I just wanted to make a quick post about an F-75 find....

I was at a park yesterday and was hunting with my F-75 in JE at about 80 (chirping a little), disc. to knock out iron, 15 I believe, and 1 tone. I was sweeping at a comfortable speed and got a little blip that sounded pretty good. You have to watch the meter pretty close with this setup. I swept over it a few time and it was fairly consistent giving me 68 to 71 number most of the time. I started digging and I could not believe it. I was in an area maybe 30' x 30' in an old park I have hunted since a teenager and that has been hit I'm sure hundreds of times including myself. Up came a 1944 Merc. I'm sure was 9-10 inches and I'm being conservative. Ever detector known to man has detected that very same spot. There is no doubt in my mind that the F-75 is a VERY deep detector. I'm still blow away. I have been over that area many times with my SE. If you are considering an F-75, I would definitely go for it! I'm not so sure I wouldn't like the recovery speed just a tad slower to hear the targets a little longer................

I found the same think to be true. Did you find any trash on or next to that merc? I have found that to be the case on most of the deep silver finds I have been making-especially dimes 9-10 inches+
 
Nice find. What it means is that you passed your coil over the correct spot that no one else did prior. All concentric coils used on most machines, regardless of diameter, only cover an area the size of a quarter at depth.( A DD coil ups your odds considerably.) On top of the ground it may look like you are really covering the area thoroughly, but at depth you are missing a ton of real estate.

I done the same thing awhile back in a tiny park that has been hit thousands of times ( including by me ) over the past decades and I pulled up a nice Merc at about six inches that everyone else ( including me ) had missed, and there are probably a few more there that have been missed. Just the luck of the draw.

Figuring that the average coin fits into a one-inch square - if you are just hunting a plot 20' x 20', there are 14,400 square inches in that small plot - or 14,400 potential targets. So you can see how easy it is to miss a coin no matter how many times the area has been covered. That's why no area is ever "hunted out."

Without question, the F75 is deep. I am also finding, though, that many of my silver finds are masked, or partially masked, by some type of trash and were simply missed by other detectors. It is great to have a detector that will go deep and see its way through trash. For us coinshooters, it doesn't get much better then that. HH jim tn
 
lately I've been working some of my old barren sites in all metal and pulling some good targets. The 75 is pretty stable in AM and you can hunt near power poles and other areas that are un-huntable with other detectors. Congrats an your deep merc and keep up the good work!
