    This afternoons hunt with the F 75

    I went out to a couple of places I've pounded to death with my CZ and now my F 75.The first playground gave up a 1972 Eisenhower Dollar coin.The next one gave up some clad and a 1916-S wheatie.The dollar locked on at 92-93.The Wheatie hit on 56-57 usually they come in higher than that.It just...

    A question about aluminum screwcaps and square pulltabs and the GTI 2500

    Does the discrimination,imaging and sizing allow you to not dig these.In other words do you have a good idea when you swing across them.I was already to buy a GTI 2500 this spring and got a different brand as a surprise Birthday present.I just have to have a GTI 2500,lets just call it a late...

    F 75 in nasty ground with EMI.

    This evening I hunted a lot next to mine.It had a house they burned down years ago.The yard was bone dry and a carpet of nails.There are power lines on 2 sides and a power box on the ground in one corner.I decreased my sensitivity and hunted with the chatter.I still found a nice 1944 Mercury...

    Bill Ladd F-75 versus F 70?

    Bill You've been able to use both detectors now.How would you compare them.I have a F 75 and my old coin count has gone way up since I've been using it.How do they compare them in depth,ID,speed?Just curious.I have a hard time picking up my CZ and going hunting now since I got the F75.Thanks Bill

    Question about left over batteries

    It has been below zero every night here for a week.I fear my metal detecting is over until spring.My question is do you do anything special with rechargeable batteries if you are storing them over winter.Signed "Frozen in Montana" Thanks
