Quote from CZ3D owners manual about pull tabs and gold

[Reeseb]

Here is the quote"

"Most metal detectors have a difficult time separating gold rings, nickels, tabs, and foil, but, the patented circuitry of your CZ-3D can easily tell the difference between nickels and most trash. Better yet, it will allow you to find many types of gold rings while completely ignoring at least some types of pull tabs and small pieces of foil."

So what does it mean?

I can understand that the first sentence is referring to the fact that nickels have been moved out of the mid tone range and into the high tone range via the circuitry and I am guessing that the second sentence is saying that, due to the fact that gold rings can sometimes ID like nickels, gold rings will also sometimes ring up as a high tone.

Is that all it it saying?

Nickles on older CZ's and the CZ3D always gave a high tone..Difference is with the CZ3D it also includes older nickles such as the shield and V which come in lower than Jefferson nickels...Basically telling you the CZ3D is a good nickel unit..
As far as the rest of the sentence typical hype as some gold rings come in tabs and foil along with most of the foil and tabs which are quite plentiful in most parks..Certainly can't tell you a gold ring from the trash that imitates it...a play of words at best.....

Thanks. That's what I thought. I'm glad I have an X-705 that I use when I am hunting exclusively for gold. The CZ3D wouldn't be hassel. I'd have to diog high tones if I wanted to dig all gold signals.

To read between the lines, the CZ's have a very narrow 'nickel window' (probably the narrowest on all units). Hence when using a CZ in combination with the tones AND meter, when one gets a high tone nickel reading, it's almost always a nickel, and can also be a gold ring that hits in the nickel conductivity range.

Most aluminum and pull tabs do not fall into the nickel conductivity range ( but they CAN, if shaped correctly or have another conductive target right next to them).

As far as the 3D goes, when in enhanced mode, older coins, IN DIRT, will ring out as high tones and ID a bit more accurately than a regular CZ in normal mode.

It's kinda cool to hunt in enhanced mode in older territory with a 3D and when one gets a nice high tone coin signal, switch to regular mode and see if the ID changes.

One other feature of the 3D as opposed to the older analog CZ's is the 4th 'foil' tone, where one can tone hunt searching for small gold jewelry and not have to look at the meter and just concentrate on that tone. Lots of foil digging though !

On a totally different note...I have a 705 too and like that unit a lot.
