F-75 SE in bad ground?

[88junior]

How does the F-75 SE do in mineralized soil? I currentley use a CZ-5 and it does pretty good in my ground and am curious to see if I would benefit any getting a F-75 SE. I know the learning curve will be a little more on the F-75 SE.

I use the F75 in The North and it works great, Having used the CZ5 years ago and now the F75... The 75 is deeper with a little more chatter.... Much faster on responses, and had the better visual ID system and Audio...That is in my opinion All.... I know you CZ users are devoted LOL

It really depends on how bad the ground is . The CZ being a dual freq machine has more flexibility in different types of soil.
Best to find someone near you using one.

For me the original F75 did fine, but the LTD model with boost was a noise box unless I turned it down to below 30. Just my area.

I can't wait to see the next model.
I am very pleased with the CZ's and especially with the F-75.

I have used the F75 in the Virginia iron dirt and down in the Atlanta area of red clay, including my little pockets of both types in east Tennessee. The F75 is one of the better VLF machines for the job IF used correctly for it. In dirt this bad, everything but the shallowest targets will read as iron. I dug an eagle breastplate from the Civil War in VA that was just 10" deep or so, and it read totally as iron. Gave VDI of 11 - 13. Bullets did the same. You couldn't get good audio on them in disc mode but motion all metal mode allowed me to at least get a signal and then use my ears to decide to dig.

The DIV hunts I went on...boost mode seemed to hinder the machine more than help. The preamp gain was too much for that bad of soil...thus meaning it was erratic and couldn't really balance in it. It required a big drop in sensitivity. The same went for here and north GA as well.
