Fisher CZ series vs Fisher F Series

[Newfiehunter]

I have a Fisher CZ5 and it is my main unit that I have owned for close to 20 years...I have never use a F70 or F75. So how does the F series compare to the CZ when it comes to depth, stability, accuracy, and ergonomics? It seems like the F series would have an advantage in weight and balance and there is more options to choose from. My CZ is a little heavy but has great accurate id and depth and more stable than the F70 and F75. It seems like the tones on both are very similar from what I've seen on various videos. I'm asking this because when the day comes when I need a new detector, would it be a good idea to stick with Fisher or go to another brand?

As you got nothing from anyone else I say I have a couple CZs, a 5, and a 3D, used F75, and "tested" a F70

F75 will get you a depth advantage, my tests on F70 suggest it is no deeper, maybe some will argue that, but that is what my tests indicate.

Even though the CZ's and F75 are the same actual weight (acording their respective manuals)the F75 will "seem" MUCH lighter. I promise.

F75 a little noisy in DISC mode, but pretty quiet in AM, I think A lot of people will agree with this, and tend to use in AM for that reason.

Thanks Rick for your input....

if you hunt saltwater beaches the f75 can't do that where as the cz's eat it up.

The Teknetics T2 was the first scientifically ergonomically engineered metal detector in history. We published the specifications. The F75 uses that same mechanical package and carries the same ergonomics specifications.

Here we are nearly a decade later, and that mechanical package is still the only one in the entire industry with published ergonomic specifications. Very likely the only one for which scientific ergonomic data was even obtained. Since the intro of the T2, we've come up with some very good and very ergonomic mechanical packages, but we don't publish the ergonomic specifications because they were not engineered specifically for scientifically-based ergonomics.
