My New CZ-70 Rocks!

Just got it 2 days ago and I put it together this afternoon, went to our backyard here in California just to test it. I'm using it for 5 minutes when I get a good signal. Dig it up and lo and behold, it's an 1862 Italian 5 centesimi!!:yikes Mind you this is a backyard we resodded and have hunted every square inch of several times.
I'd post a picture but it needs a bit of cleaning. What a first find! I think that's my oldest coin yet.

Well, I have a Coin$trike but after more than a year just wasn't clicking with it. Used to use a CZ-7A, had good luck with it so I decided to get the CZ-70. GLAD I DID!
 
After hunting with the CZ-7a Pro, the CZ-70 should be like an old friend. It's the exact same machine except with the extra tone and icon change from Square Tab to Relic. It's definitely a killer machine.
 
No surprise to me in fact every CZ is a good one in my book.Good luck with your new unit and as Mike says almost identical to the CZ7A pro so this should be the first of many good finds...I personally like the CZ7A rod mount with batteries under the armcup that last forever.Tad heavier than most CZ's but love the baterry time and ergonomics and weighting. Sort of a rock solid digital version...
 
If not, you should really consider it, they are great. I can get 3+ inches depth with the FZ1 pinpointer while its attached to either my CZ70 or CZ3d. I test drove the FZ1 on my new 3d this morning, and WOW, it worked great. :puke
 
also will get a minimum of 3" depth with the pinpointer probe, which is at least 3 times the depth of my Vibraprobe 560 or Bullseye pinpointer. Plus since the FZ1 is an inline probe, it utilizes the tones of your machine to identify targets + your detectors descrimination settings + the sensitivity of the of the machine as well.

When I have mine attached to my 70, with sensitivity at 4, I hit a penny at 3 + inches deep. Just think of the FZ1 probe as a very small coil.

I hooked the FZ1 probe up to my new 3d this morning and tried it out and it worked every bit as well as it did on my CZ70. What I will do a lot of the time is once I hit & recover a target & before standing back up, I will take the FZ1 probe and pass it over the area as far as I can reach with the cord attached. This way I can recover a few more shallow targets before standing up. Well I say shallow, but some of them this morning were a good 3-4" deep.

The final plus in my opinion, is when you have that hard to find target in the hole and even sticking the probe in the hole, you still can't pinpoint it very well, you can push the pinpoint button on the machine, which will help you zero in one the target and recover it easier.

Now, the draw backs of the FZ1, well, the main draw back is, if you own and use several other detectors, then the FZ1 wouldn't help with the other machines unless they are CZ's. I own all CZ's right now, so it works great for me. The only other draw back is, unlike the Vibraprobe or Bullseye, the FZ1 is sensitive along most of its shaft rather then just at the tip. But the tip is the most sesitive part of the FZ1, so its not that big a deal.

I'm not a salesman for Sunray and don't benefit from this at all, I only state the facts as I see them. But I think you would like the probe. Now, the FZ1 is like any other probe or pinpointer, you have to get used to it. Heck, when I first got mine I wasn't sure about it, but now I think its great, the same with the Vibraprobe, when I first got it, I didn't like it, but now I think they are some of the best probes made, I just wish it had a little more depth.

Well, I hope this helps,

HH,
Mike
 
I had the coinstrike also but it didn't work out. The 70 pro is so nice to use and loves coins that are close by or masked.
