How are you M6 users doing?

Hi j.t.

My deepest coin was a wheat at 7" using the 6"x10"coil mixed with lots of trash and when i say small coil i'm using the 4.5"x7" and 5" EXcelerator coils and hunting older iron infested sites where coins are laying on top or close to hotrocks and hot soil mixed with lots of trash and target masking is the biggest obstacle, not depth . Found an 1866 2 cent piece at less than 2" at a heavily hunted trashed site using the 5" coil and digging the tone variance. There's a phase of this hobby where uncovering masked targets is a major objective and overall depth is a mute point. I use the 6"x10" as my large coil but prefer using the M6 and smaller coils at trashy sites where i feel the M6 is outstanding. I have other detectors that i prefer for overall depth but the M6 is smoking hot at trashy sites due to it's recovery speed, tone id and coil selections. HH Bill

thanks bill!..been at this a long time,and i suspect also that because whitey made the mxt and the m-6 as two pole or two filter detectors makes a difference as well!
tesoros are all two pole design circuits and they are fast in the trash too!..recovery speed from target to target is much better with that circuit design,along with the (dd) coils "seeing" more as well!..i hunted whites for a long time,but have switched to fisher,and now own the f-75!..takes some "lornin"" but i am getting used to it,and the 11" (dd) is a killer in trash!..gotta be the fastest processor i have ever used!..period!

Yep i had a Golden uMax and used the 4" coil on it at the trashiest areas and agree it is super quick but i couldn't discern the middle tones very well with my hearing and also been using an F2 and it has an extremely quick recovery reset and love the tones on it but the M6 with the 5" EXcelerator is still my prefered unit at sites mixed with lots of modern trash and the GB system helps a lot with the bad soil conditions at some of my sites. I have tried other 2 filter type tone id detectors such as the GTP 1350, X-Terra 50 and while they are all good the M6 just fits better for me. I've only been at this hobby for 7 yrs and the one thing i have learned is if you find something that works for you "KEEP IT" HH Bill

good point bill!..i started hunting in the 70's with high frequency tr's then went v.l.f.however all of whitey's units were 4 filter designs,so experienced a lot of masking at that time even with small coils on board...i admit this is agamble for me aquiring the f-75.however i believe after reading "tons" of positive posts here and elsewhere,that the "odds" are with me because of it's dd coil,and it's ability to keep masking to a minimum..the outageousely quick processor doesn't hurt either!
only time will tell!.i plan to learn it well,as i just can not afford to buy any more detectors!..i will tell you this though,i checked out the m-6 as i really wanted to stay with whitey,but i KNOW after thirty odd years of hunting,the detector that separates and identifies targets the best while keeping masking to a minimum is the ONLY option to pursue,and i feel the f-75 is the top choice out there!..

All i can say j.t. is good luck with the F75 and if it's recovery speed is faster than an F2 that is truely Amazing as it has to be one of quickest i've encountered. Although recovery speed is very important i feel operational stability at inhospitable sites is also a necessity and where i live RF interference can be a major problem along with hotrocks and harsh ground which includes lots of ferrous junk. I know the F2 is very susceptible to RF and ground interference and have adjusted to it with sensitivity settings at 1 to 3 bars. The M6 is more stable at higher settings than the F2 which is the low end Fisher and hope they designed more tolerance into the F75. I hope your gamble pays off and understand how difficult it is to make a serious mistake on a highend detector purchase as i've made a few myself. Wish you the best j.t. HH Bill

hi bill!
thanks for the encouraging words!.yes!..all the "f" series detectors appear to be "high strung" so to speak,and can be a "handful" IF not adjusted for the operating conditions!..fortunately this is NOT difficult to accomplish, as the f-75 gives you "many options to "quiet" it down,and make it behave!..once this is done,people are reporting outstanding results with it especially in heavy iron laden trash!..as i mentioned,,been at this a long time,,and these days a detector that separates,and gets between the junk along with the ability,and power to "get" deep IS the ONLY option in order to stay in the hobby!..

regards!
