Setting up the CZ7A for a battle site hunt...

I may have a chance to hunt a battle site from 1504. Would just turning on the CZ, not notching out anything and ground balancing be an appropriate setup? It's mostly forest now. I want it to find iron as most of the weaponry was made of iron. The battle was fought 7/8 Aug 1504 and approximately 1000 men died at this site. A great point to the date is, the grassy field where it was fought would have grown very high by this time of year, anything dropped had a good chance to be lost, until I come along with a Fisher, LOL, it will be a perfect machine for this type of hunt, if it weren't so darn heavy! I have the museum and historical society backing me up and doing the permit work. We'll see what happens. They get first dibs on the finds but I really don't care, and the site is only 10 minutes from the house. Would appreciate any advice on the settings. HH, Mike
 
Looks like the site is way out so would take a shovel run with nothing notched out..I really think the iron may be troublesome but the settings are up to you taking into consideration the foreign coins that may be found...
if it weren't so darn heavy(quote)...Mike shorten your lower rod and let your arm fully extended and am sure it will seem lighter...Heck am a senior citizen( not a weight lifter) and this rod mount doesn't bother me....Batteries under armcup make it better weighted than other CZ models...
 
You're right about the swing and length I have it set to, I swing my elbow mostly, will try shortening the stem. I'm not sure there will be any coins there, for sure a few will pop up but, it's a very old battle site. Really makes me wonder, would a soldier have taken his valuables into battle, possibly losing it? Or would he have burried it? Or would he have anything valuable like coinage with him? This was a long drawn out build up, staged over several months before the battle happened. Thanks again Dan and HH, Mike
 
If your unit will allow? Use the hipmount style.It is very effience.
