Digger that flying eagle penny is a SUPER fine. I'm thinking they were manufacturer for only a few years and are really rare. That's the first one I've ever seen on the forum.

Thanks buddy. The were minted for three years. 56 57 & 58.

Awesome penny. At what depth did you find it ?

Awesome penny. At what depth did you find it ?

Around 6". The place has pretty bad ground. Lots of iron & decomposed iron in it. It's been hunted by lots of relic hunters buddy. They passed it up & the others I found lol. I use a Nel attack coil on my G2 & F19. It does really well for a big coil. Now I had to replace the plugs on both of them. Thanks

I really love the F19.
One of my favorites for sure.

Can you give some information about finding it? Was it deep? within iron nails?

Great find!!

I found these in a beaten camp. Lots of decomposed iron & cut nails. The deepest target was the .58" minie ball @7"-8". The rest was around 6"+7". I use a 15" Nel attack coil. It does good even as big as it is in iron. I had the v break at 40. The iron audio at 12 & the sensitivity 100. It's a good detector.

I checked out the F19. It is said to do really well in iron and good separation. I wonder how it compares to the F75 Ltd.?

Tony, Jim has a few videos featuring the F19, the twin brother G2+ and F75 (not the limited version but the newest with DST). It gives you an idea what to expect in trash and as far as the visual ID at depth is concerned. I can tell you the F19 can hold its own against many machines in total junkyards. I'm hunting at an old school yard these days and the amount of ferrous and non ferrous trash is awesome. Yet I can pull modern clad coins (with steel core) and old silver and copper coins from the lot even with a large coil. When I set the machine to all metal to ground balance, I can hardly find a clean part to ground balance on. There's metal literally everywhere. So to answer your question, although I have never used an F75 but by what I have seen, read and heard they should be comparable in separation.

make a search on youtube for relics1864.

Digger, don't you wish you could push the sensitivity a little higher at times ? It's so stable at 100, it could take the extra boost for a 1-2 inch gain and a harder hit on 6+ inch targets. But then again, maybe the stability is why I like it so much. It seems sure footed at all times.

Dang, those minnies are like the fire bell to the ole dog---keep up the good work.

Ots a very stable machine that's why I use it over my T2se. Now when I want depth & I mean real depth I break out my TDI. ]

What detector is the TDI?

 

[lytle78]

Whites TDI - a pulse induction detector.

Whites TDI - a pulse induction detector.

That whites treated like unwanted company and refused a couple mods,OFFERED FREE,that has made my TDI PRO a permanent
replacement for my 2 ML PI's.

The basic concept which Eric Foster created has been studied and developed for 10 uearss by Alexandre Tartar in France - he was recently hired by First Texas (Fisher and Teknetics). We can look forward to new developments in PI technology from there.
