1. Disconnect the cable from the control housing
and unwind all but the last 12 inches or so from the
stem. Secure the lower end of the cable with a
Velcro strap at least 12 inches up from the coil.
2. Remove the control housing from the pistol grip
by holding the grip with one hand and sliding the
housing toward you with the other hand.
3. Attach the belt clip to the control housing by
slipping it over the brass posts on the bottom of the
control housing and pulling it toward the control
panel to lock it in place.
4. Reconnect the cable to the control housing.
5. The control housing can then be mounted on your
belt or on the optional Fisher Chest Harness.
It is especially important that the cable connector be installed
tightly to prevent false signals during body-mount use. Tight, but
never tightened with anything but your hands.
BODY/CHEST MOUNT
SEARCHING
The conical search
pattern of the Coin
Strike search coil
means you’ll get better
ground penetration and
coverage by overlapping
your sweeps.
5. Keep the search coil moving at a comfortable
rate.
6. Take your time. If you walk too fast you can
overlap your sweeps and you’ll miss a lot of ground.
If you swing your coil too fast, you could lose some
sensitivity to deep and/or small targets.
7. The illustration below shows the Coin Strike search
coil pattern and how it is effected by s weep speed,
ground mineralization and search mode.
1. Minimum depth
a. Very slow or very fast sweep speed
b. Highly mineralized soil.
2. Good depth
a. Moderate sweep speed
b. Moderately mineralized soil
3. Maximum depth
a. Moderate sweep speed
b. Non-mineralized soil
4. Missed target
Many targets well within the range of
your Coin Strike will not be detected
unless you overlap your sweeps.

Unlike other metal detectors, the discrimination settings have little if any effect
on the depth capability of the Coin Strike. Depth is also determined by the
size, shape and conductivity of the target as well as the sensitivity setting of
the Coin Strike.
