Second time out with CZ7a puts money in my pocket

[donl98632]

Stopped by a small park today to give the CZ7a a second try. Got a strong signal, that hit at foil. Dug down 4 inches expecting a foil ball when out comes a shiny silver looking ring. Took to the place I usually sell finds and it was gold and platinum, sold it for 162.00. Would have posted a picture but did not have my camera along. A starting to really like this detector.

Indeed the foil segment contains over a third of gold jewelry lost...Coil to nickel bounce is another that should be investigated. Indeed tip of the hat for a nice find....

Nice going on a nice ring ! Like Dan said if you are looking for gold jewelry pay close
attention to foil and foil to nickle bouncing signals. The CZ7A is nicely balanced too as
no doubt you have found out. Good hunting to you ! Gene

0 rings hit as Iron
25 rings, 16% hit as Ring Tab
61 rings, 38% as Foil
48 rings, 30% as square tab
15 rings, 9% as Nickel
8 rings, 5 % as Zn penny
4 rings, 2 % as High tone quarter/penny

In his excellent book about the CZ line of detectors, he has a chart that shows 161 gold rings that were sampled, what audio/meter ID they fell into when testing with a CZ6a.

From this it can be derived that if you want to just gold ring hunt with a CZ, concentrate on digging the mid tones. From the test results, 84% of the gold rings fell into the mid tone category.
