I have been using a White's Classic III untill my brother in law stopped in and said he is quitting detecting. He is too busy doing the geocaching thing. So he sold me his CZ-6a with the headphones for $200.00 The detector is in great shape, but I had to clean it up some. I got a pretty good deal didn't I. The only thing I can't seem to clean is the coil because it has a coil cover on it and I can't get it off, I am afraid to pull too hard on it & probably shouldn't try to pry it off. Any suggestions on how to removew it? Seems to be a good machine, I went up to our small park that I have been over tons of time with my White's Classic III,a Garrett Ace 250 & a White's Prizm II and got almost $2.00 in change. The best nickel finder I have seen yet. But it is heavy compared to the other detectors I have had. Going to take me alittle time to learn the CZ-6a but I think it will be worth it. I kind of like the analog meter - I always seem to like the older things when it comes to electronics. First machine I have had that has a manual ground balance - I can't get no noise how ever I do the ground balancing thing. Maybe no minerization up here in upstate New York. Thanks & this is a great forum! Steve.
