1.  Once  you’ve  located  a  target,  pinpoint  its  exact 
location  as  in  the  “Pinpointing”  procedure.  Since 
accurate ID is dependent on accurate pinpointing, it 
is recommended that you always press the PINPOINT 
button rather than try to pinpoint your target in either 
the Autotune or Target ID mode.
2.  Once  you’ve  pinpointed  your  target,  release  the 
PINPOINT button. If you’re searching in the Autotune 
mode, switch over to DISC = 0. If you are already 
in the Target ID mode, just leave the DISC control 
where it is.
3.  Move the coil just enough, left-right-left, across the 
target to get a good signal. The meter needle should 
lock  onto  a  target  classification,  which  in  turn  will 
agree with the audio response (one of 4 tones)
4.  If  you  no  longer  get  a  meter  reading  or  audio 
response once you’ve pinpointed the target, then 
you’re  over  something  that  falls  below  the  DISC 
setting you’ve chosen and the CZ-3D is rejecting it.
5. Here’s a quick and easy way to tell the difference 
between a small shallow  piece of foil and a gold 
ring (or other possibly good target) without digging: 
if you  get  a good  solid, “FOIL” ID,  set the  search 
coil  down  close  to  the  target  and  then  whip  it 
rapidly across  the  target just  once with what  can 
best be described as a flick of the wrist. If the target 
disappears, it’s probably  a  small  shallow  piece  of 
foil. If not, dig it up—it could be that gold ring you’re 
looking for. Practice this over some foil until you get 
the hang of it.
6.  Don’t be afraid to turn your sensitivity down. True, 
the higher the sensitivity, the deeper your CZ-3D will 
go and the more you’ll find. But that’s only under 
optimum conditions. If you’re getting a lot of false 
signals  caused  by  electrical  interference,  ground 
mineralization or dense trash, lower your sensitivity. If 
you have to back it down to 4, 3 or even 2 to eliminate 
the falsing, do it. That’s what your SENSITIVITY control 
is for. You’ll be surprised at how much you might find 
in an area that would otherwise be unsearchable 
at high sensitivity levels.
