Fisher CZ3d Not the Correct Forum

[RLOH]

I have a couple of questions about the CZ3d and I thought I would ask them on this forum as the CZ forum is not real active. First Texas still sells 3d's and I have read and heard that they are not like the original 3d's. I had one of the first CZ3d's and it was the only detector that I ever paid for and waited to go public. It was worth the wait. Are there any people who have a First Texas 3d and how does it perform? I heard that they were not calibrated correctly, but supposedly, that issue was fixed. I would hate to buy a new detector and have to ship it off to Tom D to have it calibrated. I know his claim to fame is "air testing", but if anyone has a new 3d, please enlighten me(or us) to it's in ground performance. I am not trying to "stir the pot", but I am baffled at how this one time great detector has sort of fallen off the map.

I bought my CZ-3D a little over a year ago and it will air test on a clad dime at 10.5" - I also have a SLQ & a merc buried in one of my test gardens at 8.5" and it will hit both loud & clear. A little on the heavy side - loves nails and to get the best performance I have to make sure the batteries are good & hot.
