Cz-7a Pro is the deepest detector I have, but......

Cz-7a Pro is the deepest detector I have, but, I have dug more cut nails and small rusted bits of wire than with any other detector I own.

That is all......

Well....that detector;s technology is like 10 years old or better.
So, who knows.
With my CZ-3D I never really dug too much iron.

It is just a new detector to me, only had it a coupla weeks. I really think it will be a crackerjack once I learn it. Some of the finds I have found have really impressed me.

The CZ-7a pro is still a really good machines, I had the the CZ-5 and my brother had the CZ-7a pro, both pulled in a lot of silver.

Good luck,

If you aren't already listening to all the tones, set the discriminator on 0 and listen to all tones. When over a target, slow the sweep down; way down. Cut nails and bottle caps can be a little tough and may still bounce tones with a slow sweep, but the rusted iron wire will most likely stay low tone when the sweep is slowed down. Slow sweep may help you dig less iron.
Good luck to you!

First, like tvr suggested, run in 0 discrimination mode so that any iron wrapping into the high tone area, will also have a low tone associated with it. Hardly ever will you have an iron target that hits high tone 75% or more from all angles. Most iron targets will have a lot of low tones mixed in, and the only way to hear the low tone is to run at 0 discrimination.

Second....check some of the targets out in all metal ( autotune ) mode. A lot of iron will be a very wide signal, harsh sounding and you will get used to how they sound in all metal. Also, when pin pointing, try getting good at sizing the target by continuing to press and depress the pin point button ( there are good posts about how to size a target via pin pointing on the forum, and I believe the manual also talks about it). A lot of nails and wire will pin point in different spots, whereas coins and round objects will have a very narrow foot print while pin pointing.

Best thing to do is practice. Once your ears are tuned to that mellow, sweet high tone 'ping' that is a coin or silver, as opposed to the louder, harsher sounding high tone 'bang' of iron, you will dig a lot less.

Remember to sweep the coil over the target slowly from all angles, have the ground balance spot on, run in 0 discrimination, practice listening in all metal, use the pin point button to size up the target and any repeatable high tone from multiple angles that does not have a lot of low tones mixed in that sizes small...dig it.

You have a great unit. Simple, deep, no frills, can hunt almost anywhere ( sorry, it can't go underwater !) and once you learn it, you won't get rid of it.

I run it with no discrimination and listen for the iron grunt mixed in with the good signal and hit it from multiple angles, I just need to learn to trust the detector more. I will admit I don't have the slowest swing, will make an effort to slow down. Thanks for the advice.

Great advice, that is what I like about this place..... Thanks,
