F70's 2nd trip to the beach

Had an hour to kill,and was by the beach.

The F70 works well. It found several nickels, qtrs and dimes with ease. No pennies nor zincs either, which is fine by me.

The salt beach balances out to ZERO no ands ifs or butts about it. I ran AT mode and occasionally switched to the disc mode to compare signals.

Both modes run fine with the edge going to the AT mode. I wouldnt mind the AT tone being a tad higher pitched.

While the F70 is good and basically behaves on the wet salt beach, I prefer the CZ more.
 
I only have the stock coil but plan on going down to Surfside beach as soon as they let us in there, everything got flooded with Ike, one big mess. I live about 10-15 miles from the coast, lost power, a few trees, shingles but no real damage to my house, some of my neighbors didn't fare as well, sure am hoping to find some good stuff at the beach, Galveston would be better but they are in a really big mess over there.

The F70 was able to run rather quiet and stable. I was able to run sens at about 65 and the threshold at -3. I experimented to see if there was a big difference between all the settings and there really wasnt. I could have run the sens much higher with an occasional pop here and there however was more interested in running it as stable as could be and trying to determine its depth ability on lower settings.

There was a lot of iron specks that after a while were easy to id by sound and the weird Ids all over the scale. Another way to tell iron was during pinpoint. IF you could not easily get the target to pinpoint, it is most likely a tiny spec of iron. If the target sound is jagged its most likely iron, same during pinpoint.

Disc mode was pretty quiet, too quiet for my liking as I am use to a PI sizzling in the ears or a CZ in the AT mode.

Remember to go to the AT mode in order to GB the unit while at a salt beach.

I left Fl. a 1 1/2 years ago. I lived there combined for 20 years. I have lived all over the Orlando area and know most the people at Kellyco. I have MD'ed old train stations, ghost towns and beaches from Jacksonville south. I have enough sharks teeth from Venus Beach to fill a quart jar. :rofl:
I last worked at the semi-conductor plant in south Orlando and live in DeBary.
