Question for CZ users(awesome forum!!)

Right now I am a xlt user soon to be a CZ user. I was wondering what you guys and girls got depth wise when you buried a dime or what you got on a dime in your test bed. I just took a 1/2" piece of conduit and punched a hole 6" deep( clean ground, nothing in all metal) I made sure the dime was flat and filled the hole back in. Guess what? Couldn't detect it..Got it in all metal but in disc. nilch..Thanks
 
Ron,
Thats not at all unusual in my experience. We have what I consider decent ground and won't always hit a fresh buried dime at 6-8". Not to worry! Try setting the ground balance a bit negative, it may help. <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug">

It really depends on the soil. Clay is murder for depth. I have a 3D that will air test to 11" but put a coin in clay soil and it disappears just like yours. I can pick up a dime down to 5" in clay but not at 6". I have found coins down to 7" but that one was in sandy river silt. Lots of other guys on here have found them deeper but I find for the most part in my area, the coins don't sink far. I'm in West Virginia and you can't dig down past 5" in my area without hitting clay or rock.

I dont have a test garden but,I dug a barber dime at 10". I also had a xlt and a dfx sold them both and got a CZ-3D.I have never looked back!Deph is the main reason I sold both of my whites machines.I have found more in six months with the CZ-3D than I did in two years with those whites machines!Trust me you are making the rite decision!
 
Funny,
My venerable cz5 will actually find the coin better in disc mode and go right past it in autotune mode. To answer your question directly I can tweek it out at 9"-10" with a silver dime in my soil.
 
I planted a test garden a couple years ago, and still can't pick up the 6" deep dimes <img src="/metal/html/frown.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":(">
However, I've gone down to 8" on a quarter is similar soil here.
Learning your machines nuances are a must. The past year or so, I've been pulling GOOD coins, including a couple silver halves, out of pounded trashy areas. Both the halves had a nail in the hole with them, and most of my other targets are usually in close proximity to junk. Once you learn to dig the iffy's, and which iffy targets can be good, you'll amaze yourself.
