Well, I got the new Coinstrike out yesterday for some 32% diggin' before the snow. Previously, I had taken it to a old horse racetrack and dug a lot of junk and screwcaps and was seriouslt thinking Ebay but I did dig a VERY deep Wheatie before I left that piqued my curiosity. I took it yesterday to an old park that was originally the "center" downtown park of a small rural town before fire destroyed the whole downtown many years ago. To look at it it seems a "new" park, but has produced oodles of old silver and goodies over the last few years. The great thing is everything is DEEP! I am talking 9+ inches on average for the old stuff. I set my Strike at sensitivity 6 and threshhold -5 and got at it. I was also using my new Gray Ghost Ultimate headphones I splurged for and my god! What a difference from the junk I always wore before. Great tone, great fit and totally isolates you from your surroundings. Anyway, the first coin was a memorial cent at 8 inches (dirt filled around the basketball court) and 2 other wheats all early teens and an Indian Head penny at 7 inches. The kicker..all fairly loud, semi-repeatable signals with very little ID "shifting" from sweep to sweep. The give away for a coin over foil or junk is the pinpoint. A coin is LOUD and appears "large" on the pinpoint. I find if it is wavering or broken upon pinpoint or sounds "mushy" it's junk, and I dug quite a few to make dang sure. Here's the best part. I received a good signal around the 30's mark. Good, solid pinpoint too. Dug out a 7 inch plug as my digging knife is a 10 inch bladed bowie)and went over the hole..still good and know even stronger at mid 30's! Getting excited! Dug out to 8 inches..still in the hole...dug to 10 inches and it was in the dirt. It wasn't silver guys as I bet you were expecting. What it was was a real testament for this machine. Take a dime, cut it in half or maybe even smaller, add a little thickness, not much, and you have the small piece of lead "sliver" that this detector hit at over 10 inches! No bull! I will find more coins with this machine than I found with my CZ5 after I tweek out a few more hours with it. If you have a good coin machine you have to dig deep lead or small iron junk! I feel a lot better if I am than not. Sooner or later, out pops that silver dime or quarter at 9 or 10 inches and you forget the pieces of lead and .22 caliber pistol cases! See you in the field! I will be the one smilin' I promise!
