CZ's can still get it done!

[HaroldILL.]

I was coming back from my sister's house yesterday late afternoon and past a Baseball diamond I detected before with my E-trac and XL-PRO and found only clad so I happened to have my CZ-3D in the trunk of the car and thought what the heck it's on the way home and one of the few places I can still detect. I wasn't expecting much,But after a half hour I get a faint square pull tab/ zinc bounce that toped out on the pinpoint. I thought small iron as nothing but clad was found last couple of times,But said what the heck dig it as it is deep. At about 10'' is a green disc and rite away just from the patina I know it is a Indian head penny and it was an 1888. Surprised I slow down and 15 minutes later I get another soft deep hit,But this time it is a repeatable high coin tone 4 way no brainer type hit. And at about 9'' a 1906 Barber dime. I detected another half hour till dark and nothing else. It just goes to show that coil for coil the CZ's can still match the lastest and greatest in depth! And to think I was using the stock 8'' coil! That is why I will always have a CZ in my detector arsenal!

I believe you on that. My CZ6a is a fun unit. Great finds.

Amen....old technology at its finest.....coil for coil as deep as anything including those super priced units....

Harold, slap that 10.5 inch coil on there and go back....you know what I'm saying.

Went back today and got a silver rosie at 7'' and a merc. at 8'' with a small nail directly above it! The CZ-3D is on a roll. To bad were going to get rain the next 2 days that is why I figured I better get out today. And had a 10.5,But sold it when I had shoulder issues a year and a half ago. But through exercise and supplements got it back to 90% so maybe could handle it once in awhile at sites like this with little trash and deep coins. May get another if price is rite,But for now will stick with the 8'' coil.

all i have is the 10.5 and the 5" my 8" stock has cable issues so im down to just the 2...imagine the difference when i switch coils.

Have you considered hipmounting? That would make it easier to swing the 10.5 coil. I have my CZ5 hipmounted and really like it..

 

[HaroldILL.]

Yes I did consider it,But it can put undue stress on the cord and cause failer. If I have to I will,But for now it is tolerable.
