Thanks mart.It turned cold and messy here in NC so I will be trying the different settings out real soon..Its killing me not tobe able to get out and hunt..I agree with any machine and different soil conditions its alot of trial and error, Thanks to several guys here and other forums..The settings are a good building block.And I am seeing alot of sweet finds that are popping up other machines have been looking for, theres no Doubt the F75 is a versitle nice little machine.A person just needs to get aquainted with it..I'll try rogers again today..thanks james..

[quote Jason in TN]Great detector But the manual is a Joke. Should explain more as to what is going on with the PF mode. Tried it could not tell any difference in it and the DE mode.
Would be nice to know what it does if anything.[/quote]
Be careful.......you are treading on sacred ground

If you have a disc setting of 1 to 7 you will see half a slash mark in the iron symbol at the top, if you have a disc setting of 8 to 15 you will have a full slash mark in the iron symbol.
However if you set the disc to 0 then this mark disappears completely.
This machine is very hyper with this setting and sensitivity would be reduced to stabilize it.
Thanks, Mart.

Thanks, Mart.[/quote] Mart I am with you and roger on the Disc and sensitivity, But no ones mentioned the Notch not disc But the notch the Lowest notch Is 1 unless
You folks have figured out how to get it to 0..I was just asking are you notching out metals or keeping it on notch 1..thanks for the Info, I will give it a try..Yea its a Hyper But powerful Little machine..james

Hello James, there is no 0 option on the Notch setting the lowest is 1.
Choosing this in disc mode would put the machine in the lower half of the first range = iron 1 to 7.
To by pass the notch setting completely you would choose a setting of 0 in disc mode which effectively switches it off.
My test have shown that 1 to 4 on disc are very similar but if you go to 5 or 6 in disc mode in a lot of cases it quietens the machine quite a bit.
That along with reduced sensitivity as the search site conditions dictate produces the best overall results.
To start with until the machine is better understood by the user a setting of 5 or 6 maybe the better starting point.
If in these slightly lower settings a area started to produce some good finds then the 0 setting would usually be tried along with some other setting combinations, all metal, motion all metal etc to give the maximum chance of finding everything that was there.

The 0 setting in disc mode with any sort of discrimination being effectively turned off poses me another question.
Is this set up the same operation and performance wise as motion all metal mode?
If you think about it this is what is really happening, 0 discrimination = all metals detected and the machine is in motion.
I have not asked the question yet or had time to test it myself but will do so first chance.

Very little time at the moment, first week back after being off with bad flue, my dads in hospital and quite rightly even when i felt a bit better they did not want me in the hospital coughing and sneezing everywhere and I'm away on holiday next week.
Take care, Mart.
