My F75LTD/DST model has proven itself highly EMI resistant and extremely sensitive to the tiniest gold jewelry and it is has become my detector of choice for my wood chip playground gold patches. I run it with the little narrow 5x10" DD coil, 99 Sensitivity, 0 Disc, 1N tone, in JE mode and it doesn't miss the tiniest of targets. I use JE over Boost because I can sweep JE faster. And the 1N tone mode has built in iron rejection that is below the 2tone ferrous range so I get extra small non-ferrous with it while maintaining some ferrous rejection. Works very well for me. Hadn't been wood-chipping in while and it was nice to get out with it.
This little beauty came out of elementary school's wood chip playground yesterday morning. A solid 23 TID number. I got some small trash gold too (18k white gold plated clasp items) but the real keeper was this beauty. Marked 10k and CZ. So the stones are most likely cubic zirconia. Wife has officially claimed it as a Mother's Day present.
