beach hunt today with the F75 ...

[Willee - Texas]

Was very pleased with the way it ran in the dry saltwater sand.

Stayed in the DE mode and it was just too quiet.
Fast grab at 60 and sensitivity at 80 ... I thought the detector had turned off.
Increased the Sensitivity to 88 where there was a slight threshold tone.
Odd ... 87 quiet ... 88 threshold tone ... but I liked that weak tone there reassuring me all was well with the machine.
I could hear the tone drop out and quickly recover when I passed the coil over an iron target.

Didnt find much as there has not been many beach people out lately as yo can see from the photos.
Beautiful day and no people!
Some of the the clad coins I did find were obviously there for a while and some were quite deep.
I was surprised that the F75 SE was actually more stable there than my E-Trac.

How do they get all this performance out of a machine that runs on 3 vdc?

Mine was the same "87 quiet ... 88 threshold tone" I usually ran mine at 87 when I could.

Great report!

I might add that I uasualy set the F-75 up in DE mode and the sensitivity at 60.
Set at 88 it was really detecting much deeper than you would normally need on a beach.

I reserve the BP (boost mode) for when I suspect deep silver.

hi Willee, You said that you reserved the bp for deep silver------why not run all the time in bp??
