Short hunt with F70 coil on F75.

[Bill Ladd]

I was able to get out in the heatwave to a heavily hunted cellar hole that has seen alot of different detectors pass over it. I like to go here because I have a great premission, it's a circa mid-1700's foundation close to home, & I can always come away with something it seems when I bring a different detector out there. It's seen Coinstrikes, T2's, minelabs, Excel, etc........
Last time Mike Scott & I hit it w. T2's and were able to snag a few more colonial buttons, & I wanted to see if there was any more there......
So I decided to attack the site again like this:

Put F70 eliptical/concentric coil on my F75 for depth.....
run motion all metal mode only
sens 80
listen to everything & dig targets above 20.....

With all the iron, around the foundation itself in all the nails that were reading 8 & 9 the DD coil or small coil would have seperated better.....
So, I concentrated on the "yard" and in a few hours was ablt to isolate & flag a few "good" targets that we missed before.
In just a couple hours I walked away with 2 more colonial buttons,& a harness buckle as keepers. A couple ox shoes fooled the ID, but that was OK running so hot.......
I really like this coil for coverage & depth......Makes the F70/F75 a real triple threat coil-wise. I shot some video of the targets mentioned & will try to get them online soon. Just thinking, going back next time with the small white coil along the foundation would be another good test too.....

Sounds like a good combo Bill. I'd like to try one someday.

Now go back and use STAT MODE and HOVER over targets; being motionless makes a big difference.

You are able to cut down the signal with being able to retune, and its like a laser.
Did you use a big shovel to just "dig out" a select portion of the hole and get rid of the iron ?
Give it a good shot, and I'll give you one-one brand of Whiskey do you prefer?

I would imagine that has alot to do with the all metal mode itself being one of the best ever......
I have had a hard time getting usted to the stat mode, as old habits are hard to break & there's not really much about it in the manual, but I will try to play with it more.......
