The F75 and cherry pickin'

Do you think that the F75's fast recovery time allows for a better job of cherry picking trashy sites? Has anyone gone into an area, say a park, that was previously very hard to detect because of the amount of trash, and been able to seperate out a lot of good targets that were missed? I have a site that yielded nothing, but was trashy in the extreme when hunting it with my MXT, but now that I have an F75 I'm thinking of going back there as it was a 40's/50's homesite and should have some old coins. Should I notch on some of the old trash, so as to not drive myself crazy or should I not bother to notch out anything?
 
Canewrap,

Hope you dont mind me replying about the F70 and cherry picking.....

I have noticed that it does VERY GOOD in the old parks that have been picked to death. I had first tried using it with disc set at 10 and listened for the high tones of a coin. It took a small while to mentally tune out all the iron growls and trigger on the high coin tones. If there was a high tone mixed in with any other tones, I would pinpoint best I could and about 30% of the time I would end up recovering a coin.

I then started getting more confident with the F70 and started notching out all but iron and nickels and high coins and seem to have the same % of success.

You may have even more luck with a DD coil.

I found IF I lifted the coil a little and the high tone stopped, it was usually iron causing the high tone BUT if I could raise the coil an inch or more and still have the high tone hit once in a while, it was more of a sure thing.

The target separation is definitely one of the areas where the F series shines.
 
IMHO, the F75 was designed just for the trashy envirements you describe. Personally, I never use notch, but I can attest that the F75 with either coil will find good targets that most other detectors have missed among the trashiest of sites. For hunting among the trash, my setup de, disc 6, 3h tones and run sen. 70-80, and less if necessary. HH jim tn
