I was just out in the garage playing around with a couple detectors. This time it was the C$ with the new small coil and the CZ 70 with it's small coil. I took some different trash and good targets to see how the two detectors ID'd and separated the targets when they were spaced at various distances. Of course, I was really looking to see which one worked "the best" since I can finally do a somewhat apples to apples comparo now that the C$ finally has a small coil. I won't share the results as if you have both detectors and coils, you should find out for yourself and if you don't, I don't want to be responsible for any stress.

Brad,

I have seen how good the C$ is compared to my CZ-70 in the field at multiple sites particularly with target separation in heavy iron trash or finding very deep good targets like silver dimes I couldn't even hear with my CZ-70,however; the electrical interference issue was one that made me sell it to my hunting bud,a former XLT/DFX main user, who did great with it before my eyes but around old houses with external hanging powerlines,which is where I mainly hunt, it is practically unusable, compared to my CZ-70- hunting without too many problems right underneath. I don't know why they don't use special shielded cable to avoid this-if they did, it would definitely have been my main and probably only machine I needed...HH

about the being prone to interference thing. It seems there's a few new generation, hot, lightning fast, detectors that have this same issue to varying degrees. I have to assume that the engineers are more than aware of it and it just isn't something that can be managed totally with detectors having these other desirable attributes. Whoever solves that first in a cost effective manner without sacrificing performance should enjoy a surge in profits I would think.

Think about what a coaxial coil could do

Hey Brad, is there anyway we could have this kind of cable changed over on a stock coinstrike coil? I find this post most interesting.

These are not as well known as other types these days but have intriguing characteristics.I use the 6" Eliminator coil on my IDX Pro and it is immune to any kind of RFI.That includes microwave towers,electric fences,other detectors and power lines.My Coinstrike`s greatest weakness is sensitivity to interference and this baby would solve that!If we only had it for Fishers.

the cable is the main culprit. If it were, I gotta bet they ( the mfg'ers) would have "fixed" that a long time ago.
