I will be hunting on the beach and inland. I live in South Texas where I assume the ground is heavy with minerals (lots of clay) Any input is welcome. Trying to decide between the F-75 and the Sovereign GT.
 
I have both. Like the Soverign for the beach a lot. Have only had the f75 a few days and hunted with it only once and have done a lot of air testing. Will try it on the beach next week should get about 5hrs a day of hunting in. Have a couple other detectors I will use at the beach also. From what I have saw on the air test I like the F75. I do not know how it will work in the wet salt sand. I do know the soverign is great in the wet stuff.
 
swingingmydfx can you post or PM me the results of the beach with the F-75. thanks in advance
 
Steve and I went to a freshwater beach last week. F75 had no problems detecting in the dry sand. Found lots of coins from surface stuff to 7-8" down. Even dig up a crashed pop can at about 13+ Inches that banged the head phones easily and IDed at 94-98 VDI.

I did hold the coil over the waters out about a foot or two and found lots of targets. It sure loves those pop tops too no matter how deep and rusted they are. I think I pulled out about 70-80 of them in our 3 hours hunt. Put I also got over 40 coins and some fishing weights/lures.

We headed over to the Oregon coast in about 10 minutes. I will try the F75 on the salt water beaches over there. Not sure i am willing go into the surf with it as its not water proof...Poof. But I do plan on hunting the wet stuff to see if I need to invest in a water machine when we move over there next month to live.

Will post the results later tonight on how it does on those beaches. As for freshwater areas it handles them good. I did experience some tones when I rubbed the sand with the coil thou. Was getting tired from all the deep digging and walking in the powder sand. I also took the coil cover off a lot and cleaned it out. That thing holds about a lot of sand in it. Might think about sealing it with come clear silicone.
