Today I was able to hunt an early 1900's country church yard with the F75. I used Motion All Metal Mode with Sensitivity set at 88. After about a half hour hunting without even a memorial or clad it was obvious that the area had been hunted hard. Instead of giving up I decided to start digging lower number targets that were in the 50-60 VDI range. The first target was a 56-58 reading that showed 7 inches while pinpointing and was a 1921 Wheat Cent with the usual green "patina" and corrosion. I spent the next few hours digging targets that were bouncy 52-63 VDI readings. I ended up finding a total of 14 Wheats plus the Indian Head and Buffalo. The first three Wheats on the 2nd row were in the same hole together and you can see in the photo where two of them were stuck together .They were 1913 1926 and 1929 Wheats that gave a low 60's VDI. As I stated earlier,the area has been heavily hunted as you can tell from the lack of modern coins and also the lack of silver coins that normally give higher VDI numbers. I feel that many of the "patina" coated coins have been passed over in a lot places by other detectors in the past. I normally dig mid range VDI readings but was very surprised today that these were the only hits that produced coins. Not a pretty group, but coins none the less....Thanks for looking
