Fisher CZ-21 rookie needs help - Hoping the T'net Pros W/CZ's can help. TY
Hello all, thanks for viewing this link.
It's been 15 years since I had been into detecting with my Garrett Ace and White's Coinmaster, boy how times have changed. I recently purchased a Fisher CZ-21 after finally making a choice to fit my needs (Saltwater & dry land). I've spent the last month reading and studying literature on the CZ.
I finally had a chance to take it out and get to train with it, and although I am VERY happy with this machine, there are a few things that are puzzling me that perhaps one of you pros can help with.
First here are the conditions in which I was working. It was a saltwater beach in a cove area of Rhode Island, it was low tide and I was working the wet sand area. I was mainly working in “Auto Tune” or all-metal mode, ground was at about 6 (5 would hum), sense was about 5 or 6, volume at 7. Surface was about 3 inches of wet sand, below that is like a dark gray, blackish mud.
Here are my 2 questions.
1)Repeating signal in 1 direction only – straight in front of me – level swing – 1” to 1.5 “ off ground.
2)Disappearing signal – good signal for 3 to 5 passes of the coil over the spot – then no signal.
Also, when setting my ground, should I leave a LITTLE bit of audio tone when setting, or should I back of until it is silent ?
Thank you for any input, your time and knowledge is appreciated greatly.
