CONTROL PANEL
The Coin Strike control panel is an all new digital I/O System. The
LCD Display provides you with a constant control readout showing
you all of your current settings, much like the knobs of an older
-style metal detector.
1. The POWER button turns the unit ON and OFF. One of the rst
things you will notice when you turn on your Coin Strike is the
battery level display. Fresh batteries will show 9 volts; when the
battery level is down to 6 volts, you have about an hour of battery
life left. The detector will not turn on if the search coil is not properly
connected. This can prove to be a timesaving safeguard.
2. The LIGHT button enables you to use your back light for hunting
in dim light situations.
3. The MENU button enables you to enter the “menu mode”, in
which you can adjust any of seven controls with the UP/DOWN
arrow buttons: the iron discrimination level, the threshold level,
the sensitivity level, a wet sand “salt” mode, the volume level, four
independent disc. notches, and the saving or recall of 4 control
setups (including a factory preset mode) with our memory feature.
Notice that when the MENU button is pushed, the active control
blinks — this is the control that can be adjusted with the UP or
DOWN arrow buttons. To move to the next control, just press the

SEARCHING
Good search techniques are every bit as important as having a
good detector.
1. Once your controls are properly set, press and
release the P/P touch pad, and move into your
search position. Begin your search by walking slowly
and sweeping the search coil in a tight semicircle.
2. Keep the coil parallel to the ground and as
close to the ground as practical. This is extremely
important for maximum coverage and depth. If
you’re searching on a lawn, you may set the coil
right on the grass and lightly “scrub it.”
3. Overlap your sweeps by at least 50 percent.
Remember that your coil’s search pattern in conical
and if you don’t overlap each sweep you’ll miss the
deeper targets.
4. Search in a methodical manner. Pay close
attention to where you’re going and where you’ve
been so that you don’t retrace your steps or miss
any productive areas.
Keep the search coil
as close to the ground
as possible for greater
penetration, and make
sure the search coil
remains parallel to the
ground as you search.
