CZ5 in iron

[Eric]

I am thinking of getting a CZ5 but I have doubts if can use it on the farmfields that I hunt on. I could not use my 1266 there! My sovereign does a great job there but how will the CZ5 perform?

These fields are in use since Roman times and have old rusty bits of iron.

Thanks, Eric.

I use my CZ's along old hedgerows here that have buried barbed wire fence remains. That's a lot of iron close to the ground. I don't think you could get a machine that would work well for anything other than iron when you're right over it. But where there's bits and pieces fragmented in the ground, the machine performs very well for me. Are the fields you want to detect also fertilized with common modern chemicals? These also produce some undesired effects.

Of course if you are hunting fields with the history you mentioned, you might not want to ignore too many iron signals, especially those much bigger than coin sized.
