SOLD: Fisher CZ-6a in excellent, well cared for condtion.
Said I would never sell this machine, but since I've come down with a hopeless
case of "Gold Fever", I need to let it go so the proceeds can be re-invested
in a quality gold machine.
This CZ-6a and I have spent many a day together hunting old schools, parks and
playfields around W. Washington, and it never once let me down by not operating
perfectly. My partner had a CZ-5 (another deep coin killer) and this CZ-6a was always
able to get as strong, or stronger response on his deep targets than his machine (and
we both knew our machines very well). I have not detected much since then, and
that was back in the mid-90's, but the detector was always stored with the
batteries out, and carefully put away indoors.
After each day of use I would clean the machine well, as it just makes sense to take
good care of a detector that you rely on to perform well for you in the field. Although
there are a few light scratches on the plastic band around the case, the machine is
otherwise in clean, superb condition. I have checked it out thoroughly and it is performing
just as it should. Target depth, ID and Audio ID are nearly dead-on, easily ground balances and
was just tested on targets down to 8" deep without any issues at all. Pinpointing is as
easy as it gets, as the CZ-6a pinpoints to the center of the coil, so once you've pinpointed
the spot, all you need to do is reach down and stick a finger in the center hole of the coil
and you're dead on top of your target.
Includes the CZ-6a detector with original 8" Spider Coil. Headphones are needed, as the
case is sealed as a part of the factory's making the 6a "water resistant". I do not have
the original manual, however Fisher has made a manual for the CZ-5 available in pdf., and
as far as I recall the two machines controls/functions are identical:

Considering the machines condition, I am asking $425.00, which includes USPS Priority
Shipping to any US location. I would ask that the buyer pay the shipping insurance, if desired.
See pics below, and please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Would consider a trade for
an equally well cared for Gold Bug 2 or Gold Bug Pro.
