F - 75 first gold

[Big Ed 13]

I decided to bring my f-75 out were I've been hunting with GPX 5000, and finding gold, I was in all metal, got a clean target, but Numbers bounced back an forth from 24 to 87, and dug target about 10 - 12 in. deep popped this 57.3 dwt. lump of gold.

Always dig bouncy numbers. Anything spiking above 13, dig it. Almost three ounces - congratulations!!

Thanks everyone, still can not post pics even after resizing. Posted fine on Rob's forumI use a Minelab P.I. mostly. But wanted to post here since I was using my Fisher F-75. I really love my F-75, bought it new from KellyCo, about 1 1/2 yrs ago. The nugget was only my second target of the day, the first target retrieved was a 44. lead ball same depth 10 -12 in.

Thanks again, Ed

Thank you, Steve, for posting the picture for me, And thanks for all the kind words, the ground not bad, hot rocks give that "funky grunt" sound. If ground is hot I just lower sen, or switch disc. mostly able to run in All Metal, here Trinity/Shasta Counties, CA.
P.S. it was Steve's, review of the F-75se, that influenced me, perfect complement to my GPX 5000. And able to hunt coin, & relics too.

Take Care, Ed
