TARGET IDENTIFICATION

7.Set your discrimination at an appropriate level. If there’s very little trash in the area, set it low, say at iron discrimination and dig every good signal. If there is a lot of trash present and you’re mainly interested in coins, set the discrimination level high—you may even want to sacrifice nickels and zinc pennies in extremely trashy areas. If you’re looking for gold rings, relics, artifacts, or small ancient coins, you’ll have to set your discrimination level low. The best way to find out how low is to bury some sample targets or just dig everything for awhile until you get a feel for which target classifications will be the most productive.

8.Look for repeatable signals and don’t waste time on disappearing or one-way signals. If you hear a good beep but can’t repeat it when you go back over the target area, or if it beeps in only one sweep direction, it’s probably a piece of trash—something below your discrimination setting.

9.If you’re in a relatively non-trashy area, try searching in the Autotune mode and then identify your targets by switching to DISC = 0. You’ll find more and deeper targets this way.

10.If you’re having any difficulty pinpointing or identifying a target in the ID mode, don’t waste any more time. Push the pinpoint button for quick pinpointing then release it for accurate ID.

11.If your target disappears when you go into the Pinpoint mode, you’ve probably tuned it out by pressing the button too close to the target or over another piece of metal. Try again, this time pushing the PINPOINT button over another piece of ground.

12.Don’t waste a lot of time digging holes for targets you can’t find if your hole keeps getting deeper and wider, cover it up and go on. You may be over a buried pipe or some other large deep target.

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.
