    Turning into a junkie

    Man, I just bought another CZ. I was a long time *^%^&*(( user for over 30 years when I bought my first CZ3d. It wasn't an early one, but I bought it new and it had the five year warranty. I liked it, ok, I loved it. I thought I had to have vdi, so I bought an F70 too. Then, I heard how...

    Fisher rescues my broken CZ 70

    I posted below, how my newly acquired CZ 70 snapped in half the first day in California. My hasty conversion to an emergency hip mount worked well enough to find a sweet wedding band but I wanted a new handle. Just got off the phone with Fisher. The handles are available and they were an...

    My CZ 70 snapped in half today!

    OK, I admit it was an ebay detector. I bought it to hunt beaches during my California vacation. I had put it together, tested it, but never used it before the trip. The first time I used it I felt some flex, thought the collars were loose. I found out the pistol grip was cracked at the base...

    F75 LTD becoming a clad magnet

    Most of you guys know I had trouble embracing the LTD. I had mixed luck with it and had a tendency to pick up the CZ3d instead of the F75. Well lately, I have been leaving the CZ at home to make myself get better with the LTD. I started having great success with the small coil and about a...

    Airline travel and metal detectors

    I am planning a trip this summer and hoped to take a metal detector along. I wondered if anyone has traveled lately with a machine and could share their thoughts. I wondered about carrying it on? I know the sizes have changed lately but wasn't sure if I could knock the unit down enough to...

    Starting To Bond With LTD

    Well, my plan to leave my CZ at home for the last two weeks is starting to pay off. I have been using the LTD or nothing at all lately. Today, in a farmhouse yard I had a perfect day. I started early and found all of this in about an hour and a half. I was happy with these finds but plan to...

    Couldn't Get Permission To Hunt

    I have been trying to catch one of my neighbors home all spring to ask about hunting his yard. I had some inside info that told me it would be a good candidate for some 50's silver. I finally saw him outside tonight and stopped to ask. He hesitated, but told me no. He said he had his own...

    Ok seriously, They weren't kidding - lose the cell phone

    I have been having a tough time with my F75 LTD this spring. I was more comfortable with my CZ3 and it was hitting stuff left and right. The F75 was finding modern clad, shallow. I was not happy. I tried different settings and just couldn't get comfortable. Today, thanks to Elton and others...

    LTD remember the basics

    I thought I was having a problem with my LTD tonight. I tried a factory reset but immediately had problems again. I was thinking, oh no, I am going to have to send it in for service. Then I turned it back on and glanced at the battery monitor. Oops. No battery left. Guys, they are great on...

    CZ Picks up a key date dime - 1895O

    After my question on audio boost, I had to get out tonight and try to hunt with my audio cranked up to 10. At first, I really noticed a difference, but I eventually got used to the sound and was fine. It was after dark when a high tone booming signal stopped me. I recovered a 1953 nickel and...

    Audio Boost on CZs?

    I had a long time CZ tell me that I was missing a lot of faint targets by not running my audio on my CZ up on 10. I had decided I liked the softer audio of deep targets. I think it helps give me a clue on depth. How about you guys? Where do you run your audio and what do you think? HH, Don

    Indiana State Seal Button - CZ 3 talked me into this one

    I went back to the grove where I found the Civil War medal over the weekend. I opened the hole up and made sure the medal hanger was not just hanging around. I started a grid search and got a faint and broken signal. I could tease it into sounding good from a couple of angles, so I dug it...

    CZ Makes My Day - Civil War Medal with name

    Well, I hate to admit it, but I have been almost shut out on silver this year. I have my new LTD and it has found some deep Indians but no silver. My lone silver coin was snagged with the CZ and it was a 1942 nickle. Today, I was determined to find silver. I hunted, and hunted a lot and dug...

    Made Manure Look Good to the F75

    I was hunting an old house yard that was littered with nails. I had hit it a couple of days ago with the F75 and the stock coil. My cool find that day was my Peter Weatherbird watch fob. Today I went back with the small coil and managed to dig about 8 inches deep for a Kemp's Manure Spreader...

    Friday's hunt--a tale of woe and resolve

    Mike, It is more important to slow down and take a breath than worry too much about your coil. The tough thing in metal detecting is mental. We swing and swing and hear nothing, it makes us hurry and sloppy. Just hunt it and keep your mental focus. Better swings lead to better targets...

    CZs should be standard equipment for LTD users.

    Got out tonight to a heavily hit area with my LTD. I hunted for an hour or more and dug a lot of iffy targets and got nothing of real interest. I didn't want to quit without finding something so I went to the other end of town and hit an empty lot where an old house once stood. I decided to...

    Ok to be lazy with the LTD?

    Well, this probably isn't the place to admit it, but I was lazy with the LTD last night. I was hunting an old area where I had found lots of Indiana heads and silver over the years. I haven't got a lot of time in on the LTD and I find myself carrying two detectors along and defaulting to the...

    White's Spectra V3 Price Drop Or Group Buy?

    When I first got interested in detecting about thirty years ago, a dealer told me he would cut me a great deal if I got two buddies to buy the same machine at the same time. I can't remember how great the deal was but I remember the two people who bought detectors with me. We saved some money...

    Winter Boredom Breaker

    Indiana is in the midst of a big ole snow storm with blowing and drifting. Struggled to get home tonight, 20 mile trip, shoveled my drive and walks and collapsed in my favorite chair. The phone rings and the guy wants to know if my "detector thingy" will find stuff in snow. Poor guy takes care...
