I'm still learning with this F75 (not the LTD, or F76). I hit a site yesterday for a couple of hours..... a site that my partner and I have hit pretty hard. I had the Sens. set at 92, the Disc at 2, and was using 2F on the tones. I did ground balance 4 or 5 times within the 2 hours...... it would balance at 57 to 62 every time in this pasture. The pasture had been cut for hay a couple of weeks ago, and the grass was about 3 to 4 inches..... but easy enough to swing through. I was glad we'd received the rain we have had when digging in this field...... lots of gravel,sand, and clay and when dry it sets up pretty hard. I know I still pay too much attention to the Numeric ID's but, I'm trying to rely on them less. Yesterday, a couple of the bullets I dug..... the TID really jumped around alot..... in fact, on one..... I actually walked away a few steps, and then thought..... it just sounded right. So I walked back and pin pointed the target ..... it metered at 8 - 9" as I did. I cored out my hole with the Lesche D-handle and scooped all the dirt out. I like the way the F75 sounds when you have the target out of the hole.... it really lets you know. Now the TID locked in at 57 -58. And, as I've noticed in the past, that usually means bullet. It was. It rolled out of the clod of dirt as I began breaking it apart. The meter had jumped around all over..... from low 20's to upper 60's, but the tone had caught my attention. The next bullet I dug was about 30 or 40 feet away. It reacted much like the one I just described.... the TID was a little tighter.... from mid 30's to upper 60's, but again the tone just sounded right, so I dug, and the bullet rolled out of the graveled dirt as I scooped it from the hole..... again, it was about 8 inches. The only other bullet I dug did meter in the mid 50's to low 60's like I had grown accustomed.
Could some 'spain why the 2 bullets were so erratic in their TID's, please?
The coat size eagle button nearly blew my ears off.... I don't think I even looked at the TID on it. I couldn't believe my partner and I had missed it..... you do have to get your coil over it, I guess. And the cuff sized eagle just kept giving me a nice little repeatable signal.... with TIDs in the upper 30's and low 40's.
All in all, I'm really enjoying using and learning this machine!
