Notch system on CZ-7

[Buried Crap NJ]

OK guys I went and bought this detector used, It works great. I bought it as a back up. I not sure I am doing this correctly. When I press the notch button and then I pass a target over the coil it beeps but does not show what I passed over it,(no Bar) so I can notch it in or out? I thought that you could pass a gold ring over it and notch it in via the bar it correspond too then pass a pull tab and notch it out. I used it only once and I notched everything in minus iron and when on a beach hunt. I did good and I did dig lots of trash but I want the rings and gold and I am well aware of how that happens. I have been doing this 30 yrs. I am just not familiar with the Fisher detectors. This detector just came back from Fisher and the shop paid 125.00 for the checkout service. Can someone walk me thought the steps. I have the manual. I must be doing something wrong. I did good on the beach no gold but good clad count. steve

I about 100% certain that on the CZ' s you cannot notch a particular item out by passing it under the coil and then hitting the notch. That is something you can do with a Minelab Xterra 70 with its accept/reject button, for each object rejected you have rejected (notched out) a narrow window 2 ID numbers wide. I believe on the CZ's you are just using the controls to notch certain broader segments in or out, such as iron or pulltabs or foil. If you notch out for pulltabs or foil, you have notched out all objects that fall in those segments, including some gold rings, so unless you are only cherrypicking, then most CZ users only notch out for iron and many that are hunting heavily pounded sites are now not notching out anything in order to listen to everything and perhaps pull a few remaining deep silver/copper coins from out among deep iron.

I need to make clear that I was talking about the digital CZ's that notch segments out (selective notching) with the push pad controls.
I think the analog models have a dial and you notch everything out below where the dial is set ... you cannot select certain segments. I think the CZ6 and CZ7 and CZ3D were analog and the CZ7a and the CZ70 are digital. I think the CZ5 was also analog.

Steve,

Cliff is correct. If you just want find gold, your best option is to notch out everything except foil, pull-tabs and nickels (no bars showing on iron, zn and $$).

I wish more machines allowed notching out ANY TID segment, that's a pretty good option for beach hunting

If you want gold good luck! Notch iron and zinc out, hit soccer fields, beaches and playgrounds. Dig the coins and consider them battery money, and note you won't be missing silver jewelry that way!
