I truly love reading and talking about the F75. There are so many different ground conditions in the world to contend with, but the F75 has what it takes to adapt. You only have to experiment for your area. What works fantastic in Florida, might not work for every location in Virginia, Maryland etc. My area holds three different ground conditions of which require different settings (mode, sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance, frequency or a combination of two or more) on my F75 to perform well. At one of my locations, I have to run in all metal (not much trash, but high FEO readings) to get the full amount of performance from my machine.

People?try this next time you take your 75 for a hunting trip. Set it up in your usual way, and then turn the sensitivity down until it just goes quiet. Then hunt. Listen for the lower volume beeps (possible deeper targets). When you locate one, start experimenting with the settings until you find the right combination that brings in the best target response.

Example: Detecting

If I am at a new site and locate what I think is a good deep target, I might, before digging, do one of the following until I find just the right setting.

1. I always start by lowering the discrimination and listening to see if it helps with the sound of the target. (Remember sound)

2. Next I usually increase the sensitivity (did it help or hurt with the sound)
.
3. I also change my sweep speed and angle of the coil to the target.

4. As a final test on the target, I will switch to all metal, and listen and watch the TID to see if it matched what the discrimination mode indicated.

I have to admit I do not analyze each target, but it really helps with happy hunting, especially if it is a new site.

Attached is a picture of my total silver and gold haul for 9 months of 2009.

You're not alone there Mark!
It's a great detector and I've never done better since getting it. I'd sure like to get my hands on an LTD and give it a try, but I'm totally happy with the one I have.

Fisher CZ 70

The CZ 70 pro is my favorite. I used to have a Whites eagle spectrum in the early 90s and last year I got a whites XLT. The only thing with the XLT is i never knew if I had it set right for the conditions. The CZ 70 is simple and is very deep. It IDs ok but you have to listen along with the visual. I never had a detector I liked as well as the CZ 70.
