I just recently took delivery of a newer style used CZ-5, which is the style that has the black colored lower extension rod, the plastic arm cuff, and has the "Quicksilver" logo on the stock 8" coil, and think it is experiencing problems in that it consistently rings the oversize object bell tone whenever any coin is within .5" to 1" below the search coil. Do any of you users experience this issue as well?
The reason I think this is a problem is because I also have an original CZ-5 that I purchased new many years ago and this symptom never happens on that detector.
I've contacted the seller of this newer CZ-5 and detailed this issue to him and his reply has been that he has a friend that says "this is normal, and that pennies are especially troublesome." Do you folks think this is factual that "this is normal". I'm trying to determine if it's in my best interest to return the detector. I can say it sure seems abnormal, especially since my original CZ-5 has never exhibited this symptom.
Time is of the essence on this issue so I sure would appreciate any feedback. Thanks much!
