    need suggestions on old farm site

    Hi all. I was recently up in Wisconsin at an old farm house site. The farm site has an old, original log cabin on it, along with an old home. This is my fiance's great aunt's property. I spoke with her great aunt about the age of the property and she told me the log cabin goes back...

    Any Coinstrike or ID Edge users in the DuPage or Cook county Illinois areas?

    Hi All. I'm a Fisher Coinstrike and ID Edge newbie here. I've experimented around with them in the past by renting them from dealers. I would like to get serious with them though and learn them in better detail. I live in the DuPage county area, but I'm also not far from Cook county...

    Fisher Coinstrike video

    Hi Everyone. I have a Coinstrike and have been trying for a long time now to understand the threshold control and sensitivity settings on the machine, how to set them correctly. I have read that each one affects the other if not set correctly. So I was wondering if anyone could post a video...

    Is there a coinstrike video out there somewhere?

    Hi All. It's that time of year for me again, as I don't get out much to hunt due to college studies and looking for work now that I've been unemployed since 2009. I was wondering if there's a Coinstrike video floating around out there? I know there's an excellent tips page, but I'm more of the...

    What settings can be used for "cherry picking" with coinstrike?

    Hi All. I'm an amateur here using the Coinstrike this weekend up on an old farm, maybe dating to early 1900s. I mainly rent detectors from dealers to use, as I'm more of a "weekend detectorist" of sorts. I have a Coinstrike and I would like to just "cherry pick" high tones with it and leave it...

    Coinstrike and threshold control

    Hi All. I was talking with my Fisher dealer the other day about the Coinstrike and the threshold control. He explained that it was a control that worked in conjunction with the sensitivity control, but only in a way that it sets a "trigger-point" for the "size" of a target that will make the...

    I'm thinking about purchasing a used CZ 5.

    Hi All. I was talking with my fisher dealer by me and I asked him about the CZ 5. He told me it was one of the best fishers ever made and would easily suffice for me the next 10 to 20 years. It's also one of three machines he peronally uses in his own arsenal, and would never part ways with. I...

    I was wondering if someone could post an Intro. Coinstrike video?

    Hi All. I was wondering if someone could post an intro. "set-up" video for the Coinstrike? I have seen Bill Ladd's F5 video, and I think that was such an awesome idea. I think every detector should have such a set-up video. I'm no expert on video making, but I think youtube only allows about 10...

    Could someone help me understand Coinstrike settings?

    Hi All.I was wondering if someone could help me understand the threshold and sensitivity controls and how they work "together," and how to set them correctly, on the Coinstrike? I really need it explained in the most BASIC terms as possible...:) I would greatly appreciate it. I can give my phone...

    Coinstrike settings

    Hi Everybody. I got a coinstrike a little while back, and I'm finally taking it out again up to the family farm this weekend. I had a question about the Sensitivity and Threshold setting on this machine. I have to admit that I never really understood how to properly work with these settings on...

    All-metal mode and nulling

    Hi All. I just wanted some opinions from people on this forum about using all-metal versus some discrimination. I would like to tinker around with the all-metal mode when I head up to the farm next month, but I know about the barrage of tones you can get from this mode, especially in high trash...

I will be heading up again in april. The ground that I mention is where all my relatives and visitors have always parked...

    What signals should I dig in all-metal mode?

    Hi all. I've had my quattro for close to a year now. I've mostly used either coin or coin/jewelry factory modes with auto. sensitivity. I've always wanted to hunt in all-metal mode, to learn what I should dig and should'nt dig. But I've always been bombarded by different tones and signals. One...

    5 inch coils

    Hi All. I was just wondering if a 5 inch coil is worth purchasing? I own the quattro, and have the stock coil and the 8 inch coil for it. I have been told the 8 inch coil will be good enough in those high trash areas, and that the 5 inch coil will just collect dust sitting on my shelf from not...

    What size coil should I consider for hunting in woods?

    Hi all. I own the Quattro and I have the stock 10.5 inch coil and an 8 inch coil for it. I was going up to my uncle's farm this weekend to get some detecting in. He has an old homestead site on his land just below a small valley. I was down by it last year during the summer time and it was all...
