Re: cz-3d - 16 years ago
hi!..tom! where ARE they being built now?..thanks for the kind offer!..i believe you have posted the criteria for checking the (d) in another post..if i decide to purchase,i will use the information from the post to determine if the unit is calibrated properly,and if it is NOT,then i will shoot an e-mail to you to discuss it further!.. again!..thanks for the kind offer! regards! j.t.by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
cz-3d - 16 years ago
tom! i am interested in perhaps obtaining a "new" cz-3d from f.t...i am wondering if you have been in contact with them to determine if they are "calibrating" the detector properly BEFORE they are shipped,or is this step NOT necessary in your view?..failing that,would you be willing to "calibrate" the detector if it was determined that adjustment is necessary?..thaby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

tom i am happy to know the the 6" coil will possibly "bail" me out in some difficult sites!..thanks for the very informative post! (h.h!) j.t.by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: My love/hate relationship with the F 75 continues. - 16 years ago
thanks tom!! i believe you covered this before,however i am NOT sure,so i will ask again! if the (e.m.i.) is being induced into the coil at a particular site,AND the site IS unhuntable REGARDLESS of settings,then will mounting the 6" coil to the detector make a difference AT ALL at THAT particular site?..my thinking is taking me to the fact that the (e.m.i.) is COIL induced,as you stateby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: My love/hate relationship with the F 75 continues. - 16 years ago
tom! does this behavior POSSIBLY indicate a shielding issue of some kind?..or does it generally mean the 75 is exposed to STRONGER emi at the second site,and the circuitry cannot compensate for it? (h.h! j.t.by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: OK,OK the F75 is deeper - 16 years ago
charlie should also consider changing the color,as it resembles the end result of a "bad evening out!" (h.h!) j.t.by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: first day out with the f-75 - 16 years ago
excellent point!..well taken!..what i find especially appealing is the fact the area HAS been "beaten" to death by just about everyone,and EVERY detector known to man from late seventies onward to the present day!.i want to really work it thoroughly with the latest technology.(f-75)to attempt to determine just how "good" this detector is!..the terrain is perfectly flat,and isby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: first day out with the f-75 - 16 years ago
due to time constraints,doesn't look like i will get out there again until monday!hope to "hit" this site hard,as it was the first place the settlers lived in 1635!.it is a wide open common,and my stategy is to get as much depth as the 75 will give me in any mode so i can thoroughly hunt it!i will do my best to make sure i am able to hunt this place as i have a good feeling there mby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: first day out with the f-75 - 16 years ago
tom! i am NOT being critical in any way!..i want to establish that!..i will get out again on friday at the same site and will try what you instructed me to do,and i feel it is a minor issue that hopefully will be ok!...i am positive you know what needs to be done,and once again my thanks for the sensible tip!..i will attempt to do both procedures and i have faith one or the other WILL work!.ifby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: first day out with the f-75 - 16 years ago
tom! i will try that and thank you for the input!..does this also happen with any attempt to change to all metal mode too?..i was also advised to perform a"reset" and this also should work!..let me be more clear on what i was doing!..i was hunting along just fine with the detector set to disc @ 6 gain @ 80,and (de) process...detector was running sweet,and absolutely stable..I DECIDEDby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
first day out with the f-75 - 16 years ago
finally got out with my baby,and went to a 350 year old common.set it up with disc at 6. gain at factory,and 4 tones. gb was 75.i was able to push gain to 85,and left it there!..only had a very short while to hunt,and only dug one target a gum wrapper @ 5"..pinpointed dead nuts on and depth WAS acurate!..detector was "dead" silent.the common was ringed with high voltage power linesby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

tom! thanks for the input!..by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: F-75 Funeral - 16 years ago
tom! really appreciate the insight!..sounds like the "60 cycle" interference will still be "manageable" at most sites!..what a relief!..i am reassured by yourself AND others stating that even with "gain" reduced,and perhaps a "frequency" change,the 75 can still hunt deep and effectively!..tom!.have you determined in your experience that the 6" coilby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: F-75 Funeral - 16 years ago
thanks tom!..does this happen ALL the time?.or just once in a while?..just curious so as to get a general idea of what to expect! regards! j.t.by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: F-75 Funeral - 16 years ago
tom! in YOUR experience with the f-75,what "source" has been the 'worst" offender with regard to "60 cycle" OR any other interference you have encountered in your hunting travels?....thanks for your input!.. j.t.by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Heads up o the GTI 2500... - 16 years ago
don't like the color either!..looks like somebody "puked" on it!..i guess "charlie" likes that color!by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: F-75 Funeral - 16 years ago
thanks for the insightful response!..this is precisely what i have in mind when i finally begin the "learning curve!"..i have read many posts regarding this isuue,however i must confess i got the distinct impression after reading your latest post on "f-75 funeral" that experiencing "emi" was commonplce EVERYWHERE YOU hunted with the detector,hence MY response!..it ISby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: F-75 Funeral - 16 years ago
hi tom! i just got mine and are you telling me that the thing may be useless in city parks?..i realize that emi may be a critical issue,however if what you indicate is true,and you have explained that it is,then what may i ask wre the designers thinking when they designed this detector that way?..granted i "need" to learn the detector,but it sounds like i got "two strikes" oby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: I PAID for MY F75.....full price too. - 16 years ago
hi streak! hell i just got mine and haven't used it yet!.looks ok!..find out tomorrow if it "hunts" allright!..gonna use "factory" and see if it runs stable!..keep the desc at 6 and go with (de) at 70 "gain!"..if it starts "bitchin" i'll set the gain lower,and possibly adjust the frequency to f-7!..sound right?..any and all input appreciated ANby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: F-75 do I need an CZ-3D - 16 years ago
i know this sounds defeatist,and i am positive all hunters have encountered those exact conditions you describe,but to be perfectly honest,site conditions like those are more numerous than ever because of the "human condition"!.masking "par excellence!"..re loaming down to the 3" level is in serious need!

Re: CZ-3D or CZ-70? - 16 years ago

Re: CZ-3D or CZ-70? - 16 years ago
i am genuinley dismayed by these revelations of the cz-3d's inferior state of tuning from the factory!..one can only deduce that actual sale of these detecors MUST be low,and of little consequence compared to the new "f" series detectors!personally, i believe if these detectors were selling better,this issue would never have materialized!

Re: CZ-3D or CZ-70? - 16 years ago
hi tom! in addendum,i meant no disrespect when making that statement about mr johnson! if i was to purchase one,would you personally be willing to properly tune it?.if it of course,proved to be in need of same?..again no disrespect intended!.i spoke out of frustration! regards! johnby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: CZ-3D or CZ-70? - 16 years ago
hi tom! it's ok!i comprehend perfectly!..would not want to get involved with any liability issues!..i appreciate your efforts to make this detector (cz-3d) available to "coin shooters" everywhere,however,i cannot in good conscience justify the purchase of a possible "sub-par" detector!..i am disappointed to learn that quality control at fisher is/was suspect in the proby jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: CZ-3D or CZ-70? - 16 years ago
tom! in addendum may i add that fisher isn't giving em away,and in my humble opinion,they need to look closer at this issue,and find a solution!by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: CZ-3D or CZ-70? - 16 years ago
hi tom! so!..that being said!.what can i do IF i am still interested in,and FINALLY believe that the 3d has a definite performance edge,and i REALLY want to purchase one?.any recommendations?by jmaryt - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
