More relics with my F-75

[jimmyk]

Hi, all:

Hunted a Missouri battlefield with landowner's permission, yesterday. Been hunting this place for years. I went back to an area I had stumbled onto a picket post twenty five years ago. At the time, the grass was high in places and didn't allow me to hunt the area throughly. Cattle have been in the area and now it's like hunting my living room carpet. It's rocky and has lots of small iron junk. I was able to pull out eleven bullets and a nice chunk of melted lead. Love diggin' Civil War relics.

Thanks for lookin' and keep on diggin'

So, Jimmy have you given up your MXT yet? Are you finding the F-75 to be a vast improvement over the MXT? I too, am probably going to go over to using an F-75, once I scrape enough moola together to get one.

I don't consider the F-75 to br vastly superior to the MXT. For me, the weight of the MXT with a 12" coil and a Sunray probe got to be too much for my aging arthritic shoulders. I really found for buried relics, the two had comparable depth. The F-75 is more versatile and can be used more effectively in other applications than just relic hunting. I do miss the MXT relic mode, where you can hear the all metal and discrimination signal simultaneiously. As with many detectors, both have their strengths and weaknesses and you have to pick the unit that fits your style of hunting the best. I did sell my MXT and purchased a Nautilus with a 15" coil that goes deeper than either the MXT with a 12" coil or the F-75 with an 11" coil. Once a larger coil is available for the F-75, I'm guessing that will seal the deal and make the F-75 my primary relic hunting machine.

keep on diggin'
