I have Bruce Meeds to thank for getting me started metal detecting many years ago. It has proven to be the most interesting and rewarding hobby I have ever pursued.
This
is the latest addition to the arsenal, a
Fisher Coin Strike.
Fishers the latest technology, using DPA ( Digital Phase Analysis ). This detector also incorporates a digital readout related to the item detected, with a scale of numbers assigned to different types of metal. It is strikingly different than the CZ 7a. It is VERY sensitive, and has a full range of adjustments that allow you to "fine tune" it to any search conditions.
My
backup detector, the Fisher CZ 7a Pro,
was purchased from KellyCo
in Florida. This detector has now been upgraded to the CZ 70 by Fisher, with
added capabilities.
Recently I purchased a small "hockey puck" coil, and a larger 10.5 inch coil for this detector. The small coil gives me added capabilities detecting in junk infested areas, allowing me to pick up good signals that are located close to trash metals. while the larger coil allows me to search wide open areas more efficiently.
My first metal detector, a Garrett 500
The first detector I purchased for $200.00 used from an older gentleman
over 10 years ago.
I say used, however he had used it but little. In fact, it still had the
original batteries, the original carton, and the coil cover only had
one scratch on it! I used that detector ( a Garrett 500 ) extensively
through that first summer and on into the fall, and by October of the same year,
I had found enough lost coins to pay for the machine. That's not to mention all
the rings, toys, and just miscellaneous interesting things I came up with.
If you really want to look at an assortment of metal detecting finds, click on this link to pop you up to the links at the top of the page. All kinds of things from ski pins, soccer pins, earrings, bracelet charms, coins, tokens, etc. with descriptions and info on where and when I found them.
Now I have infected my oldest son with the bug, and he uses the Garrett.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the Fisher CoinStrike, CZ 7a PRO or the Garrett 500, send me an E-Mail. I would get a kick out of hearing from you.
