Holy nails !

This is a great deep machine. I have been surprised a few times with such small objects found at 7-8 inches. Not really heavy like others claim. The nails though my goodness, I wish there was a market for rusty old nails I would be rich! The disc is good and other than the nails is spot on most of the time. The CZ 5 holds its own against much newer costlier MDs.

Good anchor, heavy.

This is a good detector as far as I can see. The only thing I do not like is it is just to dang heavy. To swing this detector more than 15 minutes you would have to be the governor of california. Not kidding.

To be totally hoest it is a real deep detector that just loves nails. Yes it is a good nickle finder, but it is also a good nail finder. Buy one and you will see too.

I have owned a garrets 2500, Garrett 1500, Whites XLT, Whites MXT(which is a very good machine), Tesoro deleon, and of all of these detectors I like the cz-5 the best for all around depth and use. I sold all my other detectors and have kept this one. It was deeper than my whites MXT. I hunt with no discrimination and let the detector tell me when it is iron in the ground. I have not tried the new digital cz's, so I cannot tell you about them. It is a very good machine and a deep one. I know it will go down 3 feet on a large object, say 10 inches on a freshly burried item. It took me a long time to write this, because I know everyone will want one, but if a new comer reads this I want him to know the truth. The fisher cz-5 is a no mistake machine, you will never regret it, I promise.

Had my CZ5 for 10 years now, luv it to bits, great depth super sensitive to small hammered and roman coins. Knocks spots off my old C-scope. Looking to get 12.5 sunray coil in near future should be the mutts nutts

the best so far

I have used compass, whites, garretts,and fisher...so far the cz-5 is the best..it will give you faint too strong audio signals, which lets you tell just by sound when the target is deeper, like older coins...strong blasting signals are usually the more modern coins...this detector does it all..beach.relic. and coins...I have used it in all metal mode and have found bb's in the sand...it is real sensitive

Hi Diggers,
Been diggin since I was in my early teens. (I'm 20)
Have used a:
Radioshack
Bounty hunter QDII
Whites IDX Pro
Tesoro Tejon
CZ 5
I love the multitones on my CZ. The depth is phenomenal. Believe it or not, it beats the Tejon for depth in my soil. (Maryland) It's about equal to it in the all metal, but as soon as you switch to DISC preset 1 or 2 on the CZ, you retain your depth, where it will drop off with the Tejon. That is a spectacular and quite unique feature.
It's ridiculously easy to pinpoint. Batteries are long lasting and cheap. Easy Easy Easy to ground balance. Coins/Relic/Jewelry... Very versatile machine. Hipmountable. Doesn't get much better.
Just my two cents.. (1877 and 1909S..)
~Brad
PS Don't buy a radioshack unless you lost your license plate.

Best coin machine on the planet
mtdoramike in Central Florida -
I've been using the CZ5 now for about a year. It is the best coin machine bar none. It consistantly out performs the Coinstrike & CZ70pro. Its truely a nickel magnet. Its ashame that they replaced this unit with the CZ3d after all these years. I think it was a big mistake, but mistakes are made all the time with the intent to improve something that doesn't need improving.
