cz 3d question

thinking about getting a cz 3D, but heard that it was mainly geared toward older deeper coins. how does it perform on modern coins and rings, jewelry. i plan on hunting for those as well as older coins. any info would help, thanks
 
I got my CD 3 this year and my clad count has never been better. You have to learn the machine mostly the sounds. I have found old and new items and I always run in the enhanced mode.
It does a great job at low sensitivity settings. I have found several small targets, including exceptional buttons and a silver child's ring. I probably dig more trash than some people would like,
but I am just covering my bases. I don't think you will regret buying a CZ 3. It has convinced my Fisher knows what is going on and I may have to have a
F70 or F75.

I have tried about any detector you can name. I recently upgraded (yes, it was an upgrade) from an F75 to the 3D. The 3D will trump the F75 in all aspects (except weight) in this Oregon ground. I have found 18 silver and gold rings in the last 2 months. Use zero discrimination, learn it's language you will be rewarded. It even hits gold cahins.
 
all the CZ-3D's were made by Fisher in Los Banos and none by First Texas in Texas apparently. The CZ-3D stock out there includes some lifetime warranty machines when made before/during the transition with most repackaged with a manual and warranty that said 5 years per First Texas.

I just got a new one yesterday with a lifetime warranty that's stable and HOT-hits a dime at over 12 inches in Enhanced, reads old nickels right, and a pulltab is still a midtone. I just picked up an 1882 $5 half eagle for testing along with some shield nickels to make sure they give a high tone too. A 3D for me. in enhanced, with a properly tuned machine, is so easy to use at old sites since most midtone trash stays midtone but coins ring in nice and clear with a high tone. I still love a CZ-70 but a good properly tuned 3D really is hard to beat. I find the 3D to actually be better in iron than a CZ-70 for some reason and the 3D seemed to go deeper with better ID for coins...JMHO...HH
 
how was you able to buy one with a lifetime warranty? ,and how do you know it's tuned correctly?..thanks!

I called around to different dealers from the forum until I found one that still had one left with a lifetime warranty. I have had numerous 3D's over the years plus Tom D. kindly gives detailed information on his site regarding a properly tuned 3D...HH
 
thanks chris!..i will go there to check that out!..you was only able to find one left with a lifetime warranty?..

(h.h!)
j.t.
 
chris!.. the thought occured to me that the one you have MAY be the last one built in "los banos"!

(h.h!)

j.t.,

I'll bet that there are quite a few dealers out there who still have new in box lifetime warranty 3-D's in their store rooms if they look close :)
 
yeah!..chris i was wonderin' about that too!..just have to open 'em up and look for the blank warranty cards!..those will be 'los banos" units!

(h.h!)
j.t.
 
chris i thought they was still makin' 'em! only in texas,or mexico now!..they are still advertised by all fisher dealers as current stock,or so i thought!..this is why i made the comment about the "blank" warranty cards in the box!..IF they are still being made,,then the texas or mexican units will NOT have a lifetime warranty card in the box!

(h.h!)

The CZ3D is a top of the line machine. It will find clad,silver,gold and any other metal your looking for.
It goes super deep also. Buy one, learn its language and you won't be dissapointed. It works great at
the beach too!!! It's 2 machines in 1. Three cheers for Tom Dankowski!!! Run that baby at zero discrimination
and listen to it all. You must learn its language. Very critical point. Good luck.
