” FAST AUTO-GROUND TRACKING:
To take advantage of the fast auto-ground tracking system of the
Coin Strike, start by using the automatic ground balance procedure
just described. Then, simply press the TRACK button on the panel
to allow the Coin Strike to automatically adjust to changing ground
conditions. Notice that the “TRACK” icon will be active on the display
when the tracking system is ON. The Coin Strike system provides a
superior tracking system that will “track” only on mineralized soils
and hot rocks — not on actual targets themselves.
Also, note that the unit can be auto-ground balanced at any
time while in the tracking mode for faster, easier hunting. This can
be done by lowering the coil to the ground, pausing for about 2
seconds, then lifting the search coil about 6 inches and waiting
for the tone to signal completion of the automatic balancing.
It is very helpful to set the controls of your Coin Strike for the most stable
tracking performance. If you are hunting in mineralized soil, we suggest
setting the Threshold control to –5, -10, or even lower. We also suggest
setting the Sensitivity control to 5, 4, or lower. If you experience unstable
tracking performance, please adjust these controls accordingly. And
remember that the Coin Strike still has excellent performance with
these lower settings — you will recover good targets with smooth,
trouble-free operation — use this to your advantage!
WET SAND (BEACH) HUNTING
The Coin Strike allows beach hunters 2 choices for detecting in
wet sand.
1. If hunting in nonmagnetic wet sand (salt water beach with
no black sand), use the SALT mode feature described on page
8. Be sure to activate the SALT mode (S1) before you select the
THRESHOLD and SENSITIVITY settings, and before you auto-ground
balance the detector.
2. If hunting on wet black sand beaches, better results are
obtained by turning OFF the SALT mode (SO). In these conditions,
adjust the SENS to 3 or lower, and the THRESH to -10 or lower. Then,
auto-ground balance the detector and turn ON the auto ground
tracking system (Fisher Trak). The tracking system should allow you
to enter and exit the wet, salt sand without false signals if the SENS
and THRESH are set up properly.
