In 1929, Dr Gerhard Fisher patented a direction-finding device for planes at sea. A few years later he patented a metal detector, which he called the "Metallascope." Shortly thereafter, he was visited by Dr Albert Einstein, who had heard of the young inventor. Dr Fisher recalled their historic meeting this way: "He was enthusiastic about the direction finder, but he didn't think my Metallascope was very useful." Of course, by that time Dr Fisher had founded Fisher Research Laboratory (in his garage) and was shipping metal detectors as fast as he could make them. Today, Fisher Research are still proving Dr Einstein wrong. Their metal detectors are regarded as the finest available and are used by treasure hunters the world over. They all bear Dr Fisher's name and his legendary "M-SCOPE" logo. Dr Fisher, we are sure, would be pleased. Dr Einstein would probably be amazed. If you've never used a Fisher, try one. You'll be pleased and amazed! The Fisher Range:

CZ-5 Quicksilver High-Performance, Meter I.D., Three-tone Audio I.D. Metal Detector The Fisher CZ-5 Quicksilver has it all: Visual target ID meter, three-tone audio target alert, depth reading, pushbutton pinpointing, wet sand operation, deep-target audio boost, built-in speaker and superb 'Quicksilver' performance! Visual target ID: The CZ-5's easy-to-read meter displays seven small-target categories: iron, foil, two types of pull tabs, and three coin types. When the powerful, dual-frequency, Fourier Domain classification circuitry makes an identification, the needle locks over the appropriate category. No programming, no razzle-dazzle, no nonsense ID. Three-tone, audio target ID: A low tone means a ferrous or iron target, a medium tone means a pull tab or foil, and a high tone means you've probably found a coin. Plus, a distinctive bell tone alerts you to a big target. Fourier Domain Signal Analysis: The CZ-5 uses this patented signal analysis system to identify deeper targets in mineralized soil. Two VLF, ground-compensated signals are transmitted, giving the circuitry two signals to analyse, compare and identify. Pushbutton depth, VCO pinpoint: Just push a button and the volume, pitch and needle rise as you approach your target and peak right over it. The meter gives a depth reading in inches for coin-sized objects. Precision pinpointing couldn't be any easier. Wet sand operation: Salt water is no problem for the CZ-5. Just flip a switch, re-adjust your ground control, and search that wet sand you never could before. Audio boost volume control: The lower range of this volume control is like any other you've ever used. But as you increase it above mid range, loud, shallow-target response remains at a fixed volume while faint, deep-target sounds are amplified. Pushbutton manual ground adjust: With the CZ-5, you get a quick and easy method of ground balancing. Just hold the coil above ground and push the pinpoint button. The lower the coil to the ground and set the ground control just below the audio tone. That's all there is to it. No switches, no "beeps" and no bobbing the coil up and down. Target separation: It's a sad-but-true fact that most gold rings, pull tabs, foil and cupro-nickel coins fall in the same conductivity range, meaning that a metal detector user has to dig a lot of tabs and foil to find any rings or cupro-nickel coins. But not any more. The CZ-5 not only separates the cupro-nickel coins from the trash but the tabs from the tabs. It has separate ID and discrimination categories for round pull tabs, rectangular pull tabs, foil and some cupro-nickel coins. Rather than a complicated "notch" system, the individual categories are sequentially arranged to ensure maximum good-target recovery. CZ-5 Features Visual Target ID 3-Tone, Audio Target I.D.
