Bill Ladd, How did that F75 do In Virginia?
- Thread starter Capphd

Use all metal, sensitivity at about 70, fast grab about every 5 feet....dig everything that repeats (and some that don't)...ignore the ID numbers....good buttons were ringing in at 12's and 13's right alongside the little square nails.
Was also using mine down in a hut, and I would run it along the walls, and hear nothing but "iron", and then shave some dirt and bullet would be 1 inch in the wall, and I never heard it...that happened multiple times.

didnt ID very well in the red soil....but ...if it bounced over a certain amount....it was usually a good target.
Steve Evans hunted in disc the whole weekend with his 75,,,and got some spanking targets! A CS wreath....and nice confederate button or two... .. ...and a number of other goodies. He said that even if they didnt ID well...they still 'sounded' good. I hunted pretty much strictly in AM....and got a PILE of lead the first day...and a few buttons. Spent most of the remainder of the hunt diggin huts and trenching. Didnt surface hunt nearly as much as I would have liked.....as I really wanted to get into a trash pit and find a bottle for my huntin buddy.
The nasty soil WAS a bit of a challenge, but the only machines I saw that did better than the 75's in actual target count were the pulse machines.....and they did VERY VERY well.
Lots of it was pure luck. the fields were big....and if you didnt walk over it...you didnt walk over it. The trick at Brandy rock was to dig everything that had an even remote decent edge to it.
A friend of mine dug a Us box plate on top of the little hill in the bean field, that was surrounded by nails.and sounded horrible. He took a chance...and it was a plate at maybe 3 inches!!!! It was challenging.but that was half the fun!!!! Was good takling to you. Streak!

I've hunted in South Central VA in Danville with Mike VA Beach and we did well with our CZ-70's in all that heavy red clay with depth and ID. I was frankly impressed with the CZ-70 in that soil versus the CZ-3D I also had with me. Ground balancing was difficult but not impossible and we hunted with the coils scrubbed on the ground with very little falsing with a 4 sensitivity...my personal detector of choice in the that tough stuff
