(((Stick with the 10.5" Fisher CZ coil.)))

I take it your speaking from experience Tom? I'm afraid if I did find one, I'd pay more for it that my CZ is worth.

I had a few of them...... and each one was somewhat impedance-mismatched....... causing ID's to be a little inaccurate. Also....... I positively verified (in Florida dirt) that the 10.5" factory CZ coil was indeed slightly deeper.

When they first came out used one on beach ..great depth and coverage.....let it go when I no longer traveled for 100 bucks.....Unfortunately not worth the goughed prices for used ones.....Imagine individual coils vary but went several inches deeper than Fishers 10.5.....in my areas.....

I have both the Fisher 10.5" and the Sunray FZ-12 for my CZ70 Pro. I know Tom likes the factory large coil and I do to, great coil for coins on edge.

For me the 12.5" Sunray coil turned out to be a great deep turf silver coil, found some nice deep coins using that coil, and on my machine it was deeper then the 10.5" Fisher coil. I also found it to exhibit similar performance at the beach on my CZ70 Pro.

On my Tom tuned 1021 CZ-3D my FZ-12 is well over 1" deeper than my 10 1/2" Fisher coil.

I had the SunRay coil for my 3D and found it didn't make any noticeable difference in depth.
The best thing about the FZ-12 coil for me was the $300 I got when I sold it!
