THE ONE.
damon abernathy in acworth georgia -Well I have been metal detecting for around 28 years. and yes I have tried a lot of different machines and brands. Most of the top of the line units. I will say hands down this is the deepest out there with its 8 inch stock coil. I have found more older, and valuable coins, and relics, then with any of my other detectors. Tried whites best, garretts best, have a tesoro deleon, and many others. Just the other day a buddy of mine wonted to see what his detector was reading bullets, came across one called him over he could not even pick it up, I pulled my coil up at least 5 more inches still got a solid signal. This machine did take some practice as I had never used a fisher before. But once I got the hang of it, man it pulls good stuff at depths I have never seen before. Hard to believe that I am just now finding out about the allsome power of the cz3d, as I guarantee you I would have a lot more good stuff if I had this bad boy. If anyone out there wonts the deepest this is it. Have read where some say it loves nails, well it did with me at first but with practice you wont dig anymore than with any other brand. Loves nickels, one reviewer stated it would not pick them up thats just totally not true. This cz3d is as good as any in trash too. The id meter is as accurate as any I have seen. If I could not get another one, I would not sell or trade my cz3d for any metal detector made, as this is THE ONE.

The reliable detector
Gena in Minsk. Belarus -
I from Belarus. Has bought the fisher in metaldetector.com.Device have sent very quickly - all for 7 days! Next day after reception has gone in the field to test the device. I know that for successful search it is necessary to study well the device, but also the first day has brought good results. I have found 6 coins in a current of two hours. Two of them of 1731 and 1857года, the others from 1928 to 1940. I consider for the new device it very well. Good division of the purposes into the sites littered by iron, speed of the response, a pleasant sound signal, reliability of a design also was pleasant.
From minuses: Weight. The hand after X-TERRA 70 a little gets tired.
As a whole with purchase it is happy.

Awesome detector
John in Midwest -I have tried several different detectors over the last several years including the M6, MXT, Classic ID, X-terra 50 and 70, Ace 250, Cibola, DeLeon and a few others.
I really like the CZ3D better than all the others. I have found more older coins and civil war bullets with this detector than with all the others combined. It wasn't because I changed locations, I hunted the same spots that I hunted with the other detectors.
The target ID is as accurate as any I have used. All detectors can be fooled but it seems like this detector gets fooled a lot less than some of the others. I like the discrimination feature. On the 3D you can turn the discrimination knob to 4 and still get nickels while rejecting pull tabs. Speaking of nickels, this has got to be the best nickel finder I have ever used.
The pinpoint is right on the money and the depth guage is fairly accurate on coin sized targets.
The cons:
I really wish that it ran on AA batteries but I have some rechargeable 9v batteries that seem to do just fine.
I have heard there were some quality control problems and some may not perform up to standards.
Other than that this detector is one of the best I have used to date.

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.
