With the recent rains, headed out early this morning to a trash laden site that I have posted about before concerning nickels and two gold ring recoveries I have made on it with the F75. One stretch of the site in particular has always been tough to hunt as digging throughout is nearly impossible do to several inches deep of fist size stones and gravel, unless thoroughly soaked. Which, it currently is.
Anyway, hunted that stretch for about four hours and recovered several Wheaties, 3 Mercury dimes, (1926,36 & 44) another no date Buffalo nickel and a 14k white gold ring w/star sapphire stone. Like the last 10k white gold ring I found with the F75, this one also id as a nickel, dead on 30 with a high tone in 3h, and was about 4" deep.
I'm not seeing many gold recovery posts with the F75 and am curious as to how gold is reading for some of you other swingers. The other ring I found was a 10k yellow gold class ring and it id in the low 50's. I like the fact, seemingly, that the F75 id's white gold, anyway, as a nickel. That at least enhances ones chances for gold, some.
In closing, my set up was disc 10, sen. 75, 3h tones and de process. (pretty much as usual for me)
