Great machine

skip in Norfolk, va -
I have had my CZ3D since april and have found many great things with it. 1820's military button, late 1700's civilian button, 1880's pocket watch, and others. Pulls coins out up to 9 inches or more sometimes, as long as it is balanced properly. Simple to use, just don't push the sensativity up too high. Almost has a threshold where it will become unstable, but again, just balance it and start cooking. Also works great on the beach in salt mode.
I made note of some negative reviews of this detector before I purchased it. Sufice to say, properly tuned, it cooks. I am still learning the tones, but you get jedi about it after time and can feel the coins. Does not pull alot of trash. I don't descriminate as corroded iron will bounce high/low, so I leave the low tones on. A coin will hold solid unless it is quite deep, then dig per depth on such a signal. HH skip

CZ3d, definately no CZ5

Mike in Florida -
I have used my new 3d now for about 5 outings and have determined the following:

If you want a unit that will allow you to descriminate out zinc pennies, this unit aint for you. The only way I have been able to partially knock out zinc pennies is by putting the 3d in the salt mode and crankin descrimination up to 6, which is max.

Next, if you want a nickel machine like the CZ5, then don't waste your money on the 3d, buy a used CZ5 and save about $400.00. The CZ3d in enhanced mode will not hit on a nickel period, not even a 1939 Buffulo nickel, which it was designed for older coins. The only way to get nickels with the 3d is by putting it in salt mode and even then it wants to bounce between foil & nickel quite a bit.

I can see why they recommend pre-1950's sites for the 3d, because you will dig more trash with it. Bottom line, if your looking for as good a performance as the CZ5, you will be very disappointed, but if you've never used a CZ before, then you will probably like this machine, it has great depth in enhanced mode, great tones (4) and its a Fisher, what more could you ask for.

I wish Fisher would bring back the CZ5, it was a better machine!

You had better learn to speak Chinese because this rascal does go extremely deep! Start all over again with those so called hunted out parks...you won't be sorry. It is as good as it gets with the Fisher quality. CZs rule...especially this one.

Hunted Out - Not if you own a CZ-3D

anonymous in Cincinnati, OH USA -
I live in an area where the old parks have literaly been "hunted out" by the old timers. I am talking about sites that have been hunted for four decades. Going to these parks is frustrating to all. I found my share of new coins, nails and trash at these site but no old coins.
I hunt with a Fisher CZ-20 and it has performed great on land, lake and ocean beaches. I have found my share of silver coins and wheat pennies and older nickels. This luck is not happening for me on the hunted out places but on sites where my research has allowed me to be first or second person to detect the site with history and lots of old activity.
I saved my Christmas Money and coupled with some savings and my recycling money (I recycle all trash metals) to purchased a better detector. I narrowed it down to 2 high end detectors. I was going to purchase either a Minelab Explorer 2 or another Fisher the CZ-3D. I stayed loyal to Fisher. It's cold here in Ohio in January, but I don't care, I figure the cold makes me tougher. I took the new Fisher CZ-3D out in the cold anyway. First three steps into the "hunted out" park and at the bottom of the hole I plucked out an 1879 Indian Head penny in almost very good conditin at about 6 to 8 inches. I guess the old timers did not get all the coins.

Best deep coin detector that I have ever used.
In red clay soil, there is no other.
I have tried over 10 "high-end detectors" and none can compare to the detection of the CZ3D. Quality construction and EXCELLENT discrimination on older sites. The CZ3D can find older coins that the other detectors that are sweeping ahead of me just pass off as "trash" or just miss entirely! Expensive but well worth it.

This detector is pure metal detecting pleasure to use. I still cannot get over the depth this thing gets. Great discrimnation, easy to use and very light. Fisher has a real winner with the CZ 3D.

Fisher CZ 3D

I have had the 3d since March of this year and in my opinion it is the finest coin detector on the market. I have owned every detector on the market including the detectors from down under.

It has a very short learning curve and it finds deep coins. I have rehunted every park that is in my area and I ALWAYS find old coins. I have found over one hundred silver coins and four hundred wheat pennies since March. If you dig only repeatable signals you won't get fooled by the deep rusty items. Almost all my old coins come from eight plus inches.

This is a very stable detector and will find you deep silver coins, it loves silver dimes. Works terrific on wet salt water beaches at typical CZ depth. Has mostly knobs instead of touch pads. My favorite Fisher to date.

Huntur in USA -
As a metal head of 20 years, this machine is the only one I have ever used that yes I do go back and hunt old sites. My last hunt involved a site hunted no less than a 100 times by 30 other guys over 25 years.

I expected little and I found little till I turned over a plug with a 1857 dime stuck to the bottom of it. It finds the old coins if they are there! Easy to learn, Fisher quality, what more can I say....I'm one happy owner!
