Took coinstrike out for first time ever!!!
Funny thing is this is the second one I have owned..First one I traded it for a different detector and did not even try it before trading it.It looked like a digital Cz to me.Thought must not be very good..Boy was I wrong!!!!
I really do not know what I am doing yet but this is how it went.
Placed 5" coil on machine.Went to old park area in our metro park system early 1900 area.before that fishing spot, and who knows what else.
This area is littered with a lot of junk, pull tabs and iron. Have tried several other brand detectors and could not hunt this area for the junk(Honest) really bad.
Did not do well with a Minelab there either. Turned on machine started hunting very quiet, wondered if it was on..I was using preset or FP on the screen.
Then hit a target 34 reading wow Wheat cent and found another a few feet away.. Then I remembered I did not ground balance the machine.Forgot all about it.
I just kept hunting I could not remember how to do it. Listed below is my results..
1-1934 wheat
1 1979 dime
1 1936 wheat
1 button
1 1971 memorial
1 1940 wheat
1 1947 wheat
1 1946 wheat
Best find ...............1 1887 Indian head cent...................in middle of pic...... Guess I should have used the other coinstrike
machine worked like a charm 7 8" inches in depth with 5" coil "Wow" stable and I really did not dig very much junk and 0 iron thats right 0 iron
