Re: Looking for a Fisher CZ3D - 10 days ago
Yes but you get a good one 'aka' 12" on dime one and it like a regular CZ on steroids in my moderate ground anyway just as deep coil for coil as Explorer or Etrac.by Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: I need to ask some if a CZ7a with 12 AA batterys can be changed - 2 months ago
It balances nice though with those 12 AAs and last forever as you well know and where I live you can get double AA cheaper actually at Aldi any way generic alkalines too as heavy duty are crap. I sold the last one I had to Dan,PA as he liked the balance also, I miss Ole' Dan.by Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Troy Shadow X5 vs Any Deep Tech Detector - 2 months ago
Lastly didn't Dave Johnson have a hand in the Troy Shadow X5? It seems I heard that somewhere or maybe because it was assembled by Fisher?by Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Troy Shadow X5 vs Any Deep Tech Detector - 2 months ago
Ole' Keith Southern liked the Shadow X5 he said it was one of few higher freq. detectors that was just as hot on high conductors as the lower ones. Maybe he will read this and chime in as he has a lot of time on them too.by Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Troy Shadow X5 vs Any Deep Tech Detector - 2 months ago
I had a Troy X5 the build quality was the best and only one 9 volt a joy to swing and deep in the right area. At the time needed a ID detector for trashy old parks I was hunting and could not afford two detectors. I always hoped he would come out with a ID machine. There were rumors about an X6 for awhile but never came to be for one reason or another. Troy was a great guy too always had time tby Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Two Trips Out with the Manticore - Great Start - 4 months ago
Also you do not have to stare at the screen in a high trash area just listen for the softer hit then stop and investigate. That the way I like to hunt anyway. Of course some will say you could miss shallower good targets but you get in a trashy old park you be digging ever few steps you take for clad most likely or trash. If you clad hunting cool but if you looking for old coins the deeper the beby Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Two Trips Out with the Manticore - Great Start - 4 months ago
The Manticore also has that target trace type screen like the CTX 3030 I see. That and the adjustable modulation alone make it worth the extra money over the Equinox too me anyway.by Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Two Trips Out with the Manticore - Great Start - 4 months ago
Maybe Ole' Cal can do a video showing the different Modulation settings on deep coins in his test garden?by Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Two Trips Out with the Manticore - Great Start - 4 months ago
One thing I do like about Manticore from what I have read is they brought back the adjustable modulated audio like on the Etrac/Explorers as Equinox did not have it. They call it Audio theme profile instead of volume gain but same thing.by Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: Fisher CZ3D - 5 months ago
I have had CZ-3D's since the first run about half dozen through the years and still have one now tuned by Tom. It is actually a FT model but hottest one of the lot as crazy as it sounds. It will do 12.1" on a dime at time hottest FT model Tom tuned maybe changed by now so they are out there. My ground is moderate for the most part so works fine around here as heard some say it not so goby Harold,ILL. - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
