F70 settings HELP
- Thread starter podojils
- Start date
not much to set, start with threshold +5 sensitivity at 85 no dicc. when you add disc. that's when it gets noisy some run 6 on the disc. if you Don't run +5 it want see a dime size target in the ground at depth, 
this way you should find dimes at least 8" deep using the 11 inch DD
coil. HH

Depends on your ground noise of course, but mine gets chatty at about thresh 3 in average ground around here.
So start rom the default settings.
First off set disc to 21,
Sense to max - up around 90+ (back if off if it's chatting)
Thresh to 0 (back it off if it's chatting)
Tones to 3h
This is great for all around hunting but the pulltabs are still gonna drive you crazy since they lock into a good target range. Coins also lock into a good target range, very little bounce in the numbers when you're over a good target.
3h will let you know if some lower category target has a good chance of being a good target because it will give a high tone beep on some of these. You will quickly find out that all those steel bottlecaps like to ring up in the good target category, but their id numbers bounce much more than good coins do.
When you get to older sites and are relic hunting, you may want to lower that disc to 5 or 6 and listen for the targets that bounce iron-to-good and pinpoint at the spot of the signal.
The best target id will come from the machine when you know you've got the target centered under the coil and swing it very little and slowly, so learn to pinpoint first. Once you get PP mastered, you'll be able to center that target and get the best info the machine can give you, and this machine rocks for good info.

Hello podojils i would had written earlier but im still getting use to my f70 im an English detectorist so the settings may be slightly different here. I find for field detecting i usally diff 15-20 sens 60-80 thres 0 to -3 but when i used SL mode i might have to knock the treshold to right down to stop all the chattering. For park detecting i use de mode and tur the disc up from 20 - 35 depending on the amount of trash. What i have noticed when the id no. stay locked on its usally a good target and when they bounced or over the 90s its usally trash the confidence bar is a really good guide to use depending on depth. Im still learning the machine but its the best machine ive ever had and woudnt changed i have made a backlight for it for night detecting.
Good Luck detecting everyone
