F-70 or CZ-70 Pro

[davkeene]

I need all of your valuable, experienced comments. I own a brand new, never used Fisher F-70 with standard coil and the F75 DD coil. I also own a Fisher CZ 70 Pro with three coils; the small "hockey puck", 8 inch and 10 inch. I am only going to keep one
of detector. Will you please help me choose between them. All pro's and con's will be greatly appreciated. Send me a P.M. if you want. My hunting consists of coin hunting in very old yards and parks and I want to keep the deepest detector. Thank you all for any input. I really appreciate your help. Dave.

I've owned and used the CZ6a, never found coins as deep as I find them with the F70, how is it junk?

The F70 is QUITE a capable unit. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to run one either. Its a nice simple powerful and easy machine to use. If someone had a bad unit, or a bad coil, then they may have had a bad experience with the machine, but that STILL doesnt make them "junk". I wish just once that guys would take the time, and WORK with the manufacturers and dealers to be SURE the machine they bought was 100%, BEFORE they jumped all over them, and condemned every machine on the planet. Its sad really, because they are only depriving themselves of a dang GOOD machine. These forums would be a FAR nicer place.......and we might actually learn from each other if we stayed positive.and tried to get to the root of any potential problems, INSTEAD of just badmouthing everything and everybody.
I guess I'll just keep MY junk! Streak!

Take em both to one of your favorite sites.....and do a little comparative testing. Only YOU can decide which YOU like the best. All machines have different characteristics......and one guys dream machine may NOT be someone elses. Take em out and compare target responses...........how they sound..........how they ID.... Use em BOTH for a few hours....and see how YOU feel too. Does one wear you out because of how it feels?? Does one use more batteries, and is more expensive to run? There isnt a person on ANY forum that can make that determination for you Dave.
Actually...................your in a GREAT position here..as you HAVE BOTH machines....and can make reasonable and intelligent decisions based on how they both work for YOU. A lot of guys dont HAVE the machines they are agonizing over....and have to make a decision based on OTHERS opinions. (and we all know what THATS like!!!)
Like I said..............take a day.......and try em both side by side. May the best machine win!!! Streak!

Not sure about the cz 70 but the cz-3d will keep up with the f70 and the f75 with no eratic noise,no jumping numbers,no falseing and it hunts with 2 fre 5 and 15.
