Fisher Coin Strike Metal Detector
Keep Your Technique Simple With The Fisher Coin Strike
Like most Fisher metal detectors, the Coin Strike very simple to use. I actually like to pick my setting and then just leave it on that setting. I rarely stray away from these pre-chosen settings. I don't worry about changing these settings because they work great in my hunting grounds. This detector can find your targets from several different angles of approach.
Tones and Depth
On your first sweep across you can typically expect to hear a high tone indicating that you have found something. Thinking you have found something exciting, you start to dig and unearth a pull tab. However, if you check again coming in from a 90 degree angle and the numbers remain consistent, you will almost always find that you have unearthed a coin.
This advice will help you operate any metal detector, but with the CS it is particularly important to remember. If the tone changes as you approach from that 90 degree angle you can expect that what is buried there is nothing but trash.
On many occasions, I have found coins that are 8 inches deep, and have found some that were even deeper than 8 inches. When you are sweeping the detector, use slow movements and do not worry about any banger signals. If the signal indicates that you should go deep, is consistent from different angles and has a number of 18 or 19; it is probably a coin and it's time to start digging.
You can also open the plug and repeat the scan. If you have found a good coin, that tone will be consistent and the number will go up. Of course, no detector can accurately pinpoint deep coins all the time.
Tips for Using the Fisher Coin Strike
Here is another method you can keep in mind. Instead of notching anything, go out with a slow, sweeping movement into the heaviest trash. You will hear a lot of noise; what you are really listening for is the high tones. When you sweep slowly, you will find that you are better able to separate the treasures from the junk, even when you are dealing with deeply buried items. People who prefer silent search will not be happy with this method. But if you can get used to the noise, you will begin to uncover exciting things.
Several weeks ago I went hunting in a park pavilion that is notorious for being filled with trash. Yet I pulled up two indian heads, two old wheats and was really excited to find a barber dime. This is a spot that I have gone over with other detectors; including Explorers, DFX's, CS's and CZ's. These coins were all between seven and eight inches deep; and to get to them I had to move a lot of trash.
These coins all repeated in tone and the number readout was in the 30's. This is by far the best detector I have used where pinpointing is concerned. Choosing to hunt with the all metal setting can be really exciting if you are working in an area that is reasonably clean. As with the other setting, you want to sweep slowly if you want to find the deeper coins.
You will see numbers given in all metal, but there will only be one single tone. I think most people just don't understand the Coin Strike metal detector, or its capabilities. When you keep it simple you will have more success, and don't get too worked up about anything.
