Got A couple of hunts in with the F-75

And did'nt find anything earth shattering I did find items that had been left by other machines

Heres what I'm seeing.(after about 10 hours)

More stability at higher sensitivity settings and the f-75 does air test deeper than the T-2 with the t-2 not being able to run up this high because of the noise it generates.I worked a few sites in the iron running sensitivity at 95 or more staying relatively stable.


Deeper nails dosent seem to fool the machine like the t-2 sometimes signals on.I learned to ignore the signals on the t-2 it sort of a short zip fuzzy sound that usually once the hole opened up turned out to be a small nail. well when checking the similar sound on the f-75 it turned out to be small lead and brass at depths that are really amazing. percussion caps at 5 - 6 inches round pistol balls the same.in moderate to semi bad ground really impressive I believe the f-75 has an edge in smaller conductors at depth.I'm sure it would be great on targets on edge.

Target I.D. seems a little more jumpy more of a real time display when comparing it to the t-2 which seems to pretty much lock and hold a target in open fields the t-2 locks on to shotgun hulls at around 55 an stays. the f-75 is actually going to read it different just by the sizes of the shells not alot of spread but it dose have more resolution.
Not a big deal to me since I relic hunt but I could see a park hunter loving this to seperate coin types from trash.

All metal mode is alot more usable with a smoother threshold.and better resolution.

I like the depth bar on the left that a nice feature gives you an idea it might be an oldie when in a trashy environment. also the confidence bar when coresponding with the depth bar means you better dig if it's not sure thats what the target is. Real helpful!!

If youve run a t-2 there should be no problem picking this detector up and going to work with it

If you've ran the prior fisher models this will be a different world to you but not confusing just dont get stuck in the past with a nostalgic view. give it a chance it is advanced technology that does produce.

I also should state when running the F-75 noticing the small target advantage i was in the jewelry mode turning this mode off lost sensitivty to the deep small conductors bet this thing will eat up gold chains un-clasped.


Also I know ive compared it to the T-2 and im not trying to put down the t-2 in no way. it's a great machine and if you have one be confident with it its still ahead of the competition.

Ill post more as I get more field use.

the jewelry mode and the sensitivity to small conductors. Your post is the 2nd or 3rd one I've seen that stated they felt they possibly had the best depth in this mode....and felt they lost some depth going to any other mode?
 
Sure I'll try to the sensitvity jumps up on the f-75 when in this mode. ans im sure it does because fine gold is tuff to get unless running a machine extremely hot with lots of gain.

when using this mode you will notice more erratic noise unless you turn back on the sensitivity if it annoys you.I would see this as a power boost mode for experienced users more so than a newbie.still when in this mode its runs quieter than the t-2 at comparable sensitivity settings.

Probably use this mode for more of a clean up mode after a place has been pounded on in my opinion or open fields.

Just my take as of right now.

sounds like it works great for relic hunting also.

Thanks for the report Keith!
