Yesterday we hunted a school we haven't hit before. The basketball court gave up some 2-4" clad. The rest of the place seemed to have been hit pretty hard for the surface stuff. I decided to hit one of my favorite place for deep coins and jewelry, the football Field and sidelines.
I decided to try out the All Metal Motion Mode and stay with it. I was surprised at how much I liked this set up. I had no problems with it being noisy around the power lines close by. It also sounded a solid pitch when you passed close to anything. I liked better then the Disc mode but might be a little to much in really trashy places.
I read the manual quite a few times before setting the mode up and didn't remember seeing anything about this. But there was definitely a different higher pitch when I went over a coin. It really helped when I got into a trashy area. I found at least 10 coins relying on the pitch that I would have normally thought was a trash item from the bouncing numbers. After digging the coin I swept and found a near by pull tab, foil or iron close by. Another reason for digging everything at first and learning your machines language.
One other thing about the F75 I like is not only its depth, but the solidness of the tone and ID on these 8-9" deep targets. I am constantly popping out coins at 7-8" deep that I know others have missed or passed up. Yesterday I popped out 3Q, 6D and 15 pennies that were at least 7-8" and I had a hard time digging with my 8" probe.
I know that my coin count has suffered since getting the F75. Not because it isn't a coin vacuum, but because I spend more time digging deeper coins out. My pinpointing with it isn't helping either. But I am starting to drop the probe on most of the stuff now.
Here are a few pieces I dug out yesterday with the F75. The ring was my first piece of silver for the day. Says 925 and the wife say definitely real stones. It was 6-7" down. The dime size charm was over 9" and I had the handle of the probe down in the hole to get it out. It was as solid on tome and ID as if it were only 3-4" down. The St Christopher pendant was also 7" down and hit hard.
My buddy says I spend more time now digging then I do sweeping for stuff. I have to agree with him, but I have the depths I need to find those good targets still waiting to be found. I also bagged 32 clad coins and my arms and back feel the effort this morning from those deep digs, as do a couple of blusters from using the probe.
