that it is awesome for trash(as expected) but is overly sensitive,so much so,that i still cant get as close to playground equipment,or bleechers as i,d like..its depth is awesome,but because of the coil being so sensitive near playground equipment,i have to use my ace and sniper to get n there..any one else find this?

As you approach the equipment, you will of course hear the sound increase in volume and pitch. If there aren't any targets, it will be smooth. However, if there's a target, the sound in Auto-tune will be different, depending on how the target lies, whether it's tilted or not, etc. Usually, the sound jumps up faster than normal, levels off for an instant, then continues swelling in volume and pitch as you get closer to the equipment.

This takes getting used to, but it does work. I pulled a small 10K gold ring 4" from a support leg of a piece of playground equipment once, as well as coins.

If you still can't hear a target, and you're in a woodchip or sandpit playground, rake out the suspect material, scan it with your detector, then replace it after recovering any targets.

I've found the most bleachers are just to junky and/or the supports are to close together to effectively detect. Build a sifter and sift the dirt. You'd be surprised what you'll find.

Heck try turning the sensitivty way down as your not looking for super deepies anyway, we all have our opinions but auto-tune seems to cover more ground and wouldn't be my choice for your problem....
 
The CZ, even with the "hockey puck", is still really sensitive. I could actually get closer to equipment with my 1235X and the stock 8" coil. In fact, you should be able to actually touch the equipment with the coil, then orbit around the support leg (providing it's round), keeping in constant contact, with the 1235, and it will actually tune out the support. Then it will detect a coin next to it. I've pulled dimes and pennies within 2" of playground equipment support legs with my old 1235X.

I have this hockey puck coil also on a CZ-3D, and I do also find it to be quite sensitive around playground equipment and chain link fences. I've not come up with a good solution either.
