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.

CZ-3D specifications

The Fisher CZ-3D is a highly respected metal detector renowned for its sensitivity and versatility, particularly among treasure hunters and coin collectors. Fisher Laboratories, with a rich history in the metal detection industry, developed the CZ-3D to cater to more experienced users who seek depth, precision, and advanced features in their detecting devices.

One of the main features of the CZ-3D is its ability to detect both ferrous and non-ferrous metals with exceptional accuracy. This dual function allows users to identify a wider variety of targets, from coins and jewelry to relics and artifacts. The CZ-3D is specifically tuned to recognize the nuanced differences among targets, which significantly improves the detectorist's chances of locating valuable finds while ignoring unwanted trash.

The CZ-3D employs an advanced discrimination system that expertly filters out undesirable metals. This is particularly valuable when hunting in trashy areas where targets can be closely situated. The device features a unique “3D” mode, which aids in evaluating targets before they are unearthed. This mode also allows user to experience a more intuitive understanding of the ground conditions and target depths, enhancing overall efficiency.

Another notable characteristic of the CZ-3D is its exceptional depth performance. It utilizes a dual-frequency technology, operating at both 5 kHz and 15 kHz. This capability enables the detector to achieve greater penetration into the ground, providing the ability to locate deeper targets that many other detectors might miss. This is especially useful in areas with high mineralization where standard detectors may struggle.

Ergonomics also play a crucial role in the design of the CZ-3D. The device features a lightweight construction that ensures comfortable usage over extended periods. The adjustable shaft and user-friendly control layout allow for easy customization to suit individual preferences. Users can conveniently access settings such as sensitivity and discrimination levels, enhancing the overall user experience.

Water-resistant components make the CZ-3D suitable for various hunting environments, allowing operations in wet or humid conditions. This versatility broadens the scope of potential searching locations, from beaches and parks to rivers and fields.

In summary, the Fisher CZ-3D is distinguished by its powerful detection capabilities, advanced discrimination features, dual-frequency technology, and ergonomic design. For serious treasure hunters and coin collectors, the CZ-3D represents a dependable tool that combines innovation with practicality, making it a preferred choice for those aiming to uncover hidden treasures beneath the earth.
