Was doing some pretty intense detecting for the past couple of weeks using both the Coinstrike and my Challenger X-100. Well, the upshot of it all is that the X-100 kicked Coinstrike butt all over the trashy areas. In sharp mode I could go sooooo slooowwwlly and with such good seperation that I was pulling goodies out of areas I'd gone over a number of times with the Cs. I will admit, the Coinstrike is one of the deepest detectors that I've ever used, but has a real problem with bottle caps and doesn't like our new Canadian money. Anyway, you can figure out which detector is going up on the classifieds next! ..Willy.
