Cache Hunting..... F75 Ltd Or Impact ????

Fisher makes a cache coil for the F75. 15" DD Nokta makes a cache coil for the IMPACT. 15 x 17" DD Both offer multiple non-motion static all metal modes; F75 has the DE, BP, and CL operation options for their static all metal mode. . Nokta has the STA and STA(D) static operating modes. I wonder w...

If Fisher makes one lighter weight that would be good, but I personally feel too many people are buying bigger coils when you're not using them for their intended purpose. Larger size search coils are really best intended for finding larger sized objects.

I remember when they came out with the 15 inch coil and I was using the T2, and I was curious about the coil. Not curious to get one for my detecting applications, because the T2 series worked for me mainly with the 5" DD coil in dense brush and heavily littered sites. I personally never liked the standard 11" BiAxial coil for most of my detecting because the book of it, like 90% of it for the past 30 or 40 years, has been dealing with very iron contaminated old sites.

Besides, I had another detector or two that out performed the t2 with that standard coil. But I was curious about the new coil for some cash hunting opportunities that come around now and then. I was fortunate because I satisfied my curiosity when I came across someone with that 15" coil on a T2 at a show. Checking it out I found it to be heavy and fatiguing, at least for me. And on some large sample Target comparisons it didn't leave me very excited either. So I didn't have to make an investment and grumble with / at myself afterwards.

I was contacted for a lot of cache hunting opportunities from '68 to the earlier mid-'90s, but in the last 25 to 30 years I have not encountered too many opportunities in my research work.

Besides, for most cache hunting like I've done in the past, I already have detectors in coils in my current outfit that would handle those applications just fine.
