Shopping around for another C$

That full circle thing I guess :shrug:

Happy Coin$triking :detecting:
 
5 3/4 coil was get to you sooner then later. hahahahahahahahaha. I have mine on the C$ now and I'll tell you what, it's a sweet coil. I've left the small coil on the C$ since I got it.
 
I actually find the T2 & C$ pretty similar, & probably why there was like 0 learning curve for me with the T2.....
Both FAST & sensitive....If the C$ notches & saving the last setting are positives, for me the T2 coil, balance & pinpointing are plus features there.......
The good news is I have seen C$'s super cheap & really under priced at less than $500. (It's too bad, a buddy just sold his mint one for $475 shipped).
 
Got one on the way. Now to find that baby coil......
 
The T2 is a nice machine, no doubt. The pinpoint mode is THE pinpoint mode.

But...I looked back at what features and performance I really enjoyed in a detector and reflected back on all those I've used and the CS came out on top of them all.

I was hunting a ballfield outfield once with the CS. Got a nice high tone audio with a 33/34 number and right beside it maybe an inch away I also got a faint high tone. Don't remember the number but I sure remember that faint high tone beside the other one. Turned out to be a 4" quarter and right below it down around 7-8" was a dime. None of the other machines using an 8" concentric coil would have sounded off on both of those. I'm not even sure the T2 would have. And I didn't even have it cranked.

Oh yeah...I also love notches :inlove:

& he had it on the classifieds for months & no one showed a drop of interest asking $500.....
Just bad timing I guess :shrug:
 
I had it posted on the classifieds and then finally had to list it on ebay for it to sell.

But then other times, I have seen C$'s sell like hot cakes and there would be people posting looking for Coinstrikes. So yes, I think it's bad timing.
 
The wife will pick up my new steady this morning :detecting:
 
I haven't used one but for stability and apparently much improved performance around powerlines, it sounds like the Edge is a very good choice...HH
 
For one thing I'd lose the Sensitivity/Threshold combo so there goes my fine control, which would place me back into being locked into the design engineers warm wishes toward me.

Then I lose my seperate iron discrimination adjustment, ground tracking, backlight, memory locations, and operating frequency.

Nope....couldn't do it.

Course if Bill had been allowed more say so in the design of the Edge I'm sure it would have made it even better than it already is.

(where's the brownnose smiley :rolleyes: )

I was pushing for a revamped Coinstrike, a C$ II or RelicStrike. Myself and some other C$ users helped put together a list of things we'd like to see. This included things like trigger pinpoint, better balance/lighter, small coil, custom (set your own) notches, etc, etc. (I can't recall everything at the moment). FRL was I think pretty disappointed in C$ sales, and instant "bad press" on the forums about RF, too hot a preset mode, & folks having no idea how thresh/sens. worked created rumors that killed sales. So, FRL decided to build on the far better selling ID-Excel, figuring any new unit with the word "strike" in it would be a turn-off. Mid-priced level units seemed to sell better. The first rough proto I had was loaded with things I hated, wierd notch & preset ranges, poor audio, short cord....You waders can thank me;) But they did listen to everything I said (except for the trigger) :D
I think that's why I like the T2 alot now. As it has the trigger, the batts under the arm cup, cool VCO style pinpoint in inches, & a real cool DD coil.....Alotta the stuff we wanted in the C$ II.

that wish list wasn't lost and "The New Guard" will have the interest and money to do something with it! :detecting:
 
Check out the "under cover" pic on the Fisher forum. Does that look like a Tek to you??

If silhouettes are accurate, it sure resembles one or at least appears to have some "common non-critical parts", but more importantly I'd have to say it's really a new detector that... oops, I can't say!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
looked vaguely familiar. Its the "uncommon critical" parts I'm interested in. :lol:it
