How many of you fellers' use the 5" coil in spots?...and how many feel....
- Thread starter Hotcz70
- Start date
When I first got the CZ5 back when the first couple got this neck of the woods I was freaked out by it's ability to clean them coins out of the ground, especially at depth, that my older BH missed and the other old timers missed. I thought that this thing would never fail me in the hunted out parks of 1993 when the ground opened up anew.
I think I got the 5" coil in 96 or so after hearing from others of it's potential. Didn't like it, never got used to it, and the one I got seemed bad. Still got it though I only use it in a very few special circumstances.
Did Sun Ray make a smallie as well as the FZ12?

I still think overall, the 8 inch coil is the best coil for the CZ. Even beach hunting. I use the 10.5 and the 12 inch Sunray for coverage and a little more depth on the beach, but it seems whenever I hunt with the 8 inch coil, even on the beach, I find the best stuff. I use the 8 inch coil the most even on the beach.
The 5 inch coil can be cranked up a bit in terms of sensitivity, and can sniff out silver or copper with the best of them when there is a lot of modern trash around. It just takes more time to cover the area because you still have to have a moderate sweep speed.
My opinion...since you kill trashy spots with your small Sunray on the Explorer, stick with that set up.
If you do get the small coil for the CZ, I would love the hear your opinion on it in relation to the 5.5 Sunray. Thinking of getting that coil for my E-Trac but also have the 8 inch Sunray as part of the debate.
Matter of fact...I am going to PM you. If you want to try the small coil, I can send it to you.

Although am a CZ guy and have been since 92 trying them always come back to a CZ as it works for me love to see names of competitors units, coils and such mentioned with no deletions..
One guesses the powers to be love the comparisons as although old technology CZ's hang in with the best of them..

I sold my cz7a, ( wish I never...) but I love the 5" on my 1200 series machines.
