Well i got my cz3d,and have to say it is so easy to use.The tones are GREAT,had it in salt most of the time and factory presets just to get use to it.Found a couple of old buttons and a possible lead token,and didnt have any trouble with iron.The pinpointing was spot on as usual,just like the 1236.
Wanted to ask some of you more experienced cz users,do you only dig two way signals (in mid tone).Or do you dig one way signals in mid tone as well,and i was getting a single signal at the end of most sweeps each side especially if i used enhance mode.Is this due to me not ground balancing the cz properly ??.
I will probably have a few more questions over the next few weeks,and when i sort out a camera i will put up some pics for you. UKman

End-of-swing falsing is a common problem usually caused by to much Sens. Try to keep your coil as flat as possible to the ground. I actually try to swing by twisting my waist, instead of moving my arms, to help keep my coil parallel to the ground (not that it always works).

Another thing, is to try hunting in Auto-Tune, and when you get a target, flip to 0 Disc. to ID the target. This works great in clean areas, but in really iron- or trash-laden areas, it is not the best option. False signals are much more easily identified in this mode, like RF falsing (sounds like a buzzing, staticy sound that interfers with normal targets), or the end-of-swing falsing.

End of swing falsing can be a couple of things. Raising of the coil due to end of swing arcing, changing speed and direction over a piece of iron or as Allen pointed out perhaps a too high sensitivity setting.

keep the coil flat over the ground. Works for me!

False signals were covered quite well by the posters..Yep improper ground balance can cause you depth and false signals. Do learn the bobbing method as its more accurate and a couple of bobs and your on your way..Most good targets gives a signal in at least two directions and shallow ones even more than that..A real deep target such as a 10 inch plus silver dime may be tough to get it to repeat so be careful on real deep targets..Of course tilted coins, ones next to junk can also not repeat. After a while you will learn the language of a CZ that will help. CZ's are user friendly to setup, but expect a learning period relative its language and good luck with your new toy....

I noticed that if anything is notched out you can get one way hits. when you take off the notched category you can get a two way hit on the previous notched out stuff.

It may not be mis ground balanced or a sensitivity issue.
