Cz7a pro beats my buddies mine lab e-trac
June 06, 2018
My buddy has an E-trac, more often than not I'm finding good targets he
gets an iffy signal on. I bought my Fisher from him so he could buy the
minelab. He misses it still after several years. He bought the fisher new
in 1999. Frequently I Hunt wide open with no discrimination and have good
results. On old house sites I go ahead and notch out iron. I wish I had a
few more of these machines for extras. I recently found an 1815 Spanish 1/2
Real at 7 or 8 inches in a plowed field.
Max Depth: 11 inches on US quarter

Fisher CZ7a Quicksilver
April 26, 2012
A great detector even today!, it may be an older model now but can still
find the goodies. Works really well on wet sand beaches too.
For the price you can buy these for used they are a real bargain especially if you need a machine that you can use on a beach and on wet sand.
At 4 pounds in weight, they don't actually feel that heavy to use as they are well balanced.
They are built like a tank, and my used machine - although clearly used was in perfectly good working order and cosmetically very good considering its age now.
Can be bought used now for anything from £150 to £250 or sometimes more, depending on how much the seller wants and how much the buyer is willing to pay.
Not a common machine to find for sale now, but people that have these put away in their wardrobes or garages are starting to realise that now is a good time to sell them, as they are still fetching good money especially if they are in good cosmetic condition.
Originally costing $1095. 00 new, which is about £675. 00 in English money today, so an expensive detector for the time they were first sold back in about 1998, so these can be over 20 years old now!.
A dual frequency machine that has a 5kHz and a 15kHz dual frequency, this is what makes it a great detector on wet sand.
A good option then if you can't quite afford a Minelab Sovereign GT yet!, the CZ7a will see you by as great starting out detector for the money, so long as you don't mind buying a used machine that will not have any warranty.
Simple to operate, and can easily been learnt if you are a beginner with a little bit of research on using the machine, reading the manual and reading up on metal detecting in general. Although nothing can beat actually getting out and using the machine to gain experience with it.
OK better finish now, I wrote this from a beginners point of view and from a beginners experience in metal detecting, so I apologise for any mistakes if any in what I have written.

CZ7a - fast, easy, all around detector
December 26, 2005
The Cz7a has been a real treat to own and use. I have found like all
machines you must get to know it for it to be of any use. Once you know how
to operate and use the fun begins. I have found things such as a buried
womens purse with gold necklace inside (20 years buried)at 5 inches deep,
gold ladies ring (gave foil signal)lost at park, owner found, 1876 Indian
penny, old military buttons,at a road construction site 7 inches deep,1916
lincoln Penny at 8 inches deep, all around detector. Time + knowledge = finds with this machine. Like others have said, you will always dig trash to get the good stuff. Pick up a used one and try the notch buttons on the touch pad screen to just look for coins, or release to pick up the signals for pop tabs and foil when at the beach,might just find a ring or two, use in salt water or fresh, with the 7a pro you can detach the box and wade up to your butt in the surf. Do the research, grab your CZ 7a and go have some fun. Best fun for the money spent. If all you find is modern coins until you get more experience take this money and buy a coin or gold that will grow in value.We all have our own learning curve. I have come home with rashes on my legs from carrying the coins in my pants pockets found with this machine. Buy one and take your grandchildern "treasure hunting"
You will always find coins with this machine. You will find rare coins, you will find jewlery with this machine. Best of all you will find fun. I have the CZ7a and the CZ7a pro. I do not work for Fisher Corporation, Enjoy!

Works great
July 03, 2005
Another cz..works great. Will definetly pick out coins. Supposedly there's complaints about it missing some valuable targets. Newer cz's have the problem fixed.
Doesn't ignore Iron as well as high end Minelabs do.
Its heavy, but can be hip mounted.
The tones are easy to distinguish.
If you're looking at buying one of these now: I hope you're not going to spend more than $250 for it.......For $300 + I say get a used Soivereign, preferably with a meter.
