How's the CZ-3D for :detecting:salt beach work ? ?.........
- Thread starter ivanll
- Start date
In all metal mode a properly tuned CZ3D will match and sometimes best anything from Minelab.
If you run in salt mode with disc you will be amazed at what you'll find and how deep some targets will be.
Your 12" coil will work well but the i.d. on targets will not be quite as accurate as the 10.5" Fisher coil.
You might get an extra 1" of depth from the Sun Ray but you'll be guessing as to the target i.d. on deeper items.
Regardless of 10.5 or 12" coils, if you've got a hot CZ3D, get ready to dig at depths that will rival P.I. machines.
I hope you've got a good long handled scoop.
Best of luck to you,

CZ's excell in wet salt sand but make sure you ground balance in this enviroment..Would advise you to use the standard mode as its locked into the salt mode(CZ-3D)..As far as larger coils they do cover more area but are noisier as they a see a lot more area..Do remember can be variances from one salt beach to another or the same beach from day to day depending on what the waves bring in and some areas require lower sens. than on land...
Have a CZ3D,good detector but, big but, 4 of us hunters all went all in and bought CZ3D's, 3 are getting different detectors,and the other is waiting to send his in for repairs.Very heavy,you aint swinging it all day unless hip mounted. Now you got a cable to get caught in eveything thats in the woods. Dirt will get in the headphone jack, the sesitivity and ground balance knobs are always moving,your ground balance at 7 you look 10 minutes latter its on 0. enhanced mode can rarely be used because eveywere you search is loaded with trash, be a old farm or not. I have a CZ21 same machine. Time to upgrade. But what do we know
I am using a CZ70 pro. I planned to use it normally on my last trip, but the grip/handle broke and I had to hipmout it to finish the trip. I didn't have much hunting time and found one gold and one silver ring. I have recently purchased the Fisher chest mount and plan to use it in freshwater with this set up. I hunted in disc and my targets sounded off great and a few were pretty deep. Good luck, but don't rule out a CZ70, CZ7, or CZ6a for beach hunting. You gain the splash resistant features with these. Remember the main think, "a bad day of beach detecting is better than a good day at work".
