What Fisher to buy next ?

[Anonymous]

I need some opinions on what Fisher I should get next.
I narrowed it down to a Coinstrike or CZ70 Pro. Heres the thing. I already have a CZ6a (which I will never sell and since it's my first detector, I know it the best). My problem is, if I get the CZ70 Pro, is the only thing different from the 6a other than it being digital is the extra tone ? I know it has the same frequencies and its a CZ, but will it functionally be the same as the 6a ( in terms of depth, discrim ability and iron loving....yeah, until I really learned what my 6a was telling me I dug tons of deep iron nails and other deep iron 'goodies' Does the Pro do better at iron rejection or the ability to identify bad vs. good) ? I do about 65 % land hunting but also get to the salt beaches so another question is how is the Coinstrike on the beach ?
I like the idea of having a visual display in all metal and auto ground/tracking in addition to the newer technology of the DPA on the Strike, but it's single frequency and I am wondering if it really excels more on land vs beach and is not as much of an 'all around' detector as the Pro. From reading some of the forum posts, the CZ Pro is apparently hot on nickles so I would assume it is better at picking out the gold on the beach.
If I did have to make a choice as to land hunting for silver coins vs. beach hunting I would have to take hunting for the silver coins. That's just me as I love the old silver coins so that leans me a little toward the Strike.
And I am not adverse to any type of fiddling or programming...I have a DFX which I kinda conquered so that does not bother me ( and I like it and have found great stuff with it) I am like alot of people out there...detectors are like Lays potato chips...can't have just one !!
Thanks in advance to all the guys n gals for any insight/field experiences you may have.

great on the beaches. If you want an easier to use unit then go with the CZ70, which is also great on the beaches.
Have fun,

Personally a CZ70 and CZ6A will go as deep and have the same stability, however the superior notching of the CZ70 is nice, but the extra tone doesn't do anything for me.
CS is another unique unit which I found to work better in trashy areas, but just doesn't have the superior depth of a CZ in my neck of the woods..Expect a learning period and with your experience should be shorter. Might be a better choice as the CZ70 may be a duplication and the CS is completely different but is an adequate machine on its own...

In our area the Coin$trike may be deeper, especially in all metal mode. Relic hunters love it. But, I would agree that a CZ is a CZ, & basically that would be pretty much duplication, going digital from analog. Don't get caught up in all that multi-frequency hype & arrows going into the ground <img src="/metal/html/wink.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=""> There are many single frequency units that go just as deep if not deeper.....

Exactly what i have been thinking recently bill,you probably hit the nail on the head as we say.UKman

Bill..those arrows in the ground are pure marketing genius.
What's funny is Whites new advertisement makes it a little clearer in that most frequencies don't go too deep and that the 5kHz and 15 kHz are 2 that are most beneficial...which the CZ and DFX has.
I think I will be getting a C$ since I do hunt alot more in the trashy, older sites and I already have a CZ.
Thanks all for the advice.
