For decades I have bought, sold and traded detectors, sometimes new, sometimes gently used, just so I can learn their strengths and weaknesses. One thing to remember, however, is that you budget the time to work with and learn the goods and bads of any detector you get.Quote

Hey Folks, Like many I buy and trade detectors and that way I can trade and not really have a lot of cash into them.
Of the three models you mentioned, I have had, and didn't care for, the CZ-3D. For me and the types of sites I hunt and results I demand, it just didn't cut it. Matter of fact, I liked it less than the CZ-5 I also had at the time for comparison.Quote

I think I am going to trade my Tek T2 LTD for either an Makro Racer, Fisher CZ-3D or a Nokta Fors Core neither of which I have ever had.
It really depends on what sites you plan to hunt, which size coils you feel you need, and how much time you'll dedicate to learning a new-to-you detector. I use my Racer the most of those two because I am usually hunting in dense trash. For open area searches, I prefer the FORS CoRe with standard coil. I consider both of these detectors versatile, and they have the same four mode options and very similar adjustment features, providing very versatile performance. I have owned two T2's, and while threy were 'OK' they didn't suit my needs. By comparison, using the stock coils of both models, I found the Nokta FORS CoRe to match or exceed the Target ID lock-on at mid-depths to deeper targets, and generally a more smooth operating, easy-to-use design.Quote

From those here that have experience with either or all 3, which one would you try first.
That's good, as long as you put in ample time, using at least 2 search coils, hunting open areas and trashy areas.Quote

I have many years of detecting experience so learning a new detector isnt a problem.
Why? If the T2 is a "great machine" and you think you'll get another, why part with this one? Now, let me say I have done this myself, parting with a detector model I knew well and enjoyed and knew I would miss, and I am referring to the White's XLT. I sold or traded XLT's to get different makes and models to learn. Some I didn't care for and some I liked and kept them around for a while, but I knew I would again get another XLT. Meanwhile, however, I still had at least one or two other proven, reliable performers on-hand to hunt with while the XLT's were gone.Quote

The T2 is a great machine and im sure I will eventually get another to use ...
So, if the T2 is that good for you and trusted, trade something else or, if you don't have a second detector, just hold out and borrow or save for a newer unit to try. Sometimes you can snag a new model, used or hardly used, for a decent price so keep an eye open for it. I was able to maneuver a new FORS Coin & Relic standard unit my way for $550, as well as a couple of other detectors that I have since sold. I haven't listed the FORS CoRe yet.Quote

... but for now I want to try a new machine.
