If I kept my original CZ6 that I had converted to a CZ6A in 92 would have been way ahead in time bucks, learning, trading buying trying them all and imagine it would still would be working well. Looking at the lightweight cheesy made units from many companies that are going in for updates and the like are we going backwards..Sure a CZ won't do it all and prefer a more accurate metered unit from that era for local parks..Old units for an old guy I guess but why fix what ain't broke....

Dan, part of the fun is trying different detectors, and I can think of 16 different detectors I have tried to find the detector that does about everything I want it to do...a CZ5. Always been a Fisher fan and used 1200x series detectors for many years until I got my first CZ.
I am not interested in those cheesy over hyped machines that are supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. I like the simplicity of the CZ detectors... no fiddling with the controls... just set it up and hunt. The cz's might be older technology , but they get the job done and do it well.

I just let the other guys brag about how deep their detectors go and smile to myself. CZ's will chew em up and spit them out.

To this day the hottest machine I ever had coil for coil was a CZ-3D original first run machine. But like a damn fool traded it in the latest and greatest machine. After about a week with the new machine called the dealer and tryed to get my old machine back and it was gone like the wind! I bought a new one and it wasn't as hot. I bought a couple more including a 1021 machine and they were still not the same. Boy I should have kept that first machine! Don't get me wrong I love my current machine,But when it came to pure raw depth coil for coil it or any other machine I have had would not touch that first CZ-3D I had.
I'd still be using my original CZ-5 if it hadn't gotten stolen in 1997. That's the only reason I moved up to the CZ-7. Of course the CZ-20 was for those places the CZ-5 couldn't go. The CZ-7 went belly up after 10 years and I was stuck with the CZ-20 solo for a couple years until last year when Oh Joy, got that used CZ-5 that was like new!
Then when I hear a couple guys I hunt with who won't tell me when they're going to sites I've directed them to and they are swinging some E-machine and gasping at the AWESOME 9-10" coins..... Well let's just say there's more than few 10-12" coins they WON'T find there.
I've used a couple other machines in the interim, the 1235X and BH's for the light work, where they get the job done. And the F70 is great for targets 8" or less.
But at the old farm house I'll be at tomorrow, where the house stood from the 1850's to about 1900, so little to no house trash is around except nails and it's now cut corn field, which one machine would you take? Okay, we know, but which coil(s)? Right again, all of them. 5", 8" and 10.5".

Hi Dan-Pa, I just got a CZ6 that has been converted to CZ6A. I will be needing alot of help, so you will be hit alot with questions. I think this one can be hip mounted can,t it? Comes with the 8" coil, almost had the 5" but someone pumped quieter than i could and out bid me. This is changed to take the 5pin coils is what the guy said. Is this detector rain and splash proof like the CZ7A? I told you i will ask alot of questions as i think of them. If you get tired of me i will just ask someone else. I just picked you because i seen this post. I know alot of people on here is a library of info, so please open up for me, because i have a hard time learning things. Thanks ALL Dean
If I kept my original CZ6 that I had converted to a CZ6A in 92 would have been way ahead in time bucks, learning, trading buying trying them all and imagine it would still would be working well. Looking at the lightweight cheesy made units from many companies that are going in for updates and the like are we going backwards..Sure a CZ won't do it all and prefer a more accurate metered unit from that era for local parks..Old units for an old guy I guess but why fix what ain't broke....[/quote]
