How to renew and clean out your old sites with the F75.

[jbow]

Sens as high as possible, I use 75-85.

Set the disc on 0.

Notch on 1.
One tone.

Go slow and watch the TID.

Recheck the numbers above 20. You will renew and clean out the sites you thought were hunted out.

I'm not kidding, you will be amazed at what you will find. Check out all the iffy ones that hit above 20, especially those above 30.

The F75 is the best machine I have ever used. It will do everything well, you just have to learn it.

You are right J, the f75 really is an amazing detector. I hunt early mornings, every day, for four or so hours and when I'm done, I am already looking forward to tomorrow's hunt. The f75 will definately renew those cleaned out sites. HH jim tn

When you say "go slow", do you mean sweep speed, or how quickly you cover an area (or both)? My understanding (and experience) is that the F75 IDs better with a fast sweep, but I didn't know if maybe you found a mode where it does better with slow sweeps. There are times when it would be nice to hunt "Minelab-style" - i.e. slow sweeping to pick stuff from amongst trash. Then again, the F75 seems to do pretty well when you notch out the trash and just let it ignore it.

Thanks,

if you have the disc on 0 and no notch, one tone, you have to swing slow enough to see the changes on the screen. You'll catch everything non-ferrous even in a hole with iron if you do that and watch the TID numbers. The iron will lower the numbers to somewhere between iron and what ever the target would be without the iron in the hole. I would only do this in a place that has stopped producing or a place that has very little trash in the first place.
