Fisher CZ-3D manual Target Identification

TARGET IDENTIFICATION

1.Once you’ve located a target, pinpoint its exact location as in the “Pinpointing” procedure. Since accurate ID is dependent on accurate pinpointing, it is recommended that you always press the PINPOINT button rather than try to pinpoint your target in either the Autotune or Target ID mode.

2.Once you’ve pinpointed your target, release the PINPOINT button. If you’re searching in the Autotune mode, switch over to DISC = 0. If you are already in the Target ID mode, just leave the DISC control where it is.

3.Move the coil just enough, left-right-left, across the target to get a good signal. The meter needle should lock onto a target classification, which in turn will agree with the audio response (one of 4 tones)

4.If you no longer get a meter reading or audio response once you’ve pinpointed the target, then you’re over something that falls below the DISC setting you’ve chosen and the CZ-3D is rejecting it.

5.Here’s a quick and easy way to tell the difference between a small shallow piece of foil and a gold ring (or other possibly good target) without digging: if you get a good solid, “FOIL” ID, set the search coil down close to the target and then whip it rapidly across the target just once with what can best be described as a flick of the wrist. If the target disappears, it’s probably a small shallow piece of foil. If not, dig it up—it could be that gold ring you’re looking for. Practice this over some foil until you get the hang of it.

6.Don’t be afraid to turn your sensitivity down. True, the higher the sensitivity, the deeper your CZ-3D will go and the more you’ll find. But that’s only under optimum conditions. If you’re getting a lot of false signals caused by electrical interference, ground mineralization or dense trash, lower your sensitivity. If you have to back it down to 4, 3 or even 2 to eliminate the falsing, do it. That’s what your SENSITIVITY control is for. You’ll be surprised at how much you might find in an area that would otherwise be unsearchable

at high sensitivity levels. 20
