NOTE: Unlike other metal detectors, the discrimination level has little 
if any effect on the depth capability of the CZ-3D. Note however, that 
the all-metal, Autotune mode has a wider search pattern and may 
detect a little deeper.  Depth is also determined by the size, shape 
and conductivity of  the target as well  as the sensitivity setting  of 
the CZ-3D.
1. Minimum Depth 
  a. Very slow or fast sweep speed. 
  b. Discrimination set at “6.” 
2. Good Depth 
  a. Moderate sweep speed. 
  b. Discrimination set at “4.” 
3. Maximum Depth 
  a. Moderate sweep speed. 
  b. Discrimination set at “0.” 
4. Missed Target 
Many targets within range will not 
be detected unless you closely 
overlap your sweeps.

Figure 5. SEARCH PATTERN.
When  the  stem  length  is  properly 
adjusted,  the  CZ-3D  is  balanced  for 
sweeping in a tight semicircle. Wide to 
the right for right handers. Wide to the 
left for left handers.Be sure to overlap 
your sweeps.

Keep the search coil parallel and 
close to the ground at all times.
