CZ 70 Recovery Time

[Boofer--(Va.)]

When I am hunting trashy areas, I try to remember to slow my swing speed.
I think that a CZ 70 might miss a small deep target if you swing to slow.
Does anyone know the recovery time of a CZ 70pro
Thanks a lot !

I don't think there is a "recovery time", per say, because it would depend on the soil type, the coil type, the settings, and other factors. But having used the CZ-70, Whites DFX, Garrett Machines, and several Minelabs, I would say that it is better than most all of them in recovery speed. That said, CZ's DO like a slower swing speed to get the very deep targets. I think that you would be more likely to miss a deep one by swinging too FAST, not too SLOW. My test garden and experience in the field show this.

Also, I know that "different stroke for different folks" applies, but I have found that the best way to run the CZ-70 is to notch out nothing, listen to it all, and dig what you think sounds good. If the machine doesn't have to filter anything out you can swing it a little faster and also if you have iron notched in you will better be able to tell a deep coin from deep iron, because if you are consistently getting coin, iron, coin, iron on a target than it's probably a rusty nail, roof tack, or some other piece of junk. If you can get the good signal in at least two directions then you probably have a digger.

I agree with you. I don't notch out anything for the reasons you stated.
I have to find the iron to find the old house, building etc.
A lot of one way signals are iron-coin signals. It helps to decide Dig-No Dig.
I don't have coin garden so I did some air testing.
Using a dime at the 9-10 inch range, it seamed like I had speed up some to get a signal.

Happy Hunting !

You have to listen to the iron on the CZ's in order to make good decisions on whether to dig or not, and also so you won't get fooled by iron signals that bleed through and give off only a high tone when the discrimination has iron notched out ( or in the case of CZ's without notching, where one has discrimination set to 1 or higher).

I always run my CZ6a, when in discriminate mode, on 0 so I hear all targets and all tones.

And slow sweeping is always the most advantageous speed on CZ's. Not to say you can't sweep them moderate to fast, but when you get into areas where there are lots of targets, iron included, slow down and listen. Plus, a slower sweep speed lends itself to less falsing when you have the sensitivity turned up.

from testing numerous CZ-70's over the years, some are better in iron than others. Some machines just false more and the iron skews the ID but some are great in the stuff. I find that I need to put a couple of targets on clean ground close together and determine the ideal swing speed for my machine to hit both targets maximally with the best and proper ID. Surely, deeper targets, trash, iron, the dirt matrix, etc...and your specific machine performance makes a big difference....JMHO

slow!..but it doesn't really matter because it is "dead nuts accurate" when it hits!

yes the 70 likes a slower sweep,and if you sweep fast to try to cover ground too quickly,you WILL lose depth,AND accuracy on targets!
