One last Coinstrike chance.....need settings

[Scott Maine]

I was one of the first CS owners and mine had problems....many actually. So I am trying one more now that they have been out for a while.
I just want One of you to post general relic settings...I disc out nails and that is it.
My CS would ID most small iron as a nickel...about an 11 or 12...regardless of settings.
Not worried about steel beer caps as I hunt fields not parks.

Hi Scott

Try this link from John, it has a lot of usefull information close to what you want to do. http://home.insightbb.com/~johnhetti/coinstrike/

Try to remember that the Coinstrike is a faster sweep detector than other Fisher detectors. Somewhat closer to the 4 filter Whites. This doesn't mean that you should never sweep it slow, its just that it runs deep, and steady with a fast sweep.

You don't have to have a high sensitivity setting to make it perform well. Performance with the threshold set in the -20 to -30 range is a good start.

Scott,

Run the iron disc where you want to knock out small iron. That was one thing I like about the C$ is the ability to disc the smaller iron but hear the larger stuff that falses occasionally. I usually set the iron disc around 50

The key to iron falses is a good ground balance. Sometimes it really pays when you are working heavy iron to let it track for a bit over relatively target free ground and then lock it. The iron that still falses should read 00 or +00 on resweeping or with a faster resweep. Some big stuff is gonna false regardless.

As far as overall settings for heavy iron, try high sens like 7 or 8 with the threshold at -20, -30 or -40 and then try the sens around 4 or 5 with threshold at 0 or -5 to see which works best for YOU. Slow sweeps with low sensitivity cut down on overall depth but see thru just a tad better, not that the higher sens settings don't work well in most cases.

Yah , Mike, but at least you didn't sell yours at a moment of dumbness like i did, but things worked out and i got a nother one real quick, so i guess it turned out OK for me anyway, hang in there, things will come to pass

hmmmmm, Maine can be full of hot rocks.
If your ground is not highly mineralized then All Metal mode, Sens as high as possible without the machine going crazy, Threshold around -5 to -15, Averaging on. If the ground is a problem turn Tracking on too.

GB in a totally clear spot in All Metal mode. No signals with 3 feet. Keep the coil against the grass and sweep moderate speed. Zero in on your signals. enjoy
