After using disc. mode today I tried some other settings cause I wasnt finding much!! I switched to motion all metal and swept nice and slow.. I was amazed at what was happening I kept my eye on the id numbers and the depth meter on the left of the screen ( this mode you will have to go slower cause targets are everywhere!) Anyway, It was like hitting big and small speed bumps and you can seperate targets right next to one another with the ID.... I started digging quarters,dimes,pennies, and one nickel which was the oldest coin (1961) And most of the time the confidence meter was pretty high on coins The seperation between targets right next to one anther was super good!! Just try it and see what I am talking about!! Its a little different but once you start to figure it out it will amaze you I think!! You have to watch the meter cause the numbers change fast when targets are close.. Make sure to run senc. as high as can be dellt with and manual ground balance! I am gonna need to take the to a couple older sites than where I was today!! :) Two of the quarters had pull tabs right beside them cause when I pinpointed it was pinpointing the tabs and then I would check hole again and it was a quarter next to the tab!!!

take Care, M.L. Hinds
 
I tried Motion All-Metal a couple of times when I wasn't finding much. It's a super-deep mode and there was plenty of targets to contend with, but....... I'm so used to hunting with Tone ID , I was constantly having to check the screen and that slowed me down.

I have two suggestions for the next F75.....Tone ID as an option on the All-Metal side and Threshold as an option on the Disc. side. Fisher could do those two little things, I'm sure. They already have one of the fastest, lightest, well-balanced, longest running on 4 AA cell machines on the market. By making it a little more versatile, they would have an unbeatable unit. Ron
 
Can they do tone ID in AM that would be kind of cool
 
While a tone ID all metal may be a bit problematic....threshold control in disc would be nice. I suspect there may be technial/engineering reasons why there isnt, but it would be nice to have. BTW........both the F5 and F70 DO have full threshold control in disc........... Streak!
 
The F75 in AM is smooth deep and powerful......and is a good tool for sites where Disc mode may be a problem................BUT..........it requires your eyes to stay glued to the screen. I prefer 2f tones.....and 0 disc in sites like that. Just ignore all the chirps and grunts from iron...............and dig all the reasonably good audio signals. Its a killer when set up like that....and is a bit easier to hunt with. Separation is superb..as is depth. I DO use AM a lot.....but usually reserve it for BIG fields where targets aren't as close together.....and I want good peripheral "vision".Good post and great point. The AM mode is a GREAT tool to taylor YOUR site to YOU!!! Streak!
 
I will have to try this out in the backyard. Look how slow are you guys swinging the machine. It is saying swing real slow. I usually swing mine at a good clip. I get so many different signals in AM mode. Kinda overwhelming. So what you guys are saying is that when that screen shows a higher number in AM mode to dig it.. I will try it and see what happens.
 
Just make sure you go slow and you will see lots of numbers. The key is when you see a good number that stays in the good range dig it!! The other day I was doing this and dug a nice 1917 Buffalo Nickel at about 6" and this area has been hammered!! There were 2 guys there with MXTs at the same time as me and my son... I was digging old 22 casings at 8"- 10" range!! It is working for me anyway :) Oh, and I spoke to the fellas with the MXTs and one of them found a 1903 V Nickel :detecting:
 
That is right keep your eye on the screen be tough be mean and dig those numbers 22 and above. That is if you are relic hunitng.
