I have about 12 hours use on the C$ so far and not sure about whether I like the machine or not. Its seems to be awfully noisey in descriminate mode and it wouldn't even hit on a penny that was laying on the ground, which was disappointing. Maybe I'm not doing something right, but I will give it a little more time.
Not sure about this machine yet?

I found the detector to be unstable (noisy, numbers jumping around)while searching for relics in the all metal mode in heavey iron minerals. Discrimination was excellent in iron infested house sites, however the instruction manual was very vague on how to operate the detector. It will hunt a wet salt water beach but the Cz will find targets deeper. Detector is made very well.

This one at 99 is iron happy, rusty bottle caps (pre 1955) read 26 to 28 four way high, pieces of cans read high 30s four ways, small pieces of rusty metal read 30 to 32 four way high. I can forfeit quarters and a chance at a half by ignoring the 30s. Something isn't right!
Maybe all Coinstrikes aren't created equal, this is a new one and it certainly mirrors some of the early complaints. When out of the ground most of the dug junk continues to have 4 way highs, it would seem that all 99s are not the same. This continued with sensitivity at 3 and threshold at -40, I was not balanced over iron, tracking and averaging was off, coin depth at these settings was about 4".
I also carried a CZ5 and a Mr. Bill modified Classic ID to double check with, except for very large pieces the 30s on the C$ was rejected by both detectors.
This ground is slightly mineralized, it balances on the CZ at pre-set.
This may be a good machine for relics but for coins in junk it is worthless!
