I'd like to hear from some former mainly CZ users who have made the jump to the F-75

who hunt old home sites and the associated old-style powerlines. Do you often end up going back to using your CZ because of interference? Also, do you find it tedious hunting with it compared to a CZ? Thanks,

Chris
 
I know the T2 isn't a F75,but both are very similar.Another CZ user I hunt with used this unit and wasn't impressed either.
 
I hunt all kinds of sites, country and city and have never had an interference problem with my F75. I sang the praises of cz's for over a decade, but I now do for the F75. HH jim tn
 
not because of electrical interference. I mainly hunt old abandoned farm home sites that do not have electric lines around, so that is not a problem. I just found the F75 mentally fatiguing to use because it was so noisy with too many clipped/scritchy sounds and the TID numbers jumped all around and seldom "locked in" on a narrow range. To me it was erratic and hard to interpret the audio or screen in any consistent useful manner that would allow one to separate good targets from junk. It was nothing like my CZ's and I was not impressed.

I would still like to have a machine with numeric ID, but one that is more stable.
 
An F-75 and CZ are just different beasts and seems to be a love it or hate it going on with the F-75...depending on who you talk to.
So I guess its your call as over the years the weigting and ergonomics and likeness of deep rusty nails the same could be said of the CZ units...My feelings why fix what ain't broke as over the years have been able to defeat the cons of a CZ and dig em as deep as any unit on the market...
 
I've read everything on Tom's site and here. I don't need the "on steroids" settings and like my 4 CZ-70 tones so I would think 4 or 4H and DE might do well to still find the coins in the iron with the much faster processor, DD coil, and better separation and make it much more familiar/tolerable/comfortable/ for CZ users that are coin hunters? I appreciate your posts and responses now and over the years with the CZ's. Thanks in advance,

Chris
 
it appears from initial reports on the forum that the little f2 does NOT have that problem,as it locks up very well on targets with steady readings,AND the tones appear to be clear as well!..odd thing is the detector ONLY costs 200.00!.one would think the cheap detector would be experiencing those issues!

(h.h!)

Chris, first off, maybe I've been using the F75 long enough (9 months) that the so called "chatter" doesn't bother me, but I truly am not aware of any undo chatter. I coin and jewelry hunt almost exclusively and hunt the same kinds of sites as do most coin shooters, very trashy and usually, "hunted out." I do hunt with pretty low disc., de process, sen., (whatever setting makes it stable) usually 70-80 and 3h tones and strive for good g/b. The F75 has great depth (no hype) and really does excel on trash laden sites. A couple of months ago I dug a kind of jumpy and broken signal that ended up yielding a 1922 Peace dollar and a 1942 Walking Liberty half in the same clod and a rusty nail was laying about 2" above the two coins. I could relate several other such similar situations, but the F75 really is terrific in trash. As we know, the F75 is not for everyone...and that is o.k., but it does work for me. HH jim tn
 
Ron,

I was getting about the same depth as my CZ's. Of course, the F75 I found so noisy that I had to lower the sensitivity just to be able to deal with it's audio output. I had more confidence in the target ID info of the CZ because the TID's of the F75 usually jumped all over the place, so my thought was "no additional depth" and no additional target info that was consistent, so why not just go back to the CZ, at least I know what it is telling me, minus the headache. Also, someone said something about having multiple targets under the coil as being the reason for what I thought was a lack of stability. When I began using the F75 I dug nearly all the targets as I usually do when trying to learn a new machine. Where I hunt at old farmsites there is not often the density of targets that some of you are use to at city parks, etc. Most of the targets I dug were single targets, yet the TID's were commonly over a range of 10-30; you would think on a single target that the TID's would come within a range of 3-4. I tried different sweep speeds and sweep widths, but that did not seem to help much. The manual claims the most accurate TID comes with a fast shoulder width sweep. Some pull tabs, lead fishing sinkers, and crown bottle caps gave a fairly narrow range, but they are about the only targets that ever "locked in" to a narrow range for me.
 
Naturally the F-2 being an entry level unit does not have the power of an F-75 which causes it to pick up small particles in the ground and of course outside electrical interferences which makes it noisy but much deeper than an F-2....
