I took my F19 to a park just to play around with it and get an idea how well it worked just general detecting. I set it up like a YouTube video said and proceeded to give it a try. I found several clad coins but their signal was somewhat soft compared to other detectors I have used. Then I hit a nickel and it was like BAM! This thing does ok on pennies, dimes and quarters but nickels and small gold hit extremely hard. I found a 10K kids ring and it sounded exactly like the nickels. One thing I noticed about this machine is how much like a CZ it is except it ignores rusty iron and steel. The weight of it is wonderful! The only thing negative is how soft the other coins hit. quarters were at 83/84 dimes 80/82 and pennies were consistent at 78. The nickels and little ring came in at 54/56.
I will keep this a bit longer as I was always a huge fan of the CZ 7a for finding gold and silver.
