That CZ6 I got works.......

[woodchiphustler]

Flawless. Very deep, accurate ID, strong auto tune all metal. I find my self reaching for the old classic instead of my thousand dollar machines. Back in the early 90's again.

 

[Dan-Pa.]

Old technology at its finest ought to cover it.

 

[Tony from Tidewater]

I realized years ago, it's one of the best machines out there......

 

[Gene]

Good to hear. Hope you dig all kinds of goodies !

If you're interested, I can give you a great tip on using it for relics. Something I discovered.

We're all eyes John.

Let's here it as I have some land down south I relic hunt. And I love my CZ-3D Tom tuned depth demon!

I need to finish my beer first.

Almost 20 years ago, I discovered an interesting feature of the CZ-5. On the one hand, if a nickle or medium tone relic is too deep, the CZ will sound off with an iron tone.

One way to go deeper is this: When you encounter a deeper, 'round' iron sound, whip the coil rapidly across it about 5 times. If the machine sounds off with a medium tone at least 3 times out of 5, it's a keeper!

I've found many older nickles, CW boolitts, and a nice canteen spout with the CW Soldier's initials on it using this technique. Remember, it has to be a medium soft sound. Be sure to keep the center of the coil over the target.

Now please excuse me while I finish my next beer.

I remember that trick when I started relic hunting in E Tennessee - found a few really deep 3-ringers that behaved exactly as you described - soft medium tones that would sometimes bounce into the iron range. Of course, during a relic hunt I've always dug EVERYTHING and have been rewarded with some cool iron shrapnel - on one occasion I found two bits of a Hotchkiss shell that fit together!!!

Going back over those same areas with the Deus only turned up a couple more bullets that were 10-11" deep, and were hard to hit with that machine at that time!

 

[HaroldILL.]

I think with the CZ-3D you don't have to do that trick as everything is raised a category higher.

Thats how i found the deepest coin i ever found,a v nickle at elbow deep..insted of the medium-high tone bounce i was getting the low iron medium nickle bounce,a rare event..It was the deepest coin i ever dug,,s.t
