Got the Coinstrike back and took it to a pounded park.
Hey all, I took the Coinstrike out to the park/campground that I always hunt. I went really slow and listened for good tones. I also found a 1927 Wheatie. I'm telling you, the Coinstrike is very underrated.
Why do they call it "Taking a dump" when you're actually leaving one?

Two mercs is a great day in my book! I also have a Coinstrike, but have only used it for beach white sand hunting here in the west coast beaches. I'm curious on the depth of those merc dimes in a park environment?

The 1920-D Merc that I got today was an easy 7 inches. The other ones were between 3-5 inches. The Coinstrike gets great target separation even with the stock coil which I have on it right now. I just go slow, listen for high tones and then just move the coil about an inch or two each way and don't even bother with the pinpoint button. Where it really shines is on old zinc and copper though in my opinion.

Fishers old and new are good machines. I'm using an Omega, and all of them are good at picking up our modern trash (CAN) coinage, while others struggle to do so. And have special names on thier machines, when supposedly designed to do that specifically. (BTW to be fair our 2002 and newer coins are junk, and should be IDed as such...I've found them less than 10 years old with holes rotted right through them... at what point in the disentragration process do you stop calling a coin a coin, and calling it a piece of junk ? )
Anyway 2 silvers in a hunted park...your doing all right. No problem with your machine.

How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'
A real man thinks about detecting every 6 seconds.
