Coinmaster pro w/whites sharpshooter coil
September 09, 2017
Yesterday I visited a local park that is detected to death. You see them
coming and going daily. I used a Jimmy Sierra Big Foot coil with no
discrimination and max sensitivity in the volley ball sandpit. Other than
the spikes holding the boundary rope and aluminum trash around the outside,
not a hit. I picked up and disposed of a lot of little plastic trash.
Switched to a Sharpshooter coil using smart notch and multi tone and did about 15 x 100 foot strip of grass next to the pit and "BAM"! This is a trashy area but I got 18 shallow hits dug and had to pass all the deeper ones. A total of 44 cents modern, only on the surface. There is a no dig law in place so I only recovered 2 inch or less hits with a brass tipped probe.
My point is, this is a heavy traffic area for detectorist. They missed this stuff using what detector? It was not a Coinmaster Pro. The Coinmaster Pro is as good as you are, meaning you have to know your machine and yes, you will dig some junk. Coils make a difference also. A frequency is a frequency and that is all it can see and tell you. If you are getting random and strange signal turn it off and then on lower sensitivity a bit and try again. So sensitive cars and motorcycles 100's of ft away can sometimes interfere. Drop sens a notch or two, done.

They sure named this one right! When it hits, there is something there and
no static until it does. Hung up the XLT and took this one to a 70 year old
school ground today and really almost got tired of digging. I got about 30
to 40 coins in an hour from quarters to nickles and dimes and lots of
pennies. The thing loves coins!
I took it to an old civil war campsite last weekend and dug up 3 bullets and some buttons in less than an hour. Very impressive to say the least. And oh yea: Don't listen to those people who say it only goes 6 inches. 8 to 10 and who knows what if the ground was perfect!

Just got this cmp and well I was delighted with it on the first day out it
picked up everything apart from steel every signal was true and found a
very tiny button 7 inch down. I have been out with it now 5 times and all I
can say is who ever is knocking this machine must have got a fake because I
also have a XP Goldmaxx and to be honest out of the two the coin Master Pro
will be my first choice..
Its easy to use, light and wow when you get a signal you know you will find something apart from iron and steel.
The pin pointer is so true and it saves me digging large holes as I know when it says its there I can use my knife to find it. Well that is my view.

I have been metal detecting for close to thirty years and have owned ten
metal detectors of different manufacturers starting out with Compass Relic
Magnum as my first detector. The people who knock the Whites Coin Master
Pro either have a defective detector or they just don't know what there
doing. I would guess either there running there sensitivity to high for the
soil conditions or there not listening to what the detector is telling
them.
The Coin Master Pro is one of the better detectors out there in this price range. It is a excellent detector and very easy to set up and operate, Read the manual and practice and enjoy this great hobby.

Have two of them
January 01, 2015
My wife and I both have one of these and are happy with the way they work.
I have just bought the gamma 6000 because of the numeric display, and it
does work better in our area, east Texas But as far as the machine
coinmaster pro goes its great, no complaints at all, good batt life, good
depth and really nice id, built tough we use ours a lot, they have both
earned there value in finds, plus enough to replace both with newer vdi
units We coin hunt, not professional just fun. Find one on CL or ebay, good
price for the detector actually ours well be on there soon.

Brought this as my first machine 2 years ago and within the first 3 weeks
found a solid silver bracelet and many Georgian and Victorian pennys which
paid for the machine itself since then I've had 15 roman coins and broaches
bronze age axe head and many buckles from the past 500 years plus hundreds
of buttons so checking out where you detect helps a lot. So easy to use for
any beginner. Around here it's not easy to detect on local parks so
farmland is best. Yes it does give false readings and on certain areas you
will get some ghost signals but when your in a field in the middle of
nowhere you'll dig every signal.
As for depth I've had some good hits at over 12 inches some nice old pennys but also big lumps of iron which give off a good signal as will lead which end up in my scrap bucket so I still made some money from it which went towards a new bigger coil.
Batteries last for days and machine is light to handle. It's an American set machine that handles well over here. Not tried on a beach yet so not sure how it will cope. It's time for me too upgrade but will keep this as a backup machine.

I'm a newbee with these new discriminating metal detectors. So it took me
awhile to get used to the different modes. My beef is what a lot of other
people are complaining about the "discriminating mode". Even when I cancel
out all junk, iron, pulltabs, bottle caps, thin foil I'm still digging them
up 55-60 percent of the time. This to me is very aggravating. Other wise
it's a decent machine.

Cmp is not a bad detector
August 08, 2014
I used my coinmaster pro for 2 years. I have found nearly 30 gold rings in
those 2 years and I'm nowhere near a beach. Rings tend to show up as
nickels on it. The target ID system, while not perfect, is better than
you'd expect in this price range. The deeper the target, the lass accurate
the target ID is. After about 4 inches or so I'd suggest digging anything
above iron!
I see a lot of complaints about depth on here and while there is some truth to that, I do find the occasional deep coin. I found a 1903 penny at 8" and it's in very nice condition! I was only discriminating out iron and my sensitivity was one bar below max using the stock coil.
You can find my finds on the popular metal detecting forums and they are proof that the machine isn't a joke.

You don't know metal detectors
June 25, 2014
Commenting on my friend from Spain review. I have tried the cmp in every
mode it has. In parks, ghost towns beaches just about every possible place
a person can metal detect with hope of proving to myself that I didn't just
throw $300.00 away.
For two years a nd various emails and calls to whites. I had to come to this conclusion. The cmp is a worthless price of crap. It gives false signals that will have you chasing ghost. I'm post this review to try and save someone else the heartache of wasting $300.00. If 300.00 dollars is all a person can afford then I suggest they purchase one of the bounty hunter machines. They can get the same results for a lot less money. I have no reason to lie or miss lead anyone. I just don't want to see someone make the same mistake I did. I saved my money and purchased a used minelab explorer. I just couldn't bring myself to purchase another whites product after the experience I had with the cmp.
Guys don't waste your money and don't believe some of the hype your reading here on some of these reviews. Most are from people that have been metal detecting for a little while. Trust me you will learn to hate the cmp it's a total piece of crap!!!!!!

Hello fellow fans. I wanted to make clear the previous comment that pulls
on the floor this listener. I have this detector and it works perfectly, is
simple in operation, discriminates quite well and as I find the only
drawback armrest is very weak, and I had to repair it twice. With a coil
SEF 12X10 Butterfly, famously operates perfectly absorbs ground minerals
and salt from the beach.
Deep gaining somewhat more difficult, but the exact location of the target. In my humble opinion, this detector is a good device, reaching a depth of 30mm copper coin about 25cm with SEF butterfly plate. I think the previous review is made simply to harm the brand or have purchased a defective device. I do not want to offend anyone with my review, I just tell the truth on the device that I have. I use it almost all the time on the beach and to use a detector inside C.Scope R1. Regards to all.
