I Bought Fisher CZ 70 Pro Today

I think that I'm going to really like it. That sucker hits super deep on coins and it doesn't seem to have any EMI issues!

Congrats on your CZ-70 buy, it should serve you well. I have the new CZ-3D and I like the heck out of it, guess it's the nostalgia of the metered machine.

I got to use it out in the field and it did really well and I've been doing some testing with it out in my yard on different targets. I laid out some nails and a dime on the ground close together and tested to see what readings and tones that I got from my Omega, F75 and CZ 70 Pro. Both the Omega and F75 didn't give the correct VDI number or audio tone on the dime. The CZ 70 Pro gave the correct ID in both the audio tone and VDI.

I also found that using the CZ volume control of '4' works best with my Killer B Wasp headphone. With that setting I get good audio modulation and no noticeable depth lose on a buried silver dime.

So far I've been able to get really stable operation from the detector using maximum sensitivity (10), except for once and I had to reduce the sensitivity to '9'. There's no noticeable lose of depth until I decrease the sensitivity below '6', so it should do well at high EMI sites.

Going over the same search area with different detectors and search coils could be productive.

CZ's get max depth at 7 sens. Anything above that and they like to iron false a lot

Tab, have you ever read this publication by Tom D? It's a very good read on the cz platform.

Congratz on your new toy! I love that you are a detector collector like myself!

I sure did. It's a great read.

I liked the cz-5 and cz-3D ok but I did not get along with cz-70 pro. I preferred the knobs vs the bubble buttons of the 70

I'd like to hear experiences with the CZ 70 Pro on salt water beaches. It looks like this is the best detector for my use. I was going for a CZ 21 but I plan to never submerge it. It looks like they are essentially the same technology (dual-freq VLF) but the 70 is only splash proof. Correct? The salt water beaches I want to hunt have a lot of black sand. Thoughts?

Reliability issues? I'll be out of the US and returning it is not really an option.

Top, I can't help you with the salt water use of the CZ 70. Maybe someone else will chime in.
