Today I hunted an old lodge circa 1910. I have hunted this area many times in the past so I decided to use the F75 in Motion All Metal with Sensitivity set at 87. After about 2 hours without digging any coins, I came across a signal that was bouncing between 31 and 34 and pinpointed at 9 inches. Hoping for a nice deep nickel I decided to dig. After cutting a 7 inch plug I used my pinpointer in the hole and it vibrated on a target that was down about 2 more inches. I again scooped it out with my digger. Expecting to see a nickel, out popped a 1915-D Wheat Penny. I scanned the hole again with the F75 and it showed a reading of 32-37. At this point I switched over to the Disc. side that had settings of Disc. 5,Sensitivity 75 with 3 Tones in DE Process. With the Disc. giving mostly low tones and numbers between 30 and 42, I normally would not dig this type of Disc. reading. I then switched back over to All Metal side and after I moved the dirt around with my hand I seen two nickels at the bottom of the hole. After recovering the nickels, a check with the pinpointer showed more targets in the hole. Running the coil over the hole NOW gave a solid 78-82 reading. One more scoop with the digger and two more Wheats and the two Barber Dimes were seen scattered in the bottom of the hole at a measured 9 inches. With the Wheats being a green color combined with the two nickels being above the silver dimes,the F75 could not read the silver coins until the nickels were removed. I am sure the 9 inch depth also played a role in this. "IF" I had been hunting in Disc. with the 3H Tones I might of had a chance of digging this target....Thanks for looking
