CZ3D gets its first keeper.

[Ray(Ca)]

Hi Everyone

Been working this older cleaned out park this week with the 3D. I have never really pulled any old coins from the middle part of this park except a few 50s wheat's that were a couple of inches deep. This spot had a house on it in the 1880s and has been well hunted so I thought it would be a good test for the 3D. About half way through my lunch hunt I received a deep 4 way repeater with a little iron tone now and then. It was about 5 inches deep and rang high coin so I dug. About 5 inches down out pops a 28-s Standing liberty quarter. I was kind of surprised at first but then I realized that the 3D was doing what it was designed to do. Find old coins! I had the sens at about 7 but It seems to run smoother at 3. Disc at accept iron and listen to it all. You need to listen and examine all high tone signals and if unsure then dig.

Seems like the sens. in newer Fishers has new parameters as older analog CZ's 6-7-8 was quite normal with great depth and stability..Indeed 4 is about the max. for CZ3D for depth and stability but will go as deep as the older analogs where one could run sens. higher. Same goes for the CZ70 if one has one...Certainly have to learn the language of this beast and once you do you will do less digging and put more goodies in the pouch...

Sounds like fun, Ray.

Nice quarter!

Looks beautiful! Keep 'em coming!

run it in enhanced. I try to hunt only older areas. I have dug a few targets with it already that I'm sure would have registered trash. I also like the fact that it will hit a $5 coronet with a high tone. The other good thing is that it will still register a regular coin as a good target even in enhanced. Not to many coins getting by this machine if you get your loop over them. It's a fun machine to hunt older cleaned out areas with and will work fine in trashy older parks too. You just have to go slow and listen for the deeper signals plus I don't mind digging a little trash it's just part of the hobby!

thanks for the response ray!..so if you are in advanced mode in a TRASHY old park,what is the best way to hunt that park,and dig a minimum of trash?..

regards!

Jmyt,

I think Tom D says to run in in salt mode when its a new and/or trashy site. He says to use the enhanced mode for pre 1950 sites. Here is the link to the Fisher intelligence 4th addition, it's all there and more.

you can bet the ranch THAT coin was walked over as a conventional detector would probably have "seen" the iron,and masked the coin!...i am beginning to lose my scepticism concerning this detector!..nice "pop!"..got a date too!..

i know that!..the problem is that just about "everywhere" that you locate pre-1950's sites !)es.they end up being trash dumps anyway!..the detector's advanced mode is useless in THAT environment,and you MUST run in salt mode!..i know it sounds very negative,but what the hell are you going to do?..if you are encountering these conditions VIRTUALLY everywhere you hunt,then why bother with a cz-3d?..use the cz-5 instead!..that's my point!..some guys are apparently managing to be able to hunt in trashy conditions with the detector set to advanced mode!..i guess!,.. just go slow ,and dig a lot of "high tones" hoping they are NOT junk!
