I have been detecting for 20 odd years. I used to own a CZ5 when they came out. Since then I have used most including the T2 and F75. I sold detectors so I had the chance to use most and am a detector nut. I have been doing a lot of beaches so I got hold of a Cz5 to give it a go as I never tried beaches years ago. I was very impressed with its performance and totally destroyed my mate with his SE in salt water.
I decided to take the CZ5 to my favorite field which is mineralized GB 3.5 - 4 I went two ours and only a bit of lead. I was working in iron mode to knock out iron only. My sens was 4.5. To say I was concerned was an understatement So I decided to bury a coin an old UK penny at 8". You can imagine my horror when it never gave a signal??? I tried everything but nope nothing. I put it to 6" and it gave an iron tone! What have I went over I thought. If the same test was done with a T2 or F75 or most it would have hit hard. I had to search this ploughed field in auto tune and when I got a signal flick to iron and if it went quiteit was a deep target or if it went to iron I would clear some soil and it gave a good signal I would dig.
My question is would the 3D do better as it maybe because its an old detector. Anything over 6" Id'd as iron sound and meter. I want a good beach and field detector that is light not like the SE.
