Usually it's neither. Usually a Hi-Coin to Zinc bounce is a copper coin, like a wheatie or an Indian head penny. Zincs are 1983 and later and usually come in as Zincs. Pre-83 are more copper content and will often come in as Hi-coin or "bouncers". It depends on how much "halo" they have.
Of course other things can hit like that too, like some buttons for example. But the one rule of thumb that most old-school CZ hunters follow is "dig all bouncers".

At least on my CZ-5, is that Zinc/Hi Coin bouncers, shallow, are usually Zinc cents. I don't know why my CZ registers Zincs with both. However, deep, OLDER Zinc/Hi Coin bouncers could be a heavily worn Barber dime (the alloy wasn't always consistent), a corroded Wheat, and/or maybe a really thin silver coin. I haven't found any old "thin" silver coins like a Reale, so I'm not sure how those register.
Sometimes I get some odd junk items in this segment, like a large piece of lead, a smaller piece of bent-up copper wire, etc.
I like Mike's answer, and I follow it myself. Bouncing signals, especially deep ones, get dug. I've found a lot of odd stuff this way.

Its a wheatie the majority of the time...most wheaties come in coins all, but depending on corrosion and specific year it can vary...Having said the above have dug a thin merc and seated dime that did just that so indeed like Mikes says dig the bouncers especially foil to nickel as it could be a nice gold ring...Remember if your in real old areas a half dime or two cent piece or some darn nice tokens could also be in this area of a zinc bouncer so those that investigate are the smart ones...

that any deviation from high coin is mostly not a high coin, almost every silver coin i've dug never wavered except dimes in high trash areas but have many zincers that bounce on the cz5.However i've gotten a few IH's doing the foil ,zinc to high coin bounce next to iron with no modern trash in the ground.

Agree on all counts.

Well, yes, sometimes. Because CZ's will sometimes "downshift" to iron on very deep targets. But there's also the prospect of a rusty nail being a high coin false and tipping it's hand with an iron hit every now and then. It's really a tough call. One thing I use to rule out the iron false targets is to see how they pinpoint. If you have trouble pinpointing it, if it pinpoints REAL big, or "moves around" on you then it's probably NOT a coin. On the other hand if it stays in one spot and is a very narrow coin-sized pinpoint then I would definitely dig it.

Its been a while since Ive used my cz but... I know that if your getting a high coin hit and maybe once or twice it drops to zinc and then back to coin, its usually iron.But continually bouncing back and forth Id go with what everyonce else says.Trying to learn a Coinstrike right now which is very different then a cz

Mike,
I agree that nails give a bigger target profile in "almost" all situations. Last week, I found 5 wheat pennies spread around about an 8" area. All were 4-5" deep. Boy that one really messed with me in pinpoint. I almost didn't dig. Glad I did. <img src="/metal/html/smile.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt="">
A little later in the day, an IH and a wheat did a similar thing to me.
