F5 AND F75

[Low-Boy/LCPM]

Took both detectors to an area that is killer on machines. Started with the F5 and 2 tones disc on 6. This area is hunted out by me and the way the dirt and nails sound on a metal detector are fresh in my head from the days of hunting in the past few weeks. The F5 found a few nails and tiny brass. I hunted about an hour and then took the F75 and used 2 tones and a disc of 0-6. I have to tell you the F75 is so perfect for an area like this. It sounded so cool, you could hear it sniffing out the good targets. It ran smooth even no it was giving off iron hits every second. But you could hear how well tuned this machine is even in the worse ground.

It was at that moment that I realized that the F5 is my backup and can not hold a candle to the F75 for relic hunting in bad ground...Give it a DD and I bet I would have to rethink that. The F70 is the way to go for a backup for the F75 for relic hunting. I do like the F5 for turf hunitng maybe becasue of he different freq but it will not go as deep not even close to the F75. I needed a backup and I am happy for now with the F5.

I sort of came at this backwards. I got the F70 in trade for an older unit, a White's Eagle II. I reckon I did alright, in the end. There were some teething troubles at first, but everything is sorted.

SO you think the F70 complements the F75? What makes you say that?

The F70 is a great runner up to the F75. It almost is the same machine but you can program the F75 a little more. Now that you can use the F75 DD it should be an even better machine. I would get the DD if you are relic hunting or hunting in trash. I could go into more detail but your choice to sell your whites was the right thing to do Whites is way behind in the game and the F75, F70 are the best machines out there on the market and I think only Fisher will be able to top their machines when they make the next generation machine. The machines are not always perfect but as close as you can get with all the trash and junk in the earth you have to have a machine that can preform.

Try using your pinpointer on your machine to find clean ground and when you find that then fast grab. It is the one trick to really make these machines work the best they can
