Page 4: Setting Up
SETTING UP Your Fisher Coin Strike is built to last for years. However, it’s a sophisticated electronic instrument containing state-of-the-art components. Handle it carefully, care for it regularly, and it will give you years of dependable service. The Coin Strike requires little assembly. - Page 5 SETTING UP holes in the center stem. The coil angle is adjusted by loosening the nylon wing nut on top of the search coil. NOTE: Remember, the longer the shaft, the more you’ll have to bend your elbow to keep the coil off the ground and the sooner your arm will get tired.
- Page 6 SETTING UP 5. Reconnect the coil cable to the control housing. Be careful not to cross thread it and make sure it’s snug, but hand tightened only. 6. With the shaft length and coil angle properly adjusted, you should be able to move into your search position by leaning forward very slightly and raising the angle so the coil rests flat on the ground about 6 to 12 inches in front of your arm.

Page 12: Quick Start Guide
We strongly encourage you to thoroughly read and understand everything in this operation manual prior to using your new Fisher Coin Strike. This will enable you to obtain the optimum performance when you detect. However, we can provide a few quick suggestions that can help you get started. -
Page 13: Tone Audio System
4 TONE AUDIO SYSTEM The four-tone audio system provides you with more information per sweep, acting as a target I.D. system in the “discrimination” mode. While sweeping the Coin Strike search coil over a target, you will hear one of four tones: LOW TONE = Iron objects (ferrous) LOW/MID TONE = Foil, Nickel, Round Tabs MID/HIGH TONE = Square Tabs, Zinc Pennies... -
Page 14: Lcd Identification Sysytem
LCD IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM The LCD will also show you an indication of the type of target you have found, in conjunction with the audio tones, by showing you a number preceded by a “-” or “+” sign. The target identification system works as follows: When in either search mode (ALL METAL or DISC), a target will produce a number between 0 and 99 indicating target type. -
Page 15: Precsion Visual Pinpointing
Precision Visual Pinpointing When the P/P button is pushed and held, the non-motion pinpoint mode is activated. This pinpoint mode may be familiar in some ways (when the target is approached, the audio intensity increases), but different in others (the digital numeric indicator). The two digit (0-99) LCD will help you to accurately pinpoint your target by increasing in value as the center of the target is approached. -
Page 16: Ground Balancing/Tracking
GROUND BALANCING/TRACKING The Coin Strike offers three options for handling the soil mineralization you may encounter. Our new auto-ground balance system and our FisherTrak ground tracking system are made possible by our (Adaptive Feedback System) technology. © AUTO GROUND BALANCE: The precision automatic ground balance system will provide ground balance accuracy that exceeds any setting achieved manually. -

FISHERTRAK AFS © “FisherTRAK ” FAST AUTO-GROUND TRACKING: © To take advantage of the fast auto-ground tracking system of the Coin Strike, start by using the automatic ground balance procedure just described. Then, simply press the TRACK button on the panel to allow the Coin Strike to automatically adjust to changing ground conditions. -

THRESH to -10 or lower. Then, auto-ground balance the detector and turn ON the auto ground tracking system (Fisher Trak). The tracking system should allow you enter and exit the wet, salt sand without false signals if the SENS and THRESH are set up properly. -
Page 19: Setting Memory Control
SETTING MEMORY CONTROL Your new Coin Strike provides you with 3 memory locations to store your favorite control settings. These memory locations will store the Iron DISC level, THRESHOLD level, SENSITIVITY level, and NOTCH disc. Please note that the SALT Mode and VOLUME level will not be stored. -

Page 21: Searching
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. - Page 22 SEARCHING 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.

Page 23: Battery Replacement
BATTERY REPLACEMENT Two 9-volt transistor batteries are located in separate compartments on the underside of the control housing. When you first turn on your detector you will see your battery level. It flashes for 3 seconds. A reading of 9V means you have maximum battery life. A reading of 6V indicates that you have approximately 11/2 to 1 hour left of battery life. -
Page 24: Target Recovery
TARGET RECOVERY Once you have identified and pinpointed your target, your objective is to recover it quickly and neatly, leaving virtually no trace of your excavation. There are almost as many ways to do this as there are Treasure Hunters. Whatever works for you is good enough as long as you don’t break any laws, damage vegetation, or leave uncovered holes. -
Page 25: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE Your Coin Strike doesn’t require a lot of care. It’s built with high- quality materials and it’s splashproof and dustproof. But there are a few things you should do to keep it in peak operating condition. 1. If you’re not going to be using it for a while, take the batteries out. -
