This detector has been a ring magnet I can add two more sterling silver rings to my collection. Shown is a large mens silver wedding band marked .925 and I LOVE YOU and a Mexican silver ring marked .925 Heco (hand made).
What really impressed me is I hit a small area in the town I live with a building that dates to around the 1920's, and I pounded it with my Coinstrike in the past, and even though it's an older area I never found anything old with the C$ at this spot, not a single wheatback. It's littered with nails (whatever was there before most likely burned down as once you get down about 6-8" you hit a sandy layer where most of the nails are found). I hit it with the CZ70 last weekend using the 12.5" Sunray coil, and I was able to pull out a 1944 Merc and a lawnmower hammered Rosie, as well as a 1929-S wheatback (not shown). While not amazing finds in themselves, their the first silver coins I've found in the city I live in (most of the older areas have been redeveloped
I also pulled out about $6.00 in clad, that's definitely been there a while. I have no idea how the Coinstrike missed all this, yet the CZ70 had no trouble getting them, even with a littering of old rusty nails (to be fair, I'd say that the majority of the nails are below the coins, but still).
I have the new F75 LTD coming, it'll be interesting to see if it can find masked coins using the small DD coil that the big CZ concentrics can't see due to masking
The CZ70 may be slower, and a little heavy, but one thing is certain, it loves silver
Thanks for looking and HH,
Brian
