I decided to get away from frozen snowy Ohio over the weekend and do a little hunting in Danville Virginia with Mike Virginia at a 20 room 1850's plantation site of a friend. The house burned down to the ground several years ago and now it's an open field. The site is about 135 acres which included an old school house, multiple early log cabins, early grave sites and stories of civil war, slave, and coach line activities. I brought my 3D and CZ-70 and Mike a CZ-70. Unfortunately, the soil was a dark red iron rich clay that made the detectors go nuts. They were very hard to GB anyway we tried. The first target I dug appeared to be a civil war era lapel pin with an eagle with a ships wheel underneath with crossing sword and a key...nothing much else to talk about.
Mike did manage to find 1887 and 1907 IH's.
Comparing the 3D with the 70, the 3D was not nearly as stable in this ground. It fairs much better in black Ohio soil. I would still say that I prefer the CZ-70 over the 3D overall since it's easier to see the icons, water-resistant and has a constant battery monitor although the 3D does seem very hot and deep if almost too much...2 inch quarters cause the "too large" tone at a 3 1/2 sensitivity setting unlike the 70. As we all know, the 70 does have it's own target language. If you just like digging mainly high tones and coins, the 3D does live up to it's purpose...HH
