More questions on CZ3d

[foreign object]

I hope i dont burn you guys out!

Reading Toms book Fisher Intelligence 4th edition brought up several questions.

Chapter 3 Creating the CZ3d for the real world on page 25 next to last paragraph he states ( if you hunt a new park or newly habitated area,the CZ3d in "enhance" mode could be a detectorists nightmare) Use the salt/enhanced mode wisely.

Question is why would/could the machine cause a problem in such places and how will it react in thse situations.

Brfoe i ordered the machine i went back 22 pages here and read everything i could and read the manual online and some say to run the machine in salt mode and others say not to.
Tom sort of sugest to switch to salt mode but does not really commit. What will running in salt mode do or not do for you.


I really do wish that he had elaborated at least some when be made those statnments.

As always i appericate you guys time and patience.

The CZ 3D is made for finding older coins. He's saying by being a nitemare you will be digging nothing but modern trash. Older coins will be in older parks at a certain depth level. Being in a new park you will never see that level. There is your nitemare.

Zinc 1 cent coins will sound a high tone and also register in the highest area of the meter. If you switch to the salt mode, you can discern the zinc from the copper 1 cent coins. The zinc will still sound the same, but the meter will register on the zn/salt area of the meter.

CZ3d made for older coins--Knew that
Older coins in older parks--yeap
New park wil never see that level--goes without saying
The nightmare will be you are going to dig nothing but trash-- why?
I appericate you replying but you still have not answered my question.

Also no answer on running in salt mode.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
Are there any other things that i should look out for.

I think alot of that is overhiped. I have used CZ-3D's since they came out and always hunt in enhanced mode regardless. I just keep my volume at 4 to get the modulated audio and sens. at 4-5 with disc at 0. Then I listen for those soft sweet deep tones and dig those and let the loud ones pass. I figure if it is deep then there is a good chance it is old.

Harold that makes sense to me.
Thanks

When running in enhanced it pulls some of the trash into the coin tone.
Simply pin-point and the meter will tell you deep or shallow.

Dig the deep ones, but also dig some of the shallow ones. Trash gets dropped over the good stuff.
So you need to clear some of it.

In salt mode the detector will high tone on nickels and everything in the copper, silver, clad range. In enhanced mode the range is opened up more to accept certain older coins: Indians, some tokens, etc. I believe there

Thats exactly how i work my ground also.

Regarding the 3D.....It's a nickel hog in salt mode and this mode will ID zincolns as such & you can choose to bypass them if you wish. Personally, after 30 years of detecting, I could care less if I ever dig another zincoln. That is the main reason I choose to use salt mode in newer areas where zincolns are everywhere. .

If I get to detect an older private yard or older park, I use enhanced mode cuz indian heads, 3 cent pieces, $5.00 gold coins & other older US coins will ID as high tones.

It just depends on where you wish to detect.
Good luck.............see ya yardhunter
