CZ Sweep speed

[39cents]

I noticed something interesting the other day when digging a target... After a few scoops the target disappeared. Then I swept really fast in Disc 0, and bing there it was consistently. Swept at my normal speed (not slow but not super fast), and it's gone again. Sweep uncomfortably fast, and it's there again.

I noticed that Autotune works opposite to this... it likes a slow sweep vs a fast sweep.

"after a few scoops ..." I'm guessing means a beach hunt? Salt water?

Personally, I have not found fast sweeps to help a CZ. Maybe a few years ago I'd do more tests, but anymore, I probably won't be doing that test since my elbow no longer holds up well torque.

Thanks for posting what you found out. Please update us as you learn more!!! Always interesting to hear how detectorists are doing better by modifying techniques.
Cheers,

All the CZ's I own and use I find get best results(deep targets) with a slow controlled sweep speed.Now I'm not talking a snails pace but a nice slower controlled sweep gets me the deep ones.I remember years back digging an 1872 half dime at a measured 12" deep.A small faint whisper but I knew it was a coin.It will find targets with a faster sweep speed but from my experiences if you want the really deep ones you have to slow your swing down.

Something I learned with my cz20 in 93-94 was that pinpointing a deep target with the pinpoint for a few seconds and then sweep the coil over the target would clear up the target and help determine if dig or no dig.
I guess it saturates the target to induce a clearer signal?

Slow is the way to go for super depth...Would guesstimate you turned the target on end and faster sweep picked it up after halo broken....
