Don't get Twisted Quite Yet.

Take it out side and try again.

Out side away from EMP it may do a bunch better.

In damp Ground it WILL do a lot better.

Re Wrap your Coil Wire , Go Straight up the shaft and tape it off about 7 or 10 inches up.

Do loose turns up the shaft.  Do the Tight turns up by the Box.

Try it again.

Better?

Casca,
I called Fisher in Texas.  The Tech was very nice on the phone and very respectable to me and knowledgeable.  He said that he had been with the old California Fisher and now down there in Texas.  He said that the articles written by TOM DANKOWSKI'S FISHER INTELLIGENCE  is not accurate and that it does not represent Fisher acceptable standard of depth.  What ironic is that on Fishers website they post the Tom Dankowski's Fisher Intelligence report on there website, yet they distance them self from him when you bring up that according to Tom you should be getting 12 inches if you have a hot detector or an average of around 10 if its not, but it can be re tuned to get 12 inches  plus on a dime.

I bought my cz-3d based on the Tom Dankoswki forum and the Fisher Intelligence report which all claim that is is a very deep seeking coin detector and that reaching 10 - 12 inches on a dime is normal with some detectors reaching 14 inches.   I am thinking that they are getting alot of people calling them to return the unit and re tune the detector to get the depth so they are coming back with that with their acceptable standards getting 6 - 7 inches in normal.  Like i mentioned earlier, when he tested his own Fisher CZ unit he was getting 9 inches.  I told him that 6 - 9 inches is a huge difference in metal detecting and I cant accept 6 inches with my detector.

When I was talking to him on the phone he did say that they could squeeze in 7 inches in the air test on my detector   and 8 inches in the all metal mode.   I asked him kindly to re tune the detector because i invested good money beleiving in Fisher and the depth that said I could get in the Tom Dankoswki forum that you have on your web site.

They are retuning my detector now as we speak.  If you could wait next week before you call fisher I would appreciate it.  I want to get my detector tuned and returned to me, before you call.  As I said earlier, they were not going to do anything with the detector but return it back to me stating that its operating within their specs.

I also stated that my sons garretts 250 can get 6  inches on a dime, and my whites spectrum get 10 inches plus so why would I spend this kind of money on a new detector when it does no better than what I have. I was buying the fisher detector for better performance for the 2011 season, and I wanted to try something new to see if my coins finding improve.

I was told that in the all metal mode that you will be getting the better depth that Tom was talking about so I told him to test a dime on the all metal mode and you might get 1 inch more if our lucky.  I said in the all metal mode you should be getting great depth of 10 - 14 plus inches not just a inch or inch an a half.  I waited on the phone while he tested the all metal mode and came back and said that my all metal mode was in the middle of the range of their accepted tests.  I once again said that to gain only a inch in the all metal mode from 6 inches to 7 inches is not acceptable.   To the technicians credit he said that he would look at it and re tune it after he saw that the all metal mode came in a little more than an inch.  The tech was  a very nice person that I think is stuck in the middle of knowing that the detector is not performing like the old CZ-3D were but to save the company costs he has to tell everyone that it meets their specs, and I would be willing to bet that they changed there specs to use this as proof in there brochures.

Bottom line the fisher is a great detector but if you can only get 6 - 7 inches in depth why spend that kind of money. Any other input would be appreciated, but please, please, please wait until  the end ofnext week to call and talk with fisher about their depth until they send back my detector.  Its like sending food back to have it recooked.  I don't want them spitting in the food.  I would rather wait to get me detector back before you call.  Hope this helps and that i'm not the only one disappointed in the depth of the CZ-3D

Thanks for the reply, SG1.

Im not really qualified to help, but will say I look forward to your post.

Golddigger's explanation, is better than the one I would have given. The CZ is way too much machine for me to learn next, I have only been doing this for a few months. The CZ is very sensitive and not going to respond like a 250. The metal off your zipper could be setting it off. Your fun is only starting. Dont put much thought into a online reviews. Wear out a set a battery's, then read the manual again and see what your doing wrong.

My bounty Hunter coils will work with the Fisher F4, and it has manual Ground Balance. Makes my next purchase a no brainer. The F4 has a learning curve, so my transition into a gold machine later, will be much easier. I hope to have one by June. I should put a video up of a air test on my $100 dollar bounty hunter, it would probably make some people mad. But we don't buy detectors for air test.

I found a used Minelab Eureka for under grand, but doesn't mean I'm ready for it. I have a White's dealer a mile down the road. I can try before I buy, and get help when I need it. You got a mean machine there, I sure hate to hear bad things about it.

Good Luck
