Relic hunting settings

[sidney]

What is the best settings to used on my F 75 for Relic hunting. I have heard of so many ways to set up the F 75 and I am confused right now as to what is the best one to used. If you all can help me please let me know what you all used?




Thanks

I don't spend much time relicing, but I have played a bit in All Metal. Click yourself over to that. Set the threshold so you can just barely hear it. Set the audio pitch (I usually end up at 4 or 5 as I hear it well without it getting into the annoying upper ranges). Click the sensitivity up until you start to get falsing (sweep the coil and re-adjust) . Some folks are more tolerent of the "perky" settings while others like a less sensitive (and quieter) search. If you set it to the point where it just stops falsing on a back-and-forth sweep it's about optimal.

Periodically push the trigger to FASTGRAB ground balance and have at it.

I usually hunt in Discrimination mode and have been running at zero discrimination. That's everyu bit as hot as the All Metal from what I can tell and the tone modes allow better coin returns (IMHO).

Goos hunting.

I just hunted a sight that dates back to the 1830s and with a Calif wet winter it can get really hard to get a clean singnal. So I don't always use a high sens less I can but 60 is about where I start and for the most part leave it. Disc is 6 but if I can go down to say 5 I will if the detector doesn't freak out. Then I use 3H tone and I read numbers and listen to the sound. I got a half dime from 1838 that was really scratchy the number would show 78 and bouncesd and the tone would go from high to mid...I dug it and it almost looked brand new. Also I will go over the area in mono tone one tone and read the number and I have pulled out some great relics. I think if the area has some history you try what ever works if it is real trashy with iron then I use three h. I have both coils and the small coil is great for trash or lots of iron but the large coil does a great job most every time. Nasa says the 4 tone is like having a CZ3.
