    Today with the F75

    "MidTN", Thank You for the reply. Got busy with stuff, had a fall and broke some ribs so I've been behind on replies. I typically run my Disc. With most detectors to 'just barely reject' or 'just barely accept' Iron Nails and seldom at the Ferroys / Non-Ferrous break-point unless in typical...

    Thanks to Garrett Metal Detectors, I'm also enjoying my others.

    I just finished mounting my Z-Lynk WTx to my F75+ and have a new set of Z-Lynk MS3 Headphones and AT Propointer all paired up. I have another new set of MS3 Headphones and AT Propointer paired and ready for another new set of WTx/WRx devices and those will be for my two Tesoro's to share...

    A Six Indian Head day

    'miserman', congratulations! Indian Head's have aways been one our more attractive US coin, and multiples in a day are not common like long ago. Good story, very good detector-of -choice, and terrific results that includes some research. I am certain there is likely another good find there...

    Omega repair

    Jim, if I can clarify a Ver. 4 Omega 8000, then I am going to agree 100% !! I have had a few Omegas 8000 versions and a couple of 8500's. The Ver. 4 was my favorite and for about 5½ years it was carried almost full-time for all the urban Coin Hunting I could get it. An imprssive4 Coin Hunting...

    Another short hunt with the T2

    2 Much Trash, it sounds like you enjoyed that outing. :thumbup: Our weather is now quite pleasant, and all I need now is an easy to access location to put in 20-30 minutes of hunt-time. i used to keep all my T2's Disc. at the default setting of '10' because I like to hear some ferrous junk...

    Today with the F75

    I used a CORs Fortune on a different make/model and was impressed with it's performance, just like with the NEL Snake and Sharpshooter coils I've tried. P3raonqlly I am, not a huge fan of aqftermark3t coils, even though I have used a lot of them, especially since about '98 as I was provided a...

    Where's Fisher ?

    I've used Fisher brand detectors since I bought the Orion 121 from my brother back in March or April of '72. Used a lot of them and owned maybe a dozen of them through the years, including three of the F75 series in the recent past, but never kept them around too long or use them heavily...

    Today with the F75

    MidTN, Thank you for your post, but as I often notice there are some questions I have that many might wonder about, and then I have some personal questions to satisfy my own curiosity. Congratulations on finding, what I consider, the most attractive US 5¢ we made. I used to find a lot of...

    Relics and F75

    In my Detector Team I now have an F75+ I added about three weeks ago, and also got several accessory coils to pick-and-choose which I want to hang onto and which to let go. Just to provide a little more versatility and to 'complement' the other detectors and coils I use. I started detecting in...

    How many remember the very first detector you started the hobby with and how long ago ??

    March 1965 ...1st Home/class-built ... BFO. March 1969 ... 1st Factory-produced White's GhostTowner BFO w/red wooden search coil. I used two other home-built BFO's before getting the GhostTowner BFO in-hand, and have had countless detectors since. Monte

    New Legend Update from Dilek

    I am sure she was **generally** referring to ALL of the SMF detectors and specifically not singling out the one most folks consider as a direct competitor, the EQ-800. The Specrra V3i is certainly not the only SMF design.. It would include all of them,, such as the Fisher CZ's, the Garrett...

    New Legend Update from Dilek

    Dilek also said they replaced some hardware. And that could mean it is now more updateanle that with earlier hardware. She had a lot of very favorable comments in that video. I anticipate The Legend is going to be one of the better SMF models we will have to select from. Monte

    Purchased a F75

    MidTN, best of success with your new F-75. I have several detectors, each with 'assigned duty such as hitting Tot-Lots, urban Coin & Jewelryp Hunting, and those for some get-serious Relic Hunting in dense ferrous debris. With my health issues and limited mobility I can't hunt like I used to...

    Is Ft still in the detector business

    Yes, they are still in business. I talked with the FTP factory three times this week. The F-75 has been a 'premium' detector for quite a while, and I have owned two, an F-75 and an F-75 SE Ltd, in years past. Other FTP detectors as well. I currently have, or will when my newest acquisition...

    Tesoro Mojave coils

    Here is some cheap, low-cost advise I have given most folks with similar inquires since 1983: If you like to use an assortment of coils (like 2 or more), and if you select a wide-range of ground mineral challenged sites to hunt .... get a detector with either automated GB, manual GB, or both...

    It's been 13 years

    Unfortunately, in over five decades of acquiring and using detectors, I have made a few mistakes. Sometimes a new acquisition wasn't terribly bad, it just didn't complement my detector outfits. Sometimes the performance afield was a bit lacking, and on one or two selections it seemed a lot just...

    Brand New to my brand New Tejon !?!

    I re-read posts in this thread and have a few comments: * Not all of the SW is highly mineralized. * When I had my Tejon's, 90% of where I hunted was highly mineralized and had a high Iron content. * Unless doing coil comparisons, I kept a Concentric coil mounted and never had a problem...

    Which Coil For Vaquero

    You've had most of your questions answered, but I'll lend my support to the 6" Concentric coil. Tesoro labeled them 5.75 because White's used an awkward labeling on their 6½" coil, but if you measure the Tesoro coil, it is a 6" diameter size. All I use on my Tesoro's is the 6" Concentric. If...

    Brand New to my brand New Tejon !?!

    Odanscoils, you have the Tejon and which coils? What coil was noisy over your wooden floor nails? What settings were you using? I think you should keep the Comadre and sell or trade the Mojave to me.:rolleyes::laugh: Monte
