Does anyone utilize the F75 Cache process for hunting "beaten to death" & "cleaned out areas" for deep coins?

Hunting for deep coins in the Cache process mode has me intrigued. Through reading the manual it seems as if the F75 will penetrate deeper by increasing sweep speed. However, I am the type that enjoys hunting slooooow and when I read about this method using the Cache Process it caught my attention. (I get to hunt slow :)) If there is anyone out there that utilizes this method, I would like to hear your thoughts. This "very slow sweep" they mention in the manual, would this be as slow as Minelab Sovereign sweep? I would enjoy hearing some comparisons in depth / unmasking and accuracy of ID for those that have used both. - Jim


"Whereas in Default process slowing your sweep speed leads to a loss of sensitivity, the Boost and Cache Locating processes allow you to sweep
slower, without a loss of sensitivity."

"The Cache Locating process is primarily for locating large, deep objects while searching with the searchcoil several inches off the surface of the ground. It is free of the gradual threshold drift which can occur in the Static All Metal Mode. In general, its response is too slow for ordinary relic hunting or coinshooting. But if you prefer a very slow sweep speed (for instance, if you are accustomed to using the older technology of heavy and sluggish competitive detectors) you can still achieve good results."

In areas which have been pounded to death and were seemingly hunted out, even by the predecessor version of the Fisher F75, the Boost process can make such sites productive again. By detecting targets which were just out of reach of other machines, or by lengthening the duration of good sounds that were too hard to hear amid trash sounds, old sites are again productive. If a site has been especially productive in the past, you may want to revisit it using the Cache Locating process and utilize a very slow sweep.
 
Someone posted some time ago that they had good luck using the CL process buy setting the sensitivity very low, like at 15.
 
Thanks Cal for the information. I thought for sure since there are many F75 users that I would have had more of a response. I have come to the conclusion that this setting must be "brand new" to many that own the detector. Thanks again - Jim
 
This setting may be the "diamond in the rough" for finding what others have walked right over. I am very interested in hearing / seeing your results. I know you have to wait for the 4 feet of snow to melt first :puke:

Hi Jim, I have not used those setting. I will try them now that you mentioned it. Thanks , Chris
 
I believe the CL process could yield results with patience. I feel though the ground needs to be mild or milder, not overly mineralized.
