If you can use no DISC and Sensitivity at maximum at 10.

Air tests for dimes, nickels or quarters would be really appreciated so I can compare to my model.

Does anyone know if the 1280X goes deeper in ground than air test?

Thanks very much,

Lots of iron and way too much large debris from ripped up structures getting tossed about to get into the water, so I did not get the Sand Shark out, stayed with the CZ6a. Did not get more than ankle deep, with wave action occasionally putting it knee high; carefully watching for logs.

Some change, couple of tokens and some cheap jewelry. One area had some large shells. Very little foil trash. It got washed away.

Hope those who can get out as the beach settles down can find some hot spots.

Things worked out so that I am going to be able to hit the beach Saturday to get a shot at what Ida uncovered. Was thinking about what detectors to take and decided I wanted the CZ6a along even if not at it's best. Checked batteries (still good, did not change them, only have about two hours on them). Checked connectors and saw sand coming out of the coil cover when I set the CZ6a on it's side. Took off the cover and it was loaded up. Sand must have been wet and sticking up against the coil bottom when I had the cover off checking it at the beach last time. Must not have dried by the time I got home and air tested it with the coil cover still on. Now, few weeks later, it was dry and dumping out lots of ugly gray sand.

With cover off, coil wiped down, not trying to maximize anything, I got an easy 11 inches on a nickle with the 12 inch Sunray coil. Packed her up along with the Sand Shark. I'm ready.

Boy do I feel stupid.

And very happy to have the CZ6a ready for the morning! I don't think I'll put the coil cover on tomorrow.

I may be doing some trading with a fellow member and we both need to know if the coils for the CZ-3d and the 70 are interchangable. For example can you use the same 10.5", 8" & 5" inch coils for both machines?

I decided to pop on the Sunray 12" coil which will go to China if you want:bouncy:

Went to an old school site on private property...WITH permission of course....but most of the area was grown over with weeds:thumbdown:

The only area I could hit was the newest part which shut down in the late 60's. They had REdone the playground area in about 1960 according to the owner...and it was mostly little tiny gravel mixed in with dirt..YUK:cool:

My old friend can still find the deepies because most of the coins I found were from 8" to 9"...with a couple at 10". Man that baby goes deep with the Sunray FZ Invader 12" coil on it.

No way to find the older stuff because the first 7" was gravel before you even get to the dirt...so the oldies are probably at least 15" down.

I don't care though...cause to me silver is silver...no matter how old:clapping:

Now if I can only find the time to take the CZ21 for a spin.:smile:

I guarantee you that no matter what new machine comes out...or what brand of detector I am swingin' at the time...I will ALWAYS have a CZ in my stable.:smile:

They are silver killers.:thumbup: I have had and used every CZ model that has come out except the 3D...and they are all deep and all excellent machines.]]> Bryce-IL Fisher CZ ForumSat, 07 Nov 2009 12:11:18 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?23,1085342,1085342#msg-1085342 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?23,1085342,1085342#msg-1085342 swinglow45 Fisher CZ ForumSun, 08 Nov 2009 09:15:22 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?23,1085269,1085269#msg-1085269 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?23,1085269,1085269#msg-1085269 grumpyolman Fisher CZ ForumFri, 06 Nov 2009 07:28:39 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?23,1083373,1083373#msg-1083373 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?23,1083373,1083373#msg-1083373I LOVE YOU and a Mexican silver ring marked .925 Heco (hand made).

What really impressed me is I hit a small area in the town I live with a building that dates to around the 1920's, and I pounded it with my Coinstrike in the past, and even though it's an older area I never found anything old with the C$ at this spot, not a single wheatback. It's littered with nails (whatever was there before most likely burned down as once you get down about 6-8" you hit a sandy layer where most of the nails are found). I hit it with the CZ70 last weekend using the 12.5" Sunray coil, and I was able to pull out a 1944 Merc and a lawnmower hammered Rosie, as well as a 1929-S wheatback (not shown). While not amazing finds in themselves, their the first silver coins I've found in the city I live in (most of the older areas have been redeveloped :ranting:

I also pulled out about $6.00 in clad, that's definitely been there a while. I have no idea how the Coinstrike missed all this, yet the CZ70 had no trouble getting them, even with a littering of old rusty nails (to be fair, I'd say that the majority of the nails are below the coins, but still).

