    CZ 5 recovery speed

    Not lightning fast. CZs like a relaxed sweep speed. If you are hunting a very trashy environment the 5 inch coil is ok. I think the 8 inch coil is an excellent coil for the majority of detecting work.

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    That is when it is important to understand how Riparian laws might apply. In many cases you can still detect the water up to the mean high tide line legally. Edited to add: If it is National Park or other federal property, then most likely out of luck.

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    That might push me to hunt the blanket line where all the fresh dropped bottle caps are and, on occasion, a nice ring that fell to the sand in the rush to pick up blankets, chairs and kids when a wave hits them. ;-)

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Take time over targets and learn your detector. It takes time and thought. After a while more and better finds start coming in. Good luck!

    F series

    F75 LTD here. Used it recently to trace a buried power wire that goes to a shed and to sort a pile of pennies between zinc and copper. Nearly all of my detecting is salt water beach now so it doesn't get used like it used to.

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Experience with the detector can make a big difference. Perhaps experience with the detector was his big advantage. Both detectors are very good.

    Was such a good AQ day I had to post some finds

    Cost less here. More house for the dollar. If you are a non-resident the real estate taxes are about the same as a resident in Maryland but residents get a big reduction and then after being here a year there is a further deduction for seniors ... although there are county by county differences...

    Was such a good AQ day I had to post some finds

    Yes! Out of the communist state of Maryland and to the wonderful state of South Carolina. Loving life here! Thanks for noticing!

    Fisher Fisher Impulse-AQ

    Not sure who you are asking ... as for me, I'm just getting old with aches and pains after exertion that take a lot longer to recover from than when I was younger.

    Finally, some gold in the scoop..

    Before I retired I worked with a mid-20s young guy who had a platinum wedding band. He lost it in Ocean City, Maryland throwing a frisbee on the beach. He replaced it with at 10k white gold ring. Same thing happened the next summer. Replaced that one with a tungsten ring and some how had not...

    Fisher Fisher Impulse-AQ

    Thanks for the info. Hope you are making best use of your AQs. I'm splitting time between detecting, fishing and family. Digging the deep targets the AQ finds during a day's use takes me a day or two to recover now ... and it will not be getting any better as the years continue to roll by. I'm...

    Fisher Fisher Impulse-AQ

    If you can say ... any insight about whether or not the potentiometers have been replaced with more robust ones? And is there actually going to be a release of the next Gen model? Thanks!

    First Texas is selling brand new cz3D…. $650 free shipping on Fee / way .

    I suspect they are cleaning out inventory. My guess is that they probably want to shut down the support costs as soon as the warranty period on the last units expires. I'm guessing the CZ21 is next. After that, who knows? No hints of a new high performance detector and no indication of a new...

    Fisher Fisher Impulse-AQ

    I've got two. They are deep, smooth threshold. Some people pan the discrimination capabilities; the discrimination is not like a VLF detector but I find it is useful; you still need to develop an ear for the width and shape of the sounding on targets to avoid digging most of the iron bits. The...

    Short morning beach hunt.

    The three shell sizes I find most on the beach are .22, 9mm and .50. The .50's are explained in that they were used in large quantity for target practice for pilot training before pilots were shipped to Europe for WWII. They were fired just off shore at targets on platforms. When beach...

    Tips and tricks for cz21

    If you are new to the CZ platform then a good place to start is Mike's CZ page where it has CZ tips. Where it talks about meter, think tone since the CZ21 does not have a meter. It is here: http://www.mikewd.fws1.com/mikestips.htm For beach hunting I like to run in auto-tune (all metal) and...

    who out there is still using a cz-20 that was converted to a 21 ??

    My CZ20 is still a C20. It stopped ground balancing correctly and lost a lot of depth when the ground balance failed, so it is sitting in the closet. I have not had it converted because it is tuned to have nickles sound mid-tone so that I can just dig the mid-tones at the beach. Fisher will not...

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    On an Excal they sound like a short round target response that in tone mode sounds like a large gold ring (not as high pitched as a quarter or half dollar but above a nickle) ... if you don't dig it you don't know what you have. You might be walking away from a very expensive piece of metal.

    Most Hated Words for a beach detectorist....

    I've been able to sell those for from $5 to $20 dollars depending on what I can find as a comparable new price. Unfortunately it looks like the Chinese are going to kill that market too now that Temu (China's e-bay) has nice looking stainless and tungsten rings for sale for from 50 cents to $3...
