About Your Detector - Fisher M-Scope CZ-5 QuickSilver Operating Manual

ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR

Your CZ-5 QuickSilver is an extremely advanced and sophisticated
instrument. Here are some important built-in features:
1. VISUAL TARGET IDENTIFICATION. An easy-to-read meter
displays seven, small-target categories. Silver and gold bands
across the top indicate the most likely categories for small
gold and silver targets. When the dual frequency CZ-5
classification circuitry makes identification, the needle locks
over the center of the appropriate category. If ID is difficult
due to irregular size, conductivity or depth, the CZ-5 will
alert you by jumping back and forth between the most likely
categories. What it will never do is lock-on between
categories or gives you a series of numbers to interpret. No
programming, no razzle-dazzle, no nonsense.
2. AUDIO TARGET IDENTIFICATION. A low tone means a ferrous
or iron target: a medium tone indicates a pull-tab or foil,
and a high tone means you've probably found a coin. The
tone ID always agrees with the meter ID. If the audio
response tone is low, the meter will always read "iron" and
if the tone is high, the meter will always read in one of the
coin categories.
3. PUSHBUTTON DEPTH READING, VCO PINPOINTING. Just push
a button and the volume, pitch and meter needle will rise
as you approach your target and then peak right over it.
The meter gives you a depth reading in inches for coin-sized
objects.
4. WET SAND OPERATION. Salt water is no problem for the CZ-
5. Just flip a switch, reset your ground control and search.
The CZ-5 compensates for salt and sand simultaneously.
5. TARGET SEPARATION. It's a sad but true fact that most gold
rings, pull tabs, foil and nickels fall into the same conductivity
range. In the past a detector user had to dig a lot of trash
to find any rings or nickels, but not any more. The CZ-5 not
only separates the nickels from the trash, but the tabs from
the tabs. It has a separate ID and discrimination categories
for round pull tabs, rectangular pull tabs, foil and nickels.
Rather than a complicated "notch" system, the individual
categories are sequentially arranged to insure maximum
good target recovery. In a moderately trashy area for
example, you can set the CZ-5 to reject iron and round pull
tabs and still dig nickels and other coins and all gold rings
falling into the nickel, foil and rectangular tab and nickel
categories.