I have the new F75 LTD coming, it'll be interesting to see if it can find masked coins using the small DD coil that the big CZ concentrics can't see due to masking :shrug:

The CZ70 may be slower, and a little heavy, but one thing is certain, it loves silver :super:

Thanks for looking and HH,

I got out for a total of five hunts. I wasn't planning to hunt the first day, but on my way from the Rochester airport to Corning, I saw a sign for a town I had high hopes for and decided to just take a look at it and then head for the hotel. The town square was from the 1820's, and was surrounded by hotels, saloons, stores, and churches. I got there and it looked great, so I decided to break out the CZ70 from my suitcase and give it a shot. It was either filled in, or hit hard, as I was only finding 1970's and newer coins. After a few disappointing hours here, I headed for Corning. I still had a couple of hours of daylight and decided to drive around a pick a random area to hunt until it was dark. I ended up finding two silver rosies (first target was one) and a wheatback. Not old, but still off to a great start. The next day I decided to hit a town square that started in the 1790's. I found several wheatbacks, but no silver. I decided to hunt under a bush that looked like it had been there for a long time. I got a nice signal and dug a hole that was as deep as my lesche is long, and I found an old buckle. I think it may be a Colonial buckle, but I'm really interested in what the Colonial experts think? It was silver plated, and had a simple design of lines on the front (that may not be apparent in the photo). Apparently it was hand made, on the photo of the rear, file marks are visible on the upper left . It also doesn't appear to have been plated on the back, only the front. Here it is:

The next day I hit an old park from the 1880's and pulled a 1919 Merc. I moved to another park that was iffy due to reconstruction, and wasn't finding any old coins, but on the way back to the car as it was getting dark I hit an inviting basket ball court thinking it a good spot for jewelery and found this marked 925 sterling silver wedding band:

osgood invited me to hunt a spot in the woods with two cellar holes where he found two civil war tokens and a spill of large cents. We hit it for a few hours and the only notable find I made was an old pewter spoon. He did a good job cleaning it out, but I think it would be worth hitting with a small coil, as there's a lot of iron in the spots he found the coins. We tried another spot not far away and didn't find much so we headed for another town. Hit an old field that definitely had some age on it. We found some wheats and osgood found a nice sterling silver ring, and as I was heading back to my car I finally found a silver coin that day and it was a nice 1953 Washington quarter :thumbup:

I invited osgood to hit some spots that I had researched the next day . First stop was an old town square that dated back to the early 1800's in an old wine making region in the Finger Lakes. I immediately started pulling wheats, and then after a couple of wheats I got that oh so familiar sound of deep silver, and pulled out my first seated dime!! Turned out to be a nice 1884 seated liberty dime :biggrin: This was within the first 30 minutes and I thought for sure more old silver would come, but it wasn't to be, although osgood his second silver ring of the weekend here. We hit old spots around this particular lake, and surprisingly only found more wheats so we decided to hit an old park that Ossgood found on the way back to Corning. He started pulling wheats, and I was finding lots of clad, and then finally moved to another area and started finding wheats too. I got a nice deep hit and at about 7" pulled out a 1906 Indian Head. The just a couple of feet from the injun I pulled out this old button at a good depth as well. It's marked * J.H. Wilson * Philadelphia and has a harp on the once gold gilted front. J.H. Wilson was in business from 1873-1904 and apparently made both military as well as civilian buttons. Anyone have any ideas what this button is from? Military band perhaps?

My last day I tried the town of Painted Post. The parks were from the 1800's but nothing, and I mean nothing. Hardly any trash OR coins :shrug: I moved back to the first park that produced and started finding wheatbacks right away. After a few wheats the first silver appeared, this time a 1943 merc! Not high dollar, but I love mercs. After few more wheats I get a nice faint silver sound, and at about 7" I recovered a nice little antique sterling ring with a heart shaped green stone in the center :thumbup: I love finding gold and silver jewelery, especially the older stuff. After the ring and another wheat or two got a nice silver sound and a silver rosie came to light. Although it's usually a good way to jinx yourself, I decided I would stay there until I got at least three silver dimes :devil: Found a few more wheats, but no silver for about an hour. I started working a pattern back to my car as it was getting cold, and raining. Luckily the CZ70 is rainproof, so I didn't car about the rain and kept going. Finally just across the street from my car I got a real iffy iron to high coin bouncer (I believe it was on edge), but something about it was enticing so I decided to dig it and was rewarded with a 1916 Merc. Unfortunately it was not the coveted "D" (the second non "D" 1916 of the year). Found a few more wheats in that area and decided to call it a day.

The wheats range from 1911 to 1957.

Although I'd really hoped to find a large cent and break into the 1700's, Overall I was pleased with my finds and really enjoyed hunting and exploring some older areas as well as meeting up with osgood, he does great with his F70 and has some great spots to hunt in his area.

I was happy with the performance of the CZ70, it's a great machine. The CZ70 loves silver and also seems to be a ring magnet! I've found more rings with it in the past couple of months, then I've found will all my other machines combined (perhaps aside from my Sovereign). In the past month I've found three silver rings, and a nice antique gold signet ring, not to mention several junkers although a couple of them were antique(ish), definitely lost for a long time (deep).

Brian

All CZ's are great machines. I have a CZ-5 and I used to have a CZ-20.
I know the old pinpoint button on the CZ-20 was a weak point, but I don't like this new pinpoint button. You can't reset it like you could the old one.
Other than that I love it. I went to the beach today. The beach is sanded in, so I didn't find much; 61 cents.
