Searching - Fisher CZ-7a PRO Quicksilver Operating Manual

SEARCHING

Good search techniques are every bit as important as having
a good detector.
1. Make sure your CZ-7a Pro is properly ground
balanced and the proper mode is selected: SALT
for wet ocean beaches and NORM for just about
every other situation.
2. If you're going to use the I.D. mode, decide
which targets you want and don't want, and set
up your Notch function accordingly.
3. Remember, a volume setting above 4 will
amplify the response of faint, deep targets so
that they sound like shallow targets. Some
searchers will prefer not to use this "Audio Boost"
feature so the audio response will give them
some clue as to the target's depth or size.
4. Only experience will tell you how to set your
sensitivity in every situation, but you'll probably
want to run it as high as you can. Start at 6 and
turn it up to 10 if you're not getting a lot of false
signals. If you do experience a lot of problems,
you're probably in some highly mineralized soil or
an area with a lot of deep iron trash. In this case,
reduce your sensitivity.
Sweep the
search coil in a
tight semicircle
in front of you.
5. Once your controls are properly set, press and
release the SEARCH touch pad, and move into
your search position as described in the drawing
on pg. 6. Begin your search by walking slowly
and sweeping the search coil in a tight
semicircle.
