F75 LTD becoming a clad magnet

[cometguy]

Most of you guys know I had trouble embracing the LTD. I had mixed luck with it and had a tendency to pick up the CZ3d instead of the F75. Well lately,
I have been leaving the CZ at home to make myself get better with the LTD. I started having great success with the small coil and about a week ago I put the F70 stock coil on the LTD. I have been coming home with $2 or $3 dollars of clad when I go out. I still find some silver and I have had nice Indian heads the last two trips. I am still hunting in BP, variable sensitivity depending on EMI. Yesterday, I hunted a place at 50 sensitivity and pulled a '43 merc and a 1900 Indian head. I also had a hard hit at 8 inches that kept telling me 50 cent piece. It was a large military button. Today, I was back up in the 65 to 70 range and had a great day. I guess I haven't found anything truly amazing, but I am happy to say that the LTD is the detector I reach for now.

The more you use it--the more you like it!!---It gets kinda addictive (the F-75 LTD, I mean). ----I think my LTD is a lot more stable than my old 75 also.--------Del

Like Del states, "the more you use it, the more you will like it." I've re-hunted spots that I had hunted hard and I thought quite carefully with the cz3d, T 2 and F 75 and have found dozens of silver coins and a few other goodies with the LTD that had been previously missed. The 5" coil has been a real boon for me on these trashy spots. Glad to hear you are liking the LTD as it is a good one. HH jim tn

jim!..i think you stated these additional finds were mostly coins on edge with the l.t.d?..if memory serves!

(h.h!)
j.t.

 

[jim tn]

A good many of the coins have been, j.t., but not all. The LTD in bp mode does a wonderful job of enhancing the sound of coins on edge, those that are masked or partially masked and the little extra depth it gets helps as well. Once a site has been hunted hard, one is more prone to dig some of those iff and one way signals. Some of these end up being good targets. Then there is/are the time(s) you jump out of your vehicle and began hunting a stretch you and other have hunted several times before and with different detectors and within a few yards get a nice hit that reads in the silver range and you pop out a silver Rosie from a 5" depth. Go figure! HH jim tn

 

[jmaryt]

you can't figure it jim!..sometimes just waiting a while before going back to a 'cooked" site will get ya some
"new" hits,even with the same equipment!..sooo true!..up here in new england we get some heavy "freezes"
sometimes and the frost will penetrate the ground to a certain depth,and actually MOVE targets around,often
bringing them within range of being detected!..this is just one example,and of course there are many other variables as well.
it is pleasant to know that the l.t.d's ability to hit hard on coins on edge can STILL help to fill your pouch at the end of the day!

Don ,I like theF75LTD.....It wil keep on getting the good stuff with different settings......It just takes a while to learn it.....hh......Dan

I have been watching as I dig targets and it's a lot of slanted and completly on edge coins it's hitting.. I hit a 1918 Wheat cent today that was straight up and down.. 6" in the ground.. Hitting a few old wheats I missed with other detectors and am still looking for Silver.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr it has to be there....

.....................OR DOES IT ?? LOL

I NEED NEW HUNTING GROUNDS......

 

[jmaryt]

it IS difficult to say if it's still there!..silver is such a great conductor that the site could really be cleaned!.
apparently,.. you have the right tool if there is still some left, you should be able to "snatch" 'em up!

I went through the same thing with silver and my LTD. I could find super deep clad, but silver eluded me for a long time. I can't believe how hard the LTD hits on a coin signal. I was hunting a place that I have pounded for years and wasn't finding anything. All of a sudden I hit a screamer and my mind says clad on top of the ground. I go back over it and then hit the depth scale. Five inches. I am figuring on surface clad or deeper junk and I find a clad dime at five inches almost up on edge. I couldn't believe it. Then before I left same thing, no good signals and "bam" another screamer. Again five or six inches deep, clad dime. I honestly have had the LTD pull me over a row in a bean field on a good coin signal. Hits like this tell me I have to put it over silver to find silver. I can't help believe that it will find it if I get it close.

Yea JmaryT and Don..I think my sites are just about done............30 years of hitting them..can't be a lot left.

Guess I will start Knocking on doors.... and saying.. "Excuse me"..I have a Hobby..it involves digging up your yard........ LOL

 

[boxofchocolates]

Elton, I've been thinking the same thing.....I may just offer 1/2 right off the bat.and ask if they want to hunt also with my other detector.....But one curcumstance any thing identifiable goes back to the owner..class ring etc.and I will cover all the holes I dig.....hh......Dan

 

[okieroy]

Free aeration of your yard. That might work. every one like something that's free
