The Best Detectors/ NASA TOM

[Anonymous]

I just want to say I had a chance to buy some of the top of the line detectors out there. I learned them all and understood how they worked. Then I went out and hunted with them. I will have to say is, they all had their tricks but non of them could out do my CZ3 and 70 Pro. For depth and locking on tragets and clean sensativity, no company could match my Fisher's!
On my test garden (six years old) dimes, nickels, quaters, and silver, nothing could hit as deadly as the Fishers. We have to give a big thumbs up to NASA Tom. He made things easy for us and let the detector do all the hard work. I know that Tom works to design detectors that can do more and make the hobby interesting. I think we are all waiting for the next generation of detector. But I found that what I use to detect for now is the best machine's out there.
The ground is parks and schools are getting more trash and more land is getting replanted, so they are digging up the ground to make parks and schools look nicer. It is harder for us to find the deeper stuff but it is still out there and it takes a great detector to find it. Thanks TOM and Fisher can't wait to see what new high end detector you will have out next!

Hope your right lawrenzo,i am more than happy with the 1236 but want something better but as easy to understand.So got my cz3d coming soon <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin">,i will let you all know how i get on with it. UKman

Tom indeed over the years has along with Fisher come up with some nice innovations that were incorporated into present Fisher products..Above all his info to the forum along with videos and field tests and the like has sure helped many become better detectorists.
Hats off for a job well done as he has taken the confusion out of a lot of aspects and have to admit learned a few things along the line even though I have been using a Fisher CZ for years.

Though the tiny meter pictures modern US coins & trash, the 3D has the power to probably sniff out those tiny coins like thin hammereds, scets, etc. Just don't go by the meter & dig anything but iron. I used a Coin$trike there, but wouldn't hesitate to use a CZ in the UK. Plus, I know your soil is so non-mineralized you can probably run sensitivty a bit higher than us "Yanks" can <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=""> Be sure to let us know how you do.....HH, Bill

Thanks bill,should be getting the 3D in the next few days and i cant wait to try it out.And i will certaily keep you informed on this board how it does,thanks again. UKman

I keep wondering why if U.K. soil is so neutral there are many areas of the country where its difficult to pick out a coin on top of the ground. I've had several U.S. visitors in the last few years and the constant moan is about the ground conditions. Many U.S. detectors are sold with a fixed ground balance and the first modification that has to be made before they can be sold over here is an adjustable ground balance.

I like your statement about soil conditions .
It sounds like the soil conditions vary just like they do here in the USA and it does come as a handy excuse sometimes why such and such detector does not do so good yet some operators can get the job done where others can't. Also if a detector needs to be setup for the environment it has to be the type that can get it done. such as ground balance adjust for change in ground conditions as may exist from place to place.
I do believe soil conditions vary and the variance does not include entire countries either I can't figure your soil is the same each and every place you operate a detector. ( even if soil is similar there may be a variance in metal obstacles in the ground matrix) types of clay, types of pottery shards most anything . Here in USA I have found my detectors will vary in their best setups in different places and one detector will work any place setup pretty much the same no matter where I use it.

I have only hunted in the Colchester area myself. But in that area I was able to run my Coinstrike & CZ wide open. Sensitivity maxed out :thumbup Maybe your in a bad area, or your US buddies had units that were not like mine? The Coin$trike seems to do real well over there. What part of the UK are you in??
