a. Whenin theMENU mode,the Iron DISCcontrol
can be varied from 0 to 99 with the UP and DOWN
arrowbuttons. A 0discrimination settingwill allowall

fully discriminates out most iron targets, allowing only
nonferrous objects to activate the tone I.D. in Disc
mode.When hunting, you will choose an optimal
discriminationsetting between0 and 99that allows
you to ignore most of the iron trash in your hunting
area,withoutgiving upanygood targets. Alsonotice

whether you are in the MENU mode or the search
mode.
b. The THRESHOLD control is best understood as
settinga“trigger”pointfor receivedsignalstoexceed
(and be acknowledged) or fall short of (and be
ignored). This control can be adjusted with the arrow
buttons between -99 (higher trigger = less excitable)
and +4 (low trigger = more excitable). There are a
couple of considerations in choosing a threshold
setting: 1) If you prefer to have an audio threshold
tonepresentwhilehunting,choose asettingbetween
0and +4. This willallow your Coin Strike to react tothe
tiniest targets in a low mineralization environment. 2)
However, if you plan to utilize the fast automatic
ground tracking feature of the Coin Strike, set the
threshold to a -5 or -10 setting for stable tracking
performance (and even lower in harshly mineralized
soils).
c. The SENSITIVITY control can be varied from a setting
of 0 to a maximum of 10 with the arrow buttons when
the SENS icon is flashing. As with most detectors, set
the sensitivity higher for best depth performance in
soilsthatarelowinmineralization. Asthemineralization

recommend a sensitivity setting of 4 or lower for the
moststableperformanceif the fastautomaticground
tracking is enabled. Please note that a SENS setting
of 0 or 1 will still yield excellent results.
