Regarding the cz3d, I owned a 3d (my favorite) and when i turned it on it gave a tone, not that overload signal which sounds almost like a telephones busy signal...so something is wrong with yours or something was wrong with mine, or they changed it? As far as the needle goes, when using the machine it will stay till you hit a signal but when I turned it on the needle laid to the rig

Though detecting since 1975, I still do not consider myself an expert, but here's my 2 cents:
In high trashy areas, you can also have different soil conditions too.
While working about the trash, will the fast response still work adequately in different soil conditions? In the same soil situations will it work differently with the different "properties" of the trash?
Now you mig

And dont forget to buy the yearly (double) issue of Lost treasure magazine...and dont forget to turn to page 26...and dont forget that when criticizing someones writing, that you may lie and pretend it was well written, just be believable.

TOM: Regarding frozen soil sometimes pushing older items "upward"...
There is a beach by me, they put a new beach in the 1960's next tot the old beach (to expand it, allowing more visitors)...
...No matter how many people with whatever machines hit this beach, when the ice thaws, you will usually find coins and/or jewelry from years ago in the sand...
....the signal is usually b

Detecting dirt bottoms suck...u gotta get good with that scoop...takes practice, you'll get good tough...dirt bottom waters stir the dirt, kinda throws you off.
try old bridges where people might have symbolically throwm wedding rings off of too...ask the older people...look for areas of lakes that are weeded over where there were beaches 50 years earlier....ask the elders...remember, wat

It's old (though looks very new) but it does not have a box.
Also, I never remembering watching it, so I do not know of it's contents.
It might a video for the initial "set up" instructions, or it might be an instructional video with hunting tips for the novice and pro alike...or maybe contains both!?!
This video I offer for free, but you must at leat own a "CZ&qu

Bill:
Where I live, most of the beaches, if not all (until you head up to Minnesota's iron country) have about the same type of ground, and I found balancing the machine is a once a month (tops) thing to do...hence, i found a nickel about 8 inches down in medium sized grained sand, and loudly....hence, the small gold i find following a friends ML 1000, Hence the quiet hunt once i switched

Tom, I have a great idea if you ever come to MN next spring/summer.
My back yard is not too large, but I had some really nice "relic finds" dating from late 19th century to the 1930's (only a few coins were found, mostly 1930's, 40's and 50's wheaties...and only a few).
Some friends and myself have tried quite a few detectors...ranging from mid/hi range whites,

Sorry Tom, NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE FOR ME TO SAY HERE, BUT A WELL EARNED CONGRATS IS DUE!!!
WOW!!! Just had to say i saw the coin and WOW!!!
A woman in the club i belonged to found a 1909 S VDB at a local park 5 minutes from my home, she didn't know it and threw it in a jar....that winter, she ended up putting the coin in a tumbler with other dirty pennies she'd found that summer...
