Warranty

[Fletch88]

Are Fisher warranties transferrable on say a CZ-3D?

No. Only original owner since First Texas took over.

Thanks Sandman. I'm doing a trade on a NASA Tom tuned 3D that is one year old and was just curious about warranty.

Nickel count about to go up in 3…2…1...

That's what I read when researching about N.Tom and the 3D's development. Looks like a very solid machine!

The CZ-3D is a great machine with excellent depth, the only cons of it are it likes deep rusty nails and the added 4th tone or relic symbol you will dig more trash than coins. It was mainly designed to hunt really old sites where you want to dig everything above small iron. What was the depth verification from Tom D. on the machine your getting?

One of then concerns I had when I got my 3D was the deep rusty nails. Truth is, I dig WAY less iron with this machine than I do with ANY others. A simple 360 walk around will spot the iron 9/10.

I would do the 360 but the big rusty square nails 8-10" down would still give you a high tone. My saying is when in doubt dig it out and I always did.

If it's deep it's probably old!

if it's deep and sounds good,I'm gonna dig it!

88junior, I'm not sure about depth verification. I haven't found a machine yet, except maybe the Sovereign, that I won't dig bent rusty nails or field fence staples. I got in a "nail" bed with my CTX one day and could have sworn every target I was about to dig was a piece of clad or silver and iron. The audio was good, target looked very clean without the splotched screen or bouncing icon, but no coin anywhere.

CZ & iron

That's half the explanation. The other half is as follows.
1. Don't use discrimination to knock anything out, hear everything.
2. Deep targets have a tendency to misidentify ferrous/nonferrous. Hear the iron tones, they tell you that you've swung over the target, but ignore the iron tone ID itself.
3. As you do the 360, pay attention to the target ID's that show up when you don't get the iron tone.
4. A coin will usually give fairly consistent ID regardless of the direction of the sweep. Iron ID (when it shows up in the nonferrous categories) will tend to bounce around a whole lot depending on the direction of the sweep.

Thanks Dave! I have read a post from Tom about only using enhanced mode in pre 1950 sites and have seen several videos where they were using salt mode on land. Opinions on this?

 

[88junior]

Dave J I thought the audio was the reliable source to go by on detectors and not the ID when the target is deep. I recently got a Fisher ID Excel due to the 4 tone audio, it has amazed me so far. But I guess I need to start paying attention to my ID screen more often than going by tones and it may help not dig as much iron.Thanks for the tip.

I'm looking for a used one myself. Hopefully a 1021 serial #.

Fella is right on! I own a CZ5. It is a myth that the CZs love deep iron...I've always used that same technique as Fella does and is rarely fooled by deep iron....Don't really know how that fallacy came about, but if you really know your CZ3D, CZ5...you won't have problems with deep iron....My CZ5 is 20 years old and still going strong! Knock on wood!....Don't want to jinx it.....HHing...

 

[Fletch88]

Well I've found a machine with 2X as bad a balance as the Etrac. I've only played around with the 3D In my testing ground and think she will be a keeper. It will take some getting used to not having a threshold. Straight shaft modification is definitely in the works.

 

[88junior]

Fletch I used a detecting buddy sling when I had my CZ3D and Etrac they really help on the weight and balance of the machine.

 

[Fletch88]

Yes I have used them I just hate being bunged up to a sling or harness, because I wear one 40-50 hrs a week at work while using a vibration data collector. I will give it a try though. My CZ was NT calibrated 1-14 and nickels ring up as a high tone.

I put my CZ control box in a tool belt pouch. A small hole in the bottom allows the cord to be attached . That way, I am only swinging the coil & rod.
