Just Traded For A CZ-70 Pro

[CentralMassHunter]

After having a very frustrating month with a Minelab Quattro, I decided to trade the unit in with another treasure hunter for a mint CZ-70. I just recieved the CZ in yesterday's mail, and will be using it for the first time today & tomorrow.

I have had a Fisher 1266-X for a long time and had much success with it, and now I realize that I should have stuck with Fisher all along. At least now I know to stay away from MInelab, and stick with the brand that really performs for me.

Anyway, I wanted to ask those of you with alot of experience with the CZ-70, what are some of the tricks to gain extra depth or unwritten operating tips for this fine detector?

Thanks In Advance!

There are no tricks. It's a CZ and it loves deep coins without them! If you've got a good set of headphones set the cz volume to 4 and listen for the deep faint "ticks". Also for now set the sensitivity at 4 and leave it alone for a while. I hunted with the cz7 for almost 10 years before buying my cz70and the sensitivity parameters are not the same. I was able to jack the sens up on the cz7 to 10 without problems. The cz70 however is much hotter and gets crazy if you set the sens too high. I have been able to get it to 6 on a few occasions without problems...but definately no higher.
You might dig a few nails at first but you will be able to differentiate between nails and a good signal with a little practice. If the signal is repeatable as you circle the target then its a good target 90% of the time. If the signal breaks up in any way...then it's probably not good most of the time.
All of this post is my own personal experience here in IL so it may be different for others.
Good luck and you will LOVE the cz70. I will always keep it no matter what else comes out.
