The Cz5 is an excellent analog detector !! Very simple to set up . virtually immune to EMI . Very deep . The only negative i have with it is it a little heavy. It made me become Ambidextrous. Just run Zero disc . You have low , medium and high tones. The volume control will allow you to have modulated audio if you like. Volume below 5 - modulated. above all targets sounds off louder. I still have a Cz3D in my arsenal. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Oh I think I will have many questions once I start swinging it so I appreciate the offer for assistance
The way i would unmask iron or co- located targets was with the pinpoint button. During pinpointing, the target should be small . usually with iron i would get an elongated signal meaning iron. Also during pinpointing if you got two close small blips i would dig lots of deep silver with iron very close . You have to work the target a bit . I rarely ever dug Iron with my Cz . There is also a method in the cz manual on how to deal with rusty iron, that may help .
Sweep speed is also important. A slow sweep in discriminate mode, listening to all tones, can help get a low to high tone bounce where a quicker sweep just gets the high tone.The way i would unmask iron or co- located targets was with the pinpoint button.

exactly right, If you can slow down and work the target , a repeatable signal is what you want. sometimes the questionable signals hold good targets. Yes the meter starts jumping back and forth is another indicator to slow down and work the target. All in all the Audio to me is king !!!! smoother audio with a cz tends to be good targets. cracking and popping is a dead giveaway. Trash!!! I do have 23 years of experience with the cz series detectors . so it is easy for me to say that i rarely dug rusty iron nails and digging thousands of targets educated on what was worth digging and what not to waste my time on. I love this hobby and love talking MD ing . I like helping CZ users any help i can. All that being said, I have got about 3 years with the D2 Ws6 under my belt. And say it is an extremely good detector. I feel that i have the best analog detector Cz3D 1021, and best digital detector D2 Ws6 ( for me).
I cannot tell you why but ever since I switched over to using these beep and digs my trash finds has decreased significantly, I am hoping that remains the same with the Cz5, I will not know until I have it in my hands if that remains the case but it has been that way with my Tesoros,Golden mask, Deep Tech and my Troy Shadow X5, the beep and digs just seem to suit my detecting style much better, and yes I still consider the Cz5 to be a beep and Dig
Also @MuddyMo or anyone else that has swung a Cz5, I do have a question I scrub the coil on the ground when I am detecting, which the Legend also did not like, it liked a air gap, which does the Cz5 like ???
CZ5 is OK either way.
I would say no air gap for me . I tend to be as close to the ground as possible. touching the grass or dirt through out the swing. and definitely on the ground while working a suspect, target.
