    Bonding with F-75

    After sighting-in a scoped .22 at my cabin today, I started messing with the rotten stump retrieved yesterday from the skirmish sight. The F75 said there was at least one, maybe two more Minie balls in that stump. I always carry a sharp hatchet and hammer in the back of the Jeep...

    Bonding with F-75

    Kirk was a nasty man. A distant cousin of mine turned Unionist actually guided Kirk to the Confederate training camp in Morganton where Kirk ordered all the buildings burned and RR track torn up, plus burned a train engine before taking 200 conscripts prisoner. They had not even been issued...

    Bonding with F-75

    Update: This afternoon, I hunted a small area at top of mountain where a June 1864 skirmish took place between a Home Guard militia (CSA) and Gen George Kirk (Union, operating out of Knoxville, TN). Kirk had just burned a Confederate training camp and took 200 young conscripts prisoner...

    Bonding with F-75

    After purchasing 4 new metal detectors this summer for various purposes, I'm finding the Fisher F-75 is a coin-hunting master!! New detectors paying off. Haha. They have a learning curve. One of the new ones is finding coins where I hunted with an older one last last year. From 4 hunts...

    F-75 Ltd: Musket Balls - Best settings

    Good idea, David!! THANKS. Another update: Used the F-75 at a well-used NF trail head today and over 20 coins (pennies, dimes, and quarters) popped out of the ground in less than one hour, nothing old however. The F-75 was really humming!! Then went to a really trashy NF...

    F-75 Ltd: Musket Balls - Best settings

    Update: Chose the F-75 out of 3 detectors yesterday to run a field where a 1890 school used to be (remote area). Got hit with a T'shower and had to quit after 60 minutes. Every "quarter" or "dime" turned out to be a buried beer can. Quite a contrast to the hunt above where several...

    F-75 Ltd: Musket Balls - Best settings

    To be honest, can't remember if it is set on zero Discrim............. and the detector is in another building at the moment. But yes, running 3H, 87 sensitivity, DE, and I forgot what else, if anything, other than default. UPDATE to earlier post: I went back to same said backwoods...

    F-75 Ltd: Musket Balls - Best settings

    David and Ron: THANKS so much. This makes sense. So I may not have been over actual musket balls, but most likely some kind of iron. Could the 97-99 readings on the screen have been heavy minerals or rusted iron that has broken down? I have an old 62 caliber musket ball recovered...

    F-75 Ltd: Musket Balls - Best settings

    Howdy. Once again not new to metal detectors but am still "green" with a new F75 Ltd......using standard coil at present but also have the optional 5" round coil. Have not installed that one as of yet because both my Gold Bug Pro and Makro Gold Racer have 5" coils...

    New F-75 Question

    THANKS FELLERS! Y'all are the best! Forgot to share that my F-75 also came with the tiny 5" round coil. Doubt I will use it much since the Makro Gold Racer and Gold Bug Pro already have those 5" coils mounted. On the "Sounds" that are represented by a number and letter like "3H,"...

    New F-75 Question

    THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL!!! Am quickly learning the F75's settings can be easily changed by accident!! That is what makes it so different from my other machines. I did a Reset after following your directions and will make custom adjustments from there. I had a top line...

    New F-75 Question

    Howdy. Not new to metal detectors by any means, but just took possession of new Fisher F-75 Limited Edition. I see down LEFT side of screen: Discrim, Sensitivity, Disc. Level, Notch, # of Tones, and Process #. HOWEVER, when pressing the MENU button, ONLY the "All Metal"...

    Makro Gold Racer coil cover

    Howdy Have hunted around quite a bit for a coil cover for the ROUND 5 1/2 inch Gold Racer coil. None found so far. The 5" diameter cover for my Fisher Gold Bug does not begin to fit. Any advice? Thanks so much in advance. "Bo" in western NC

    Changing Horses - need opinion

    UPDATE: Got antsy after 3 days of reading/studying reviews until cross-eyed. Just placed order for: Nokta Macro Gold Racer w/ 2 coils. I especially wanted the smaller 5" coil so went for a package deal. I saw some advantages to this machine over the Fisher Gold Bug, but probably...

    Changing Horses - need opinion

    THANKS, Jim!! So have the Garrett AT Gold coming to basically replace the Spectrum XLT. Narrowed down a 2nd new "Gold Specific" detector to fit budget. WAS ready to pull trigger on Fisher Gold Bug Pro and spotted the Nokta Macro Gold Racer. I truly want all detectors to...

    Changing Horses - need opinion

    Howdy: PLEASE bare with me: 1. I have a perfectly good White's XLT Spectrum (1999), keeping it for now. I set several custom programs on it years ago but prefer to get something "not so advanced" where owner has to set many manual settings. 2. I have a new Garrett's AT Gold...
