A very deep coin finder.
Ray in USA -Took a few days to get the feel of the 3D but then everything changed. I've owned many detectors and I like the performance of the 3D. Yea I have dug a couple of deep nails but if you are a experienced detectorist and listen (and sweep at different directions) you won't dig very many. If you want to dig modern coins and jewelry then get a CZ6a or a CZ5. If you want to dig old coins and old stuff then get a 3D. If your patient and stick to the older area's you won't be dissapointed. Just go slow and listen for the softer deeper signals and for the first week or so just dig everything so you can understand what your machine is telling you. It's a excellent detector that I could take to any old park in my area and find old coins and stuff with realitive ease. It's the deepest tone ID unit I have ever used with a 8 inch coil and you will not be disappointed with it's power. Run the sens at 3 to 5 at first then higher with more experience. Run volume at max and set your disc at iron so you can hear it all. Remember when in doubt about a signal then let your trowl do the discriminating and dig!

Best nickel machine I ever had .
Larry in western New York -
This is a nice machine .The only reason why I didnt give it 5 stars is because its heavy and not as well balanced as others out there .This can be solved by hip mounting .
You can use it as a turn on and go with the factory presets or you can mess with the controls if you want .This machine loves nickels .

Just didn't like the nail grabber!!!
John N. in Seattle WA -
Why buy a detector and put up with multiple hours of trying to decipher it's mail.... mystery!! This unit is good but I'm just not happy with it's disc;which is truly poor if your trying to stop digging nails/iron! Has great depth and seems almost like a pulse hybrid....yes I did dig coins at 10 to 14 inches in wet sand....along with enough nails to start a lumber yard.Sorry; this ones a " no go" in my book!

blows the whites XL pro(6000) away period!
Tom in Hollywood, FL -can you say depth? this machine is awesome. Not alot of crazy signal readings in wet sand beaches like the whites xl pro(which I loved until I discovered this machine) Throw the discrimation feature out because it is junk. Set this baby to no discimation mode and find dimes 10 inches deep in wet sand. I still dont believe it!

Super Machine that teaches Patience!!
Steve in Beckley, West Virginia -As a newbie to detecting I did a lot of research and gambled on the 3D. The first month I really questioned my choice. I didn't understand it's love of rusted nails. I dug enough to roof my house! Twice!! But refusing to give up I put in a lot of time and dedicated practice. Then it seemed to hit me all at once. I figured out the iron mystery and the machines little quirks. It was a real revelation and my quality targets took off like crazy! Rings, Silver, Wheats. I sometimes had a feeling like I was cheating or something.
When I leave the house with this machine I'm always confident that I will find something interesting.And I do with a frequency that blows my friends minds. I've got to the point that I can show up to any property and find at least a hand full of wheats with ease. And the ratio is about 10 to 1 wheats to some kind of Merc, Silver quarter or the like! I know the big score is just a matter of time. The depth is top shelf. The 3D regulary and solidly identifies targets to 8 inches. I've recovered a few hovering in the 10 inch range with the stock coil. Pin pointing is dead on. I rarely find a silver off center of the pin point. Sometimes wheats can drift an inch or so, but I believe this is due to the corrosion factor. I really agree with the reviewer that stated you get "Jedi" about coins with this unit. It has become an extension of my senses. I see them on Ebay for super prices sometimes. Just buy the darn thing and "unlearn what you have learned." You will be very happy with The CZ-3D.

Bronze Coins
Dave in Okinawa, Japan -Being in Japan I look for a lot of old Bronze coins..Have used Garrett in the past and done good! Got the 3D and went over some old spots and came up with more old coins between 200-700 years old. Does good on the old bronze coins deep! Small and light..What I need here in the jungles of Okinawa.
