If I were to buy a CZ for slow motion hunting

I just couldn't let that one slide by... :smoke: If anyone mistook me as a 3D basher they're sadly mistaking.. :crazy:

Quoting You:

"I think the reason for digging more trash targets in the enhanced mode is that certain targets, with a particular electronic signature, have been programmed to report a high tone that, in the past for whatever reason, used to report a lower tone, and still do in the Salt mode, and normal mode in other CZ's."


"Those good targets are there now, reporting those lower tones all along, just as the trash targets are doing. The difference is that with the other CZ's, we tend to ignore those "trash" tones leaving not only those trash targets in the ground, but also leaving those older good targets along with them, because they have that same electronic signature. We don't know that we missed them, because we didn't even know they were there."

Absolutely!

The funny thing here is that this is the same thing they did with the CZ-70 when they came out with that. Previous CZ's, like the CZ-7a Pro, had a "Square Pulltab" icon. I'm sure many folks weren't aware that musketballs, many buttons, and a fair number of coins (not to mention gold rings) fell into that segment. So they changed the icon to a little "Texaco star" with a dollar sign in it, called it "Relic", and added a 4th tone.

Their message:

If you want to get more good stuff, you need to dig BELOW the coins segments once in a while. All this is about getting folks to DIG MORE STUFF.
:shrug: :thumbup:
 
Makes me want to try one someday. I almost got a CZ70pro last year but because of my ground mineralization, I got a CoinStrike instead. Someday when I get tired of one of my current machines I'll have to try a CZ3D.

:detecting:
 
Now I'll get to find out for myself.

with a full lifetime warranty is the CZ-3D, unless you can find an old stock CZ5 or CZ70 Pro.

Yes, they work well when hunting slow. In fact, that's the preferred speed with the CZ's.

Which one should you get? The CZ5 is an excellent machine, as is the CZ70 Pro. I prefer the CZ-3D myself. Now before we hear about the 1950 sites, wider target segments and more trash items reading good, let's looks at it a little closer.

The CZ-3D does have the new fourth tone for foil. The great thing about that is that a lot of small gold jewelry falls into the foil range. If you are jewelry hunting, you can specifically listen for that tone without having to constantly look at the meter.

The target segments weren't made wider, as some think, but were enhanced to accept many good targets that were falling into lower target ranges. I might suggest you read Thomas Dankowski's write-up on the CZ-3D with the following link:

http://www.fisherlab.com/fisherbeta/intel/fishintel.pdf

Yes, the CZ-3D was designed primarily for finding older, deeper, coins from earlier sites. The best sites for using the new, enhanced, mode date from 1950, and earlier, however you still can hunt newer sites, and those older sites that are still in use, by using the Salt mode. The CZ-3D will then act the exact same as the CZ5 does when it is in Salt mode with the exception of having a new, fourth, tone. Some will say you will loose depth. That is true only to the extent of very small gold items, and women's thin gold bands, although the loss is very slight. Coin sized objects will still be found at typical CZ depths.

You can read more hints & tips on using the CZ-3D, along with all of Tom Dankowski's articles at http://www.TheTreasureLeague.com site. Just click on the Hints & Tips page, and follow the various links.

All CZ's, as well as all other metal detectors, require some learning curve. I can assure you that if you take the time to learn them, the CZ's are a formidable opponent for any brand, or model, out there.

Hope this helps,

Fisher started the forth tone with the CZ-70 series,
Also the Coinstrike had the forth tone.

Don't forget that the CZ-70 had deep target boost.
And most of what I've read about the CZ-3D is that First Texas took the CZ-5 and messed with the programing.

Also, the NEW Fisher (First Texas) does not honor Fisher's OLD lifetime warranty....

Sounds like yep, you finally put this thing to rest with a buy decision. No doubt it's a good one. Being a guy that digs solid low tones with the earlier CZ models I can tell you all things being equal I've made some good recoveries relatively shallow using that philosophy.

Of course digging bouncy targets deep also helps!

Looking forward to seeing your finds with the new rig!
 
I think your going to like the 3d glad to see your going to try one.
