DFX vs. 3D?

Tom I know you have tried a lot of different detectors,in your clinical style.In your experience how do these machines compare?Target seperation,depth recovery time.I'm really getting the hang of this 3D.My nickel count is soaring.I got 8 silver dimes and 2 silver quarters along with 2 silver rings and 109 clad coins the other day.I was at a park today and the maintainance man came over and told me he sure hates to hunt behind me with the CZ.My soil is fairly mineralized here in Montana,iron.Thanks Bill

DFX lacks approx 1.5" depth on coin-sized targets (on average w/avg soil conditions).
DFX has larger stock coil.
DFX has wide nickel window..... consequently finds too many newer flip-tabs (square-tabs) that read 'nickel'.
DFX very stable unit.
DFX has quite a few pages of menu's for set-up. (Not K.I.S.S.).
DFX slightly better balanced.
DFX reads older Indian Head Cents 1860's, 70's & 80's... many silver Half-Dimes, tilted and/or slightly masked coins as "tab/trash".

Sincerely,

Tom

Thank you Tom

I hunt with the cz 5 with 5" coil and a DFX with a 6x10 coil. The 5" coil will go all most as deep as the 6x10. The Dfx can disc. a little better then the CZ's in trash. The pin point on the 6x10 is ferry good. But I have come behind the DFX with the CZ 5 and found some coins. But I have hunted with cz's for 13 yrs. and the DFX for a few Mo.. The DFX is a lot harder to learn then the CZ'S. The CZ's for some reason coil for coil size is the deepest detector that I know.

Agree!

Hmmm .....

Wondering if there is a way to incorporate the 2 technologies .....
