cz70 pro questions

[joe dirt_1]

after spending about 30 hours learning to use my cz70 i still have a few questions. i get a good sounding hit sweeping left to right on a target, but when i go 90 degrees to the original sweep it might chirp or make no sound at all. i pass these signals up as i have read that the signal has to repeat two ways for it to be worth digging. are the one way hits trash majority of the time or am i passing up some good targets? i have been back over some sites i hunted earlier using a 1266 with my cz70 and thought i might find several really deep coins, but not much has showed up yet. i will say i have found more buffalo nickels with the cz than any other detector i have ever used...... it is a nickel finding machine. maybe i need to take it to some new sites that haven't been pounded hard for years to see what it does, but i really expected to find some deep coins at these sites. not sure if the dryer ground has anything to do with finding those deeper coins with the cz or not but my 1266 does better in dry ground it seems. i usually run the cz at 4 sensitivity and 6 volume with iron notched out and maybe round tabs depending on where i'm hunting. should i be digging those hits that only sound good sweeping both left and right?
i am learning to avoid those deep rusty nails but still dig a few that fool me. i really like the cz so far, it's deep and very good on nickels. any help would be appreciated...thanks.

Usually trash and leave them lie unless you get a 10 inch depth reading then really try to get that second repeat which may be tough to do on deepies.

Could be a nice deep coin masked by trash and your call to dig or not but unless things are real quiet with no hits odds certainly against you and probably one of those darn blasted rusty nails...

Back when I was younger, I would dig those one way hits, 9 times out of 10, it would be trash and one time out of 10, a coin hiding in trash.
I run in Zero disc. because I want to hear those low tones, because a low tone can jump to a high tone when the coil comes off the iron, with iron disc out, all you will hear is the jump to high tone, and that's what some of the one way hits are....
My CZ 3d and CZ 70 and CZ 5 and 5" coil will hit a 8" dime with the Sens at 4, here in our soil...

thanks for the answers guys. i suspected the signals were trash because all the coins i have found with the cz hit 2 ways and locked on...............roger

When I went to a sensitivity setting of 6 on my CZ 70 my deep coin finds increased.In Montana I could run a sens of 6 and still be stable.The CZ's have a real tight nickle notch,they are the King of Nickle finders.When you get a foil to nickle bounce dig it as I have found lots of old nickles that hit like that.I dug a 1914 Walking Liberty Half that was tilted nearly on edge at 9 1/2 in moist ground with my CZ 70.I just discriminate out iron and dig the hits that repeat at 90 degrees.I got Tom Dankowskis DVD on detecting and he has lots of practical information on using a CZ in the field.I have been tempted to get rid of my other newer TID detectors and get another 5 inch,stock coil and 10 1/2 inch coil for my CZ 70 and only hunt with it.At the end of each hunt I will have dug a little more trash and way more coins than with the TID number detectors.Bill

Howdy BJ
That yard sign needs a couple of insurance shots on that lump between the shoulders. That area should be worth ten points if wearing body armor! Naw, ain't found too much,cept a 1901 V nic.

Well, a "V" is better than a Zinc any day...
We are getting so much rain now, it may be a while before I get to hunt again.
Take care my friend..
