    Deeper All Metal with F-75

    Noticed something in reading through the manual: The Boost Process in DISCR Mode also modifies the Motion All Metal mode. For those of you finding less depth in AM it might be worth a try to set the detector in Boost before switching over to All Metal. Cache process also effects Motion All...

    Question for air testers

    There have been - and commonly are - lots of references to air tests of detectors. What ground balance setting do you use to be sure the various detectors are on a fair and level [air]field for comparison?

    Fisher - Made in the U.S.?

    A fellow on a different forum is knocking me on the head because he claims the new Fishers (F-2 & F-4) are sporting "Made in China" labels on the box. Any truth in that?

    "Baah-chess? I got me a steen-king baahge!"

    Slow day today. Short after supper hunt at a closed-up two-room Baptist church on the sales block (we have bunches of churches for sale in this area - still a depressed economy from the 80's "mini" recession). One 1946 wheat cent, one '64 Mem. cent and a JR DEPUTY SHERIFFS' LEAGUE badge...

    Bun in the oven

    I hunt on my lunchbreak at work and so carry my F-75 in the rear of my VW Jetta wagon. It has a sliding "bed" cover that protects the back from direct sun (buckskin colored interior). Out of fear and curiosity I put a very accurate digital thermometer (from a chicken brooder) in the back with...

    What are these people doing wrong?

    I don't know why I let this bother me . . . but it does. Below are two F-75 reviews from a site that allows such things. I worry that a.) there are users having a hard time and are dissatisfled, or b.) there are those that just post bad press for mischevious or spiteful reasons. Could we have...

    Nothing much to report this past week

    Here's the dirt-fishing catch with the F-75 for the past week. Nothing too extrordinary. Found a Saka . . . Sackogew . . . U.S. dollar coin from 2000. That was a nice surprise. As was the aluminum "Good Luck Winner" that sure sounded nice when swept. The ring is copper and appears to have...

    Kind of jewelry

    Played around today in the Jewelry mode. 1/2 hour lunchtime hunt. Was able to get the sensitivity up to 90(!), which I liked as at home in my test garden it gets flighty after 50 or so (must be the power & telephone lines at the road out front. Still a little "twittery" but not too...

    ULD - Ultra Low Discrimination

    I bow to Bill Ladd's genius. :cheekkiss: I didn't have much time to play in the park at lunch today, so I decided it was a good opportunity to try a low Disc setting, as Bill and others here have mentioned. I set the Disc to 6 and the notch at 7 (not sure what to do with the notch when it's...

    First ring with F-75

    Found my first ring with the new F-75 today. Nothing to do backflips over. Gold plated with a genuine chip of something clear and what may be a real piece of opal. Read as "29" on the TID and was 5" deep. This was on the edge of ballfield that flooded last summer and the silt from that is...

    "Final" F-75 TID Coin Scale

    I think this is the end of Phase I for my coin sweeping. Represents every U.S pattern coin I have in vinyl flips that I could test and the to-date field finds (sadly all clad) are staying within the marks. I still haven't turned any jewelry with the F-75, and that will be the next phase...

    Coin shooting settings

    I think I've settled on my discrimination and notch for "general" park hunting and coin shooting - at least for this week. I went out on lunch break today with the discrimination at 45 (which allows from upper "Tab" on up), the notch-in down at 30 (which allowed all of "Nickel" and the upper...

    Sunray bolt-on pinpointer for the F-75

    I contacted Sunray (vis the contact info on their website) and asked if they were "considering the possibility" of a pinpointer for the F-75. I got a pleasant, personal response that they were "presently looking into" that possibility but there was "no further information at this time." I...

    F-75 VDI readings (Updated 5/25)

    I have an ongoing project and here are some baby photos of what I hope will be a useful pursuit. I am logging every find in a notebook and tracking them on the following three graphs. The first is the bars as displayed on the F-75. The second is the same but with the ranges in groups of three...

    Dime kinda day at the park:detecting:

    Took the F-75 out to lunch again at the local park. I have been playing (ongoing and always) with the settings. Today I had the discrimination up to 53. Notch at 36 (which gives full "Nickel" readings), the mode to bottle cap and the tones to delta. The sensitivity I boosted up to 60 as it...
