What detector is the absolute best and accurate coinshooter!!!!!

[Youngladd]

I am saving up for my next detector, I research old sites and strictly coinshoot, I dont like diggin up garbage, so I normally try to profile my target as a coin size object that is non ferrous before digging and I use other techniques. What i am looking for is the best detector for the job and i will learn and/or program the detector to maximize my coin finds.

I don't think there is such an animal. What I like to use and am proficient with you might find hard to use or a waste of time. There are people out there that still have the clock on the VCR blinking. People have their preferences and what works great in one area of the country, sucks in another.

 

[Youngladd]

Yes

What brand is "YES"

 

[Youngladd]

YES

Again What brand is "YES"

I live in the midwest and I coinshoot and I can adapt(set the clock on the VCR too!) based on that are all machines equal? or should I just pick one based on cost?

"Yes" means everyone who replies will tell you theirs is the best... because no matter what your using or like it is prolly as good as it needs to be.

Here is a pile of reviews as well... http://metaldetectorreviews.net/

BHs routinelly have great depth and accuracy... suprisingly so, do you feel like your missing out on coins or something?

I can give you advice based on my past experiences with the DFX, Explorer II, Quattro, Coinstrike and Classic III SL.

Of the above mentioned you will dig less trash while getting maximum depth with the Explorer II.

Youngladd, with the quality of the machines being made today, it doesn`t boil down to the machine it is the user behind the machine decyphering what the machine is telling them. I have seen people using ancient machines clean out areas that others though were empty basically because those people knew exactly what there machine was saying to them. Get the machine you can afford and learn it inside out front to back and everywhere inbetween and you will come out ahead of the game. Then later if you need a better machine upgrade. Knowledge is what finds coins and items buried in the ground, not the latest gizmo or detector. Just like in everything else quality cost more money most of the machines in the thousand $$ range will help you the most in finding buried items, BUT only after you have the knowledge to know what it is saying to you.

You still use a VCR?

Probably my IDX Pro over in the classifieds

I undrstand what you are saying but Please put all your assumptions aside. let me worry about my skill knowlege and technique. Regardless of what anybody says I am convinced that my $100 BH is not the machine that I would like to become proficient at. I can become proficient at any machine i put my hands on. If I am going to marry my machine I want the best i can get and I WILL become proficient with that machine. Some of you have bought thousand dollar machines all machines are not equal. I need a good coinshooter with lots of bells and whistles. Your thoughts

Here are all the opinions of the folks who have opinions and already shared them... I'm not making assumption about your research ability, just getting you closer to some other's opinions of their coinshootin' machines.

 

[Sandman]

If you want the most detector for the money, I suggest the DFX or Explorer SE. I lean toward the SE because of the DD coil and little extra depth I believe it has on the DFX. Plus I have had good luck with it an playing with all the features. The object is to have fun detecting. Using a smaller coil will allow you to cherry pick between the junk.

An yes I still have a VCR, and 8 track too.

Finding and hunting old sites for coins is my favorite thing to do. Depending on the site and how much time I have to spend, I may dig it all or just go for the signals that may be higher conductive coins. Iron is our enemy at older sites so a good fast machine is what I look for. I have used Minelabs multi-freq and Fisher CZ's in the past but do not care for the slow sweep they require. I much prefer the newer faster motion machines like the Fisher Coinstrike and ID Edge. The Minelab Advantage is also a favorite for plucking coins out of iron. What I really want to check out in the near future is the new Fisher F-75. All the reports so far are very positive on its ability to find stuff in iron... Sounds like my dream machine.

OH cmon now lets keep it friendly, I am just trying to get the info, didnt mean to offend ya. If you dont want to help thats OK no problem. I am still entertained by your posts

I like the EX 2 and have 2 of them but I guess the SE is a bit better. I use a DFX and CZ7a pro for backups or when the situation calls for me to use them. Excals for the water. But, as people have said ,you have to LEARN your machine to get the most out of it-hours & hours & hours...
