whites VX3 vs Fisher CZ 3D

[fishracepoint]

Hello all
Is this a fair comparison?
I realize the Whites has 3 frequencies and Fisher has 2 but I am not sure if that is an advantage.
Anybody out there ever run these 2 enough to give a good comparison.
Yes I am still looking and thought I had made up my mind to get the F19 but...

Thanks for all replies in advance

Had both. Like both. MUCH prefer the CZ-3D.

If old coins is what you're after, you won't find a better machine. The ONLY con is it is a heavy & unbalanced beast. However, the control box is removable and hip/chest mountable. Then it's a super lightweight!

Id stick with the F19 orr the F75ltd.....i didnt care for the CZ. But have no experience with the Whites. I do know that the CZ-3d wont do anything that the F75 dont do better!

You might compare the MXT-pro to the cz-3d but the VX-3 is closer to say the etrac.

The F-19 is a great machine mostly designed for relics an here's why. It is basically only a 2 tone machine. Depending on where you set the V-break. Everything above for instance a v-break of 40 (where iron stops) would be a VCO tone. Everything below is low tone. If you were wanting to use it for coin and jewelry everything sounds the same and you have to look at screen to determine what the target "might" be.

And to add to Fletch's post.....the F75ltd has: 1 tone, 3 different two tone versions, 3 tones, 3h tones(nickels are high tones), 4 tones, 4h tones, and Delta Pitch. I like 2f for relic hunting and 3 or 3h for coins.

Salty beach sand the CZ-3D does better than the F75. Outside of that environment the new F75 with DST outpaces the 3D.

I thought about the beach after i posted that.....but i wouldnt use the cz-3d anywhere near saltwater anyway. not a very sealed unit....and far from water resistant.

I use a CZ5 at salt water beaches without any problems. It is very deep and handles wet sand well. Wouldn't go into the water with it though.
