I thought there might have been some interfence issues between the two, but they did fine together.
I bought a stereo splitter from Radio Shack so that I could hear both the detector and the probe on the same set of headphones.
I wear my pouch on my left hip. Hooked the uniprobe in the belt ring of the pouch and drop the probe in the pouch with the cord hanging outside. Plugged the stereo splitter into a 1/4" adapter and into the detector. Used a coiled cable extension to plug into probe and one end of the splitter, and plugged my headphones into the other end of the splitter.
I ran the CoinStrike at Factory Preset with the volume turned down to 3, and if I remember rightly, I had the frequency knob on the probe turned fully clockwise. There was no to very slight crosstalking between them.
I'm not quite happy with my set up and see a lot of room for improvement. I had the extension cable hanging between the machine and the probe swinging around as I walked and I can see cable failure on the way because of it. I need to move it to the detector. But it functioned just great.
I was hunting outside a ball field. Lot of trash. Was perplexed because I had several square tabs reading down as 9-12 range. I expected them to be higher. Steel bottle caps were reading 31-32. Expecially the flattened ones.
Too dry to dig so I only retrieved targets I could probe. Found some battery money and a high tone silver metalic token that read "Good for a $1 in Trade" on one side. Haven't cleaned it up yet so I don't know exactly what it is yet.
My good headphones are on the blink, so I was using some walmart specials. I was missing the good quality sound.
It was nice to get out
