    Initial C$ experience is a positive one

    I don't like the Coinstrike. I LOVE the Coinstrike! I got out for about 3 hours Saturday prior to the Penn State game. I actually missed the first quarter (of the game). I went to a wide open group of soccer fields, so the trash would be RELATIVELY low and set the machine up with pretty...

    Question for Bill Ladd 525

    Hi, I'm a virginal user of the C$ (in fact I don't even HAVE it yet - hopefully arrives tomorrow). I HAVE been doing a lot of reading on it's use and settings though (including the manual). I was hoping you could help me understand the 525 setup that you're associated with. In fact, the whole...

    Guvner?

    Hi, I've been trying to read old posts on the Fisher C$ classroom forum and everytime I "return to Message index" it takes me back to page one. It's not a big deal until you try to start on Page 10 and work your way to the more recent messages. I believe it does the same thing in other forums as...

    Newbie needs a primer

    Hi All, I'm just returning to metal detecting after a 30+ year hiatus. While laid up with some medical issues I read several books on the local history (cental Penna) and decided to return to the hobby. Now that I have a couple of detectors and some coins under my belt (so to speak), I'm...

    VALID info on the Coinstrike?

    I'm looking at a trade for a Coinstrike, but know very little about it. Any and all info from people who've actually had a Coinstrike in their hands would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance, Tagamet

    GTI first session.

    Hi all, I took the Garrett 1500 out for the first time last night and used John's favorite settings. I was searching a playgound that's no longer in use. I need a little help here. It seems like everytime I heard a repeatable belltone there was definitely a coin there. Sometimes the belltone...

    Is that the phone or my 1500?

    I (literally) only had 5 minutes to give my previously loved Garrett 1500 a test drive today at lunch. Using the factory settings (held down the power key) I got a "bong, bong, bong, bong...." sound. I know someone here mentioned a "Phone ringing" sound, but can't remember what it was supposed...

    What year(s) did they switch to clad?

    Anyone have a site that says what years they went to clad for each US coin denomination? Thanks in advance, Tagamet

    Advice on Target ID machine

    Hi, I'm looking for advice on which metal detector with target ID represents a good balance between low (or no) learning curve (read dummy here), works in trashy areas, and basically finds at least coins (as opposed to fliptabs and nails). Does such a beast exist? If so, who makes it and what's...

    What's your favorite handheld pinpointing device and why?

    I'm currently using a VibroProbe, but given that I have no experience with any other probes, I thought I'd post here for opinions/experiences. I'm using a Tesoro Tejon MD, so I'm seeking info on handheld pinpointing devices. Thanks in advance, Larry

    Central Pa military relics?

    Hi, I'm just getting back into the hobby after a 3 decade hiatus. I'm located in central Pennsylvania right next to absolutely nowhere (Lock Haven, I'm 30 miles north of PSU, 30 miles west of Williamsport). The closest thing to military engagements in my research have been militia skirmishes...

    Doesn't Tesoro acknowledge receipt of machines?

    Nope! It just turns out that they just FIX 'EM QUICK AND GET THEM BACK OUT! Thanks so much, Tesoro (and Heidi)! Your service department got my machine IN on Thursday and OUT again on Friday (ONE DAY)! Now that's service you should be bragging on (and I should be smacked for even thinking such...

    Anyone know where Hiedi Went?

    I sent her a PM several days ago about a non-functional Tejon right out of the box, She replied promply ans sympathetically, but now it appears that it may have been a "canned" response on how to return the unit. When I followed up twice in the next two days, she hasn't replied (nor the messages...

    Advice on new unit choice?

    Hi all, I'm in the process of researching metal detectors after being away from the hobby for about 30 years. Things sure have changed! I live in central Penna in an area rich in historical value, (Native Americans, Timber camps, early settlers, PA canal system, etc.) I won't be "prospecting"...
