My F4 does not lock on buried targets .Anything 4" or below will bounce around 10 or more #s.Can't tell a clad dime from a zinc penney,the tone even jumps from zinc to dime.Quarters bounce from dime to half.My 3300 will lock on coins better deep than shallow,much more accurate id by far. Anyone else have this problem ?
 
Most of my hunting is on the beach with dry sand. A week ago I experimented with a quarter at 5" (max digger ruler) and got a solid 83. Most quarters are very solid for me at between 80 and 86 depending on the particular quarter (it seems). I will try this at increasing depths for clad and silver for my own education.

I found that dimes are generally from 72 to 76 and usually steady. Pennies are more variable and indicate from 55 to as high as 75. Most times they are rock steady.

I also graduated from the 3300 and still miss it a little it WAS a fantastic machine.

I'd like to hear from other F4 users.

The only jumpy ID's I've had is when something is at the fringe limits of the detector.... and that's pretty standard for all machines. You have to have the target good and centered for a accurate ID, and generally due to the nature of the 11" DD, it is the most forgiving. Do you know anyone else with a F4 you can compare with to see if something's wrong with yours?
