TARGET RECOVERY

Once you have identified and pinpointed a target, your objective is to recover it quickly and neatly, leaving virtually no trace of your excavation. There are almost as many ways to do this, as there are treasure hunters. Whatever works for you is good enough as long as you don’t break any laws, damage vegetation, or leave uncovered holes. Generally speaking, beachcombers do little if any damage to the environment while recovering targets. However, if you plan to use your CZ-3D on lawns or in parks, your target recovery method can be very important. Two of the most successful methods are illustrated in a separate booklet "Origin of the M-Scope/Target Recovery" enclosed with your detector .

1.Use headphones. You’ll hear fewer distracting sounds and more target sounds. And you’ll find more.

2.It’s always a good idea to walk slowly and overlap your sweeps. But if you’re searching large expanses of new territory you may want to walk a little faster and not overlap your sweeps as much until you start making a few good finds. Then, slow down, overlap your sweeps and cover every inch of ground.

3.In trashy areas, to reduce the “masking” effects of trash on nearby good targets, use a shorter and slower sweep pattern. Also, the optional smaller 5-inch search coil will zero in on good targets closer to trash.

4.When in doubt, dig. If your CZ-3D can’t quite decide whether a target is good or bad, dig it up.

5.Good things often come in twos. Or even threes. Once you’ve recovered a good target, always recheck the hole for a second signal and carefully search the immediate area by walking slowly around the hole two or three times, overlapping your sweeps in an ever widening circle. Always dig every suspicious sound in the vicinity of a good find.

6.Recheck your hole even if your find was trash. Good targets are often found beneath the bad ones.

7.Practice. Practice over known targets. Practice ground balancing. Practice pinpointing. Reread the appropriate part of this manual if you’re having problems.

NOTE: Whichever method you choose, remember that responsible treasure hunters take pride in their ability to leave soil and vegetation intact and undamaged.

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.
