Question(s)
Is there such a thing as a five inch CZ Quicksilver "Double D" search coil and if so... how well does this coil operated when compared to the standard concentric CZ coil?

Thanks in advance,

I think it's very beneficial to hear what you are not looking for as much as what you are looking for...with the tone break we are now able to slow down it the thicker machine gun type iron that in a 1 tone mode would go unnoticed ...Remember Rust is a Must to produce!!!!!

maybe it can helps some one who's wondering about the disc mode..

Admittedly most areas we consider high trash probably allow most if not eveything the detector sees to come thru but on the co-located targets and areas with targets thick enough to 'give machine gun' type audio responses does the difference between the comparatively long audio response length and short lag co-efficient require consideration on an engineers part?

"deeper" I have heard of some getting 11-12 inches with these setting ...... this is all with a 8 inch coil. SO THEN, I turned up sens to 7 and got a dime at 10 inches... Also on my 1121 CZ-3D it was very chatter even if I thought about a sens setting of 5???? and with the 1121, I pulled a copper coin the size of a quarter out from a hole deeper than my lesch.... Hmmmmmm : )

ground to 10
disc to 0
sens to 4.8
mode is enhanced
vol @ 10
7-8 inch dept on dime..... :(

I like the five year guarantee the Fisher has along with it's light weight. It also looks easier to program than the others. The Fisher also seems to have a lot of knowledgable users on forums that are willing to help others learn the detector.
I guess my main concern is if the Fisher can pick up silver as deep as the other two. I have also heard complaints that the Fisher is noisy.
I notice some of you have two or maybe all three of the above detectors. Based on your experience, which one would you recomend.
My main use would be coins and relics, and I have a lot of trashy areas I would like to check out.
Thanks for any help you can give.]]> dutchman Thomas Dankowski Open Forum Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:57:56 -0400 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,8997,8997#msg-8997 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,8997,8997#msg-8997
Usually motion all-metal is just that - a completely separate mode independent of other settings. But from what I've read, the LTD utilizes this setting (and possible some others?) when you switch to the all-metal mode.

I admit I'm somewhat new to this machine, but personally, I've not heard much difference when I change the processes and return to motion all-metal. Have any of you noticed a marked difference when switching these modes in motion all-metal? And would the functionality of each mode be identical in either mode?

Lastly, if you're going after very deep targets (which is most of the time), under what conditions would you NOT want to use bP or CL in motion all-metal, and where would you set it - dE or does it matter?

What bothered me the most was that he said that his Omega would hit it really good (he didn't have it at home that day so we couldn't compare). so I started to think something might be off with mine but he called me last week to tell me what the problem was.

He took his back out there, got a good GB and could hit it really good using the 10' coil BUT if he changed sensitivity he would lose it until he tweaked the GB. He said that the GB changed when he changed the Sensitivity and unless the GB was just right the bullet would disappear.... so i'm thinking that maybe we need to be checking the GB often when using the Omega and resetting it everytime we change the sensitivity.

Has anyone else noticed anything like this? I'm glad he has this known target that has been in the ground for so long... otherwise I wouldn't know to check this.

What I find interesting is that FT's trend seems to be focused on building the best relic machines out there....I'd love to see them focus specifically on making the best coin shooter out there...something along the lines of an Omega with boost mode, trigger and a backlight... the O8 is definitely hotter on silver then my F75 LTD, unfortunately it's not as deep.

I know I'm dreaming.....but still :)]]> Cal_cobra Thomas Dankowski Open Forum Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:46:36 -0400 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,8937,8937#msg-8937 http://www.dankowskidetectors.com/discussions/read.php?2,8937,8937#msg-8937
