Two small changes I'd like on a CZ21

[tvr]

Must be cabin fever setting in ... been thinking about how I use my CZ6A and CZ20 and what I'd like to see available on a new from the factory CZ21 to encourage me to buy a new one.

Two things that I think would be fairly simple things to do would go a long way towards me getting a new CZ21:

1) Have it available from the factory tuned so that a nickle sounds off mid-tone. Would like that so I have the option of just hunting mid-tones in the water.
2) Have the knob on the discriminator switch come with a longer, kind of flat, pointer that would make it easier to just flip between Auto Tune and discrimination of 0 even when I have the gauntlet gloves on. Would make it more enjoyable hunting in Auto Tune if it were an easy flip to disc 0 to check targets and flip back again without having to plant the scoop and use two hands on the detector.
Cheers,

For some reason my CZ21 hits nickels in the water at mid-tones. I don't know why, it's less than a yr. old and it still hits Gold and lead hard. On the 1st of Jan. I hit a 14k band & a 18k & plat. band. and a junker, on the 10th. I hit over 20 pieces of lead and some nickels in the same spot after some waves came in and stirred some sand up.

I'm with mud...my CZ20s & 21s have both hit nickels underwater in the midtone.

I wouldn't hunt just midtones in the water either. A few years back, I was only hunting midtones and on one hunt targets were so scarce that I was digging everything...even the low iron tones. I came upon a high tone that I dug and couldn't believe my lucky stars - it was a tricolor rose gold, pink gold, platinum Cartier wedding ring that gave a repeatable high tone even after digging it up. Needless to say, I dug all high tones after that...you just never know!

I'd like a remote toggle switch for autotune as well...something similar to the Excal pinpoint mod that OBN does. I hunt in disc 0 and switch to autotune to "pinpoint" instead of the actual pinpoint button.

I hear you on the big ticket high tones that might be missed if just digging mid tone. I normally dig all mid and high tones and sometimes the low tones too just to be sure. That said, I have hit a few times where it seemed the beach was seeded with pennies. Those few times are when I want to just dig mid-tones and don't want anything near a nickle or tab in conductivity ID as high tone. Not as much of an issue with my CZ6A, since I can see if the high tone is in the penny or nickle range on the meter; but the CZ20 I have (or the thought of getting a new CZ21) having the entire mid-conductor range sound as a mid-tone is what I really want to have.

I always hunt in either Autotune or on "0". If a ring is next to some iron and you are hunting in Disc. higher than "0", you stand a small chance to mask a good target. Dig it all.

Gold and nickels have hit mid, high, a combination of both and two have been bell tones. You just never know. Dig , dig , Dig

I would like a salt switch on the 20/21, even if it was buried in the battery compartment. It seems a shame that these detectors are salt-on all the time.

If I was really dreaming, I would like to be able to change out the coils.

Wait, since I am dreaming, how about a button on the side that would shoot electronically interfere with all other detectors within 100 yards. LOL No, that would be mean.
