New cz-5,1st hunt,silver!

[downindixie]

I've been using a white's MD for last 30 years,I purchased a new Fisher cz-5 Tuesday and used it for the first time today.I found a 1956 quarter and a new penny althought I dug many holes on what I thought were good signals,I could not locate the coin.Pinpointing is going to be hard for me to learn I guess.

nice silver,i do most of my pinpointing with eight fingers and two thumbs,after the spade.

I used a white's all my life and learned to pinpoint with its solid coil and I could pop a coin out with a screw driver.Now using a coil with a hole right in the center where I can see the area I want to cut and I can't cut a 4" diameter hole and find the damn coin.

When you pinpoint with the cz5 pull off to the side about 3 inches and double click and hold the button in...this will cut the area down about half... you can do it again and cut it down smaller...I can pinpoint a coin in a 2 inch circle with my cz5...hope this helps and good luck with the cz5, they are money getters...Don

Yep, the CZ is an excellent PP machine. You'll get hte hang of it and be willing them out of the ground before long.

Nice quarter downindixie,
I've been using a CZ-6 for years and find it to be a great machine. In pinpointing, you can raise the coil a short distance above the target and this cuts down the area a little. Move the coil side to side and find the strongest signal.
Hang in there!
