sweep speed. The biggest problem is that if the coil is sweep to slow with the Coinstrike, the ID becomes a bit jumpy in the instant mode, it's at least noticeable more. The Coinstrike is a fast sweep unit. It performs best with a brisk sweep speed. The ID Edge is better with a slower sweep speed.
A fast sweep speed with a Coinstrike will produce the deepest results. This is perhaps the biggest problem area I have noticed with those Coinstrike users that were not happy with their units. They were all use to slow sweeping. The C$ will work there, but it's far happier being sweep fast. Because of this, not only is the depth improved, but the target ID is, and the discrimination is.
If I had one to choose from, it would be the Coinstrike, certainly now when you can purchase a new one with a lifetime warranty for $550. There's not many left.
I have to be careful what I say about the ID Edge, Bill Ladd will let the air out of my tires the next time we hunt together if I say something dark about the ID Edge.
The ID Edge was his baby. He helped developed it for Fisher. He, and the engineer spent a bit of time together in RI, field testing the prototypes.

I prefered the CoinStike over the Edge. I guess the Edge was too simple for me 
With the CoinStike I had complete control over how sensitive and stable I wanted it depending upon how I set the Threshold and Sensitivity controls, plus I like the iron discrimination. I missed that feature when using the Edge. The Edge notch idea was good except for not being able to mix and match. In my ground I found the Coinstrike to produce a better "lock" than the Edge

It is hard to chose between the two best detectors available.
