F75 in VA soil?

[kmyer74]

I was invited to go hunt a friends small farm in culpeper,va. The only detectors i have are F75 se and a garrett at pro as a back up. Ive never hunted northern va and from what ive read u need a minelab gpx or pulse machine. So,does anyone have experience in that type soil with the f75 se? If so,what settings do you suggest? Thanks in advance

a lot of it is, but not all of it. You'll find the low lying areas and the woods are pretty good, and the F75 will do just fine in those areas in Disc mode. In other hotter areas.........you'll find that all metal works better and deeper, but do not depend on the TID for accurate identification. I've dug buttons in that area that read as low as 11-13. Use.....with a lowish sens.....like around 60 or so. I use all metal where the targets are thinner...like out in the open fields. If you get into an area were the targets are thick, intermingled with iron.....but not particularly deep, used De mode and 2F tones. Dig everything that high tones regardless of ID. If you try to hnut an area thats infested wih iron in all metal.......you'll go insane..and wont be able to separate the good from the bad. 2F will make that a LOT easier to do. The F75 works vert well there.provided you hunt slow and careful, and dig everythnig that even remotely sounds decent.
