Coinstrike air test...

[MikeW]

For you coinstrike users, At sensivity 10 with foil and tabs disc out I get about 8 inches on a quarter with stock coil. Is this typical airtest? My Cs-1 probe only detects a dime at about an inch at same settings and maybe 1& 1/2 inches on a quarter. Wondering if Coinstrike could use a tuneup and do I need a new probe if I can find one.Thanks)

Mike, how are you doing with the CS in the field. I just bought one, got it yesterday and 5 hours later I had a headache. Took me 4 hours to learn that I must go thru every step in the Memory (1, 2, or 3) before I press the PP/MEM button to store any changes. Would like to hear a report on your progress. Dave

I have used the C$ for several years and have owned at least three in that time and none of them air tested well, don't know why but they just didn't. I do know, however, the C$ in real world hunting is much deeper. I have mild soil here, but I usually get dimes at the same depth that I air test quarters around 8" (sens. 8-10 and thresh. 0-2). I love mine and will always have one in my arsenal.

Ive had several myself in the past that went very deep. They also work very well in iron. I once got a merc with a glob of rust on the coin, good reading left to right but lousy reading at ninety degrees. Didnt get out last week, maybe this week)

Havent got out yet, hopefully this weekend. Im going back to the spot that I got the worn barber about a month ago with the cz3D.
