RECOVERY TOOLS
A heavy duty blunt screwdriver, sturdy hunting knife, or garden
trowel are commonly used. Made especially for the Hobby of
Metal Detecting are several well designed sand scoops, trowels,
and digging tools . See your local dealer for more information.
FALSE SIGNALS
26
A “False Signal” occurs when something sounds like a good
target, but is not. Your CZ-3D does a great job of discriminating,
but bad “targets” with similar electrical characteristics can fool
it. Large pieces of trash or items very close to the search coil will
occasionally sound “good”. Experience is the best teacher. As
you accumulate more hours with your CZ-3D, you will soon learn
how to distinguish “false signals”. Initially when you pass over a
target, and get a good response, you will nd that crossing over the
target once or twice more, the signal will break up or completely
disappear.
The following are some sources of false signals and the solution:
1. Electrical Interference: Caused by radio and TV towers, power
lines, or other metal detectors.
SOLUTION: Move farther away from the source, slow down the
sweep speed, or lower the sensitivity.
2. Highly Mineralized Soil: Soils with a high iron or salt content.
SOLUTION: Reduce the sensitivity, raise the discrimination level or
readjust the ground adjust setting..
3. Extremely Trashy Areas: May result in a lot of “chatter”.
SOLUTION: adjust the discrimination level or reduce the sensitivity.
In some areas, a smaller coil will be benecial to better achieve
target seperation.
4. Metal Interference: The CZ-3D will pick up metal ABOVE and
on the SIDE of the coil, as well as under. WATCH FOR: Large metal
structures, your digging tool, metal in shoes and your coil cable
hanging loose above the coil.

1. GROUND: Used to electronically cancel the effects
of ground mineralization. Proper use of this control
will minimize false ground signals and insure that the
CZ-3D is operating at its maximum potential in just
about any ground condition including wet ocean
sand.
2. DISC: In the 0 through 6 position the CZ-3D is in
the target ID mode, which is a silent, no-threshold,
motion-discrimination mode of operation with the
ability to identify and then ignore (“reject”) or accept
many kinds of small metal targets. In the AUTOTUNE
position, the CZ-3D is in an all-metal mode. In this
mode, the CZ-3D has a wider and deeper search
pattern, however, it lacks the ability to discriminate
HIPMOUNTING
1. Disconnect the cable from the control housing and
unwind all but the last twelve inches from the stem.
Secure the lower end of the cable with a Velcro strap
at least twelve inches up from the coil.
2. Slide the control housing off the handle by holding
the handgrip with one hand and pulling the housing
towards you with the other hand.
3. Reconnect the cable to the control housing. It is
especially important that the cable connector
be installed tightly to prevent false signals during
hipmount use. Tight, but never tightened with
anything but your hands.
4. Put your belt through the slots on the underside of
the housing.
5. Left handers should wear the housing on their right
hip and right handers on their left hip.
NOTE: If you’re working in shallow water you may want
to hang the control housing around your neck or chest-
mount with Fisher’s Chest Harness. Just make sure
you put it in a heavy plastic bag sealed tightly around
the cable. Remember, the only thing waterproof about
the CZ-3D is the search coil.
