Nickle readings on a CZ3D .

Possible nickle readings regular and enhanced modes air test...

In 'Salt' mode on CZ-3D (or 'Normal' mode on non-CZ-3D units) nickels (never exposed to dirt) should ID as 'nickel' BUT.... with one stipulation; many Shield nickels will ID as 'foil'....especially the ones that have been exposed to dirt/mother nature. (This is 'air-test' results). Dirt corroded nickels of any era..... even in an air-test..... can ID as 'foil' with units that do not have the 'enhanced' mode....or you are in 'Salt' mode.


CZ-3D in 'enhanced' mode will bring nearly ALL "Dirt-corroded" nickels up into the 'nickel' (high tone) range.... in the real dirt. IF you were to pull 100 circulating nickels out of your pocket (never exposed to dirt//not dug)...and AIR-TEST whilst in 'enhanced' mode: approx 20% - 35% will ID as 'round-tab' w/according mid-tone.........with the remainder of the nickels properly ID'ing as 'nickel'. This is for CORRECTLY calibrated CZ-3D's.

The 3D is a nickel killer. Don't know how you done it Tom but it amazes me everytime I take it out......

If calibrated properly....this SHOULD be the outcome.
