NEL Tornado on the F75 w/ 12/14 upgrade.

[Greg (E.Tn)]

Made a brief foray into my backyard w/ the above setup and was initially impressed w/ this setup.

Machine ground balanced easily, I was able to crank the sens up into the 90's w/ no interference or EMI, but backed it down to about 85. Detecting in BP, 2F tones, disc. set on 7.

Got a solid and very loud in the upper 60's, jumped a bit into the 70's. Didn't check the depth indicator, but figured it was a pretty shallow target because it hit so hard.

Dug through about 3" of topsoil into red clay subsoil and the target was still in the hole. Finally retrieved a clad dime at 10." I was sweeping the coil about 2" above the ground when I got the hit.

I'm not a coin hunter, but I was impressed with the solid, loud hit in red clay on such a small target, and the numbers were pretty solid.

I would estimate the coil would have hit the dime solid even deeper, maybe 3-4" deeper than it was, judging from the volume of the audio.

What size is your coil?? My newly upgraded unit is super quiet. How quiet. I had a gent yesterday with a running F5 detector and shoved his coil all the way to within 2 foot of my F75 upgraded unit (my unit at the time was stock coil set to 99 sens o disc bp), and neary a peep through the speaker until he got to the 2 ft mark. While I was detecting running full bore I couldn't tell lots of times if my unit was even on. I might consider trying another coil. My coil even when running full bore stays quiet even when brushing the stubble. (keeping my fingers crossed on that one)

It's a good yard, park, open field/pasture coil, but not one I would take into thick woods or underbrush, of course.

As I posted previously, I cranked the sens up into the high 90's with nary a peep of EMI or chatter. 'Course I live in a fairly rural area, but before, anytime I ran it with the sens as hot as that, I always got some falsing and chatter.

Not now.
