Been working this very ,very small school play area between 2 paved areas at this 1959 school in town for the past 2 years with my F75 LTD , using both large and small coils but NO silver ever, so today wife went shopping so I had a couple of hours to spare so this time I used my 1270 with stock 8" coil max SEN 8 Disc got 3 silver Roise's and 1942 Washington quarter plus some clad dimes and a few clad quarters all about 5-6" deep and this area was really worked but the F75 was always very noisy there and unstable, 1270 was quiet as a church mouse always was prone to analog machines. Food for thought. Oh have to say I got tons of coins out of there with the F75 didn't mean to say it wasn't good.

Shooter,
That is pretty interesting, when I had my 1270 I also had some success like that. That 1270 seems to pretty hot on silver or any coin.
Just wondering if you tried the F75 at max disc, sensitivity around 60, and 1 tone in that area?
A 4 silver day is a pretty good day in my book.
Congrats,

What I like about the 1270 is it's simplicity, easy to set up and ease of learning. You just can't beat them!! When I go I have a hard time selecting between it and my CZ-5 I usually end up bringing both! They both go deep and seem to find the goodies!! WV62 has the 3D I use to use and that thing seemed to sniff out the goodies to!!

Hey shooter there's a lot of truth to your food for thought..up untill last year I had always used a 66 and a cz and found lots of silver ..but about a year ago I went in a different direction and tried several of the newer models and have not found the first piece of silver..... now IH and wheats are no problem.. but I love finding that silver.... I also hunt with a couple of guys that have found silver with the newer machines....and that is why I am going back to what works for me a Fisher 1200 series and a cz....HH joe
I have to say I have found more silver and gold with my 555-D, 1265X and 1270 then I have with the F75LTD. And not saying that its a bum detector or that its not picking it up, but I think people get to in the tone ID, ID #'s on the screen, Disc settings, there's lot to be said when you get a solid 22, with a high confidence meter reading and its a tin foil # and you passed the little girls 14K gold ring up cause it's totally reading foil, where as with the ding and dig machines solid hit you dig. Now to be fair I have found a lot of old,old deep coins with the F- 75 all those bell and whistles don't help that much sometimes in and old park or school that is super trashy unless your max Disc like WV62 says, that work but that's with main item with the analog machines. Believe me I'm using the F-75 for 2 years and I go out at least 4 to 5 days a week (retired) for 4-5 hours min. and work the old cellar holes and foundations but I'm not coming up with all this stuff the video and the pics these guys are finding in there worked out places and I'm using 3 different size coils all kinds of setting and I'm not a newbie at detecting been doing it over 30 years. just think of what we pass up when we don't dig a lot of the 35-55 pull tab range, sure set the disc at 4 or 6 mono or 3 tor 4 tone with high sen. and get 30, 45's on the ID do I dig every 1 or how many do I pass up and how many were the good stuff. When you set the 1265X at just a hair under 5 and it went off yes it could be a tab but an nickle or GOLD, but it went off so you dug it and it was a ring now the digital range is roughly 26 to 40. Some times technology isn't the best thing tried and true always seem to prevail. but I'm not giving up on the F-75it is a top notch machines and it will tell you whats in the ground but we have to choose what to dig, Maybe there's just to many choices to pic sometimes........................
Just my opinion.

You hit the nail on the head there, I was out the other day and after digging several screw caps, after that just about every target after that I caught myself thinking just another screw cap. I try not to look at the meter until I get a audio that I have already decided to dig. Then I check it for ID and then the depth. That also adds swings over a beep and dig.
