ID Edge or CZ-5?

Which of the two is the better "all-around" detector?
Will the Edge work as well as a CZ-5 on a wet saltwater beach?
Which is better for you? Does one detect deeper than the other with their 5" coils? Your honest opinions please.

Thanks!

Charles
 
The CZ on the beach is killer! Minelab patented the Fishers CZ technology, impemented it in the Excaliber/Sovereign series, sold the licensing to Whites in the DFX.
Fisher was grandfathered with the multi-frequency technology and could continue making them, currently models are the CZ-21 and the CZ3D. Why Fisher never patented it, beats me!:nopity:

Hi,

Where did you get this, except on forums from people posting nonsense? Minelab did not patent CZ technology. Fisher was not "grand-fathered". Fisher had multi-freq tech before Minelab, plain and simple, and people have been spreading myths ever since. There is more than one way to skin the multi-freq cat. Show me proof. Prove me wrong and I'll apologize.

Hopefully Dave will chime in here.

Hi,

Well, being able to switch between two frequencies is not the same as using two frequencies at once.

Right,but it was a old unit with 6 & 14 kHz in the early 90's.
The people that have the X-100 and X-200, are not turning loose of them.

Hi BJ'

I did not say the Compass 200 is not a good detector. It simply is a "this frequency or that" unit, not a "uses more frequencies at one" unit. People confuse units that use more than one frequency at once "multi-frequency units" with units that can switch between frequencies "frequency selectable" units.

If you need to flip a switch to choose a frequency, you have a "frequency selectable" detector. If the detector accepts and processes more than one frequency at once, it is a "multi-frequency" detector.
