Say what you want about the plastic F70 & F75 How great they are! But Fisher was build on the CZ-5, CZ-6A , CZ-7 & the Cz-70's Any detectors made after the company was sold are $300 detectors being sold for $700 ! The newer F70s & 75's can't touch the CZ units, this is why you will never see a Fisher F75 vs a CZ-70 Pro! CZ-70 Pro the last great detector Fisher made. Bar none!
 
Your right Jim.. A ha.
 
Sorry to step on your toes guys! And change is great if its going in the right direction! But when I see that the new F70's selling for $700 look just like the $300 ones
that the company are selling who bought out Fisher a few years ago. Then something is not right with this picture. I am open to change! I am also an Electronics Tech
for the last 30 years. I know a good detector when I see it.
 
I for one still like my CZ-70 Pro and CZ-3D the best overall...the resistance to EMI, ease of use, great ID on what's in the ground (especially on bottlecaps), depth, and the build quality has always been super to name a few. Granted the CZ's surely have their limitations and I'm OK with it as do the new First Texas machines...to each their own. I have always done great with CZ's and many are doing well with the new First Texas machines too...I've come to realize that I need to use a machine that I have total confidence in and enjoy using...if it's a pain to use or tedious to use...I just usually sell it and keep coming back to CZ's. I've used all the Explorers, E-Trac, Coin$trike, DFX, Most of the CZ's, X-Terras 50 and 70 along with a few others over the years...each has done well for me but it always comes back to overall performance, ease of use and the detectorist's individual personality...HH with your new machine!
 
Rich,have you ever tried a F70.I liked some of the old Fisher units and have owned and used two CZ70s,CZ7APro,two CZ3Ds,three CZ5s,CZ6,CZ20,1225X,1260,1270,1280,1236X,Coin Strike,Edge,ID Excel,Edge and the PI water unit.My favorites the CZ5,1236X and ID Excel.I used a Discovery 3300 the other day and was very impressed with this unit which is the platform for the Fisher F4.I have used a T2 which performed well but no small coil was offered for this unit for heavy trash parks, it was a good product and again the platform for another Fisher product the F75.Most companies are struggling sales are down and I'm not going to call their products inferior without using them myself.Have you ever tried a cheap Bounty Hunter Time Ranger which is another great unit but shares or looks a lot like the other units accept the face plate.The post I have read about the F70 most users like this unit.The cost of manufacturing has increased a lot since Fisher was bought out.Anyway just my thoughts.I'm glad you are happy with your CZ70 because they too are a nice unit.
 
Thanks for the great replays! A little back ground. I have own in the past 12 years. Whites XLT , Garrett GTA 1000, Ace 250, GTP 1350. Minelab Sovereign, Quattro,
Fisher 1266, CZ-5 CZ-6A CZ-7a Pro, CZ-20 and now a CZ-70 Pro. I always go back to Fisher I call them my 10 year detector.
 
well i say use what you like and let others use what they like. we are all individuals some are very pleased with a bounty hunter pioneer 101, some are not happy unless the detector digs the target for them. but putting down machines that one has little experience with is just not wise. And from what I've gathered the only reason they stopped making the digital CZ line was some form of patent problem with Minelab. HH. Tim
 
You know Rich..use what you like.thats the one you will do best with..But till you have tried an F75..........You just might be surprised.....Let me tell you.it's not a Bounty Hunter. Enjoy your CZ70..............I hear they are great machines....
 
Good point! I like what your saying, We all started somewhere! My first detector was a $60 bounty hunter. I apologise to anyone just starting out in this great Hobie. I have really enjoyed the CZ's over the
years. There are a lot of great detectors out there. For me its a CZ-70 for now Who knows I may buy a F75 someday. Sorry for any hurt feelings.
 
Heck I know some fellows that use 20 year old units and do well with them..CZ's sure have stood the test of time and above all are user friendly.
On the other hand Fisher's new units are really light and have excellent ID with a 5 year warranty. Lets face it all units have their plus and minus features so use the one of your choice and good luck in your ventures..:beers:
 
They never bothered to patent it because the technology was so crude at the time. When Fisher built the CZ it was "grandfathered"
in. The problem was it was expensive to build, and to have properly trained technicians to adjust it after repair. It has something like
23-27 adjustments to be made, each one relative to the adjustment made just before it.
 
you would have the world's best all-around detector. Have to settle for the top 3 until that day (Minelab Explorer, CZ-3D, and F-75). Oooohh, I hope this doesn't start something....! :shrug:

I will take your CZ70 pro on, I had one and it can't hunt in iron for relisc like the F75 not as fast not even close. Good luck but to each his/her own! I don't mean to be rude but in Calif the F75 is the best unit I have had.
 
i had one too!..low-boy's right!..the 75 trumps 'em all!..the cz-70 is a very good detector in fairly clean ground,HOWEVER most places worth hunting are loaded with modern trash,and the 75 definately HAS the edge!..the 11" dd coil alone is worth the price of admission,and with the new 5" dd coil being introduced,it just got VERY interesting!..ya got cz-70 depth,AND separation in the 75!..what's NOT to like?

(h.h!)
j.t.
 
This has been a lot of fun guys, looks like there is a lot of spirit in Fisher owners. I am very happy with CZ-70 I just got, But I have also learned there are
a few very faithful F75 owners. I think the F75 is worth a closer look. What I like most about CZ units is that they can be hip mounted. I sold my Minelab
Quattro because I was afraid to use it in shallow water 12" deep. If I drop the detector its history!
 
Your certainly entitled to your opinion, but you have things mixed up a bit. I can tell from your statement it's doubtful if you have ever even handled the units you are bashing. I have done quite a few F75 to CZ-70 Pro test. I do know what the differences are.

The new units are digital, and are software controlled, this is why I said your comparing apples to bananas. Overall the F75 does hold the edge in most hunting conditions. The F75 has more than proved that you do not need multi-frequency units to hunt in bad soil. The F75 & F70 are as deep as any CZ, and are more sensitive toward gold & gold jewelry.

Now I don't want to continue this because it's all a moot point. Both series detectors are good units, designed by the same engineer. They operate differently, and hunt differently, but they have their place. So go hunt with your favorite detector. End the bashing before it get's to far out of hand, and other measures need to be taken.
