F75-SE Had A Clad Kind Of Day::fisher:::detecting:

[tabman]

I hit an old park today with the F75-SE with the NEL Sharpshooter coil attached. I was using 3H tone in the boost mode, and had the sensitivity set most of the time around 90. I about wore myself out digging clad coins. I finally managed to get a Canadian penny, 1945 wheat penny, 1918? Mercury dime, a duck, an old bullet, a butterfly and a unknown object that might be silver. Anyway, I had a great day. I was stripping layers of clothing off all day long. It got up to 50 degrees with calm winds and a sunny sky.

Now that's a pile of clad...and good job on the older coins. Beautiful day, for sure.

At this point, I will dig trash all day long, as long as it's sunny and 50 degrees.

1917 Dime , and you did Great!!!!

 

[kaolinwasher]

[Steve O]

Nice! Yes, I agree with mascard...I see 1917 merc, from blowing up the pic.

 

[Elton]

Nice on the Silver .............. looks like that dime has been passed around for awhile...........

1917 Dime , and you did Great!!!!

Yeah, you're right, it is 1917. That camera sure does take good closeup shots.

Thanks everyone. I went out today and loaded up on a bunch more clad. I'm trying a lot of different settings since the F75-SE is new to me. Today I was detecting in extremely thick trash (pry-caps, can slaw, all types of pull tabs and rotten zinc pennies) using the Sharpshooter coil. I was hoping to pull a gold ring out of all the trash. I set the discrimination at '7', tone 3H, process 'je' mode and 50 on the sensitivity. At those settings I was picking coins out of the trash with extreme ease. Loads of nickels. The audio tones were clean and crisp. I didn't find any gold rings but I had a great time looking for them.

Tabman, congrats on the great hunt. How are you liking the F75? I am seriously considering an F70, which is suppose to be very similar in performance. Have read a lot of amazing things about the F70 and it is within my price range. This would be my first Fisher. Don't let that wonderful Compadre get to lonely!

You are about to sell me on the NEL coil Tabman. I was just wondering why you don't use 4h tones? This would make the unit like the CZ3D and put some of the older type coins in the mid high tone and separate them from the tabs that could hide them in 3H. You seem to be in an older area that these coins could be found.

I use 4h in certain spots myself. In tabs case, though, he digs most everything, anyway. He doesn't miss much. HH jim tn.

The detector is brand new to me and I'm not used to the audio tones yet. I know from experience and from reading the manual that Indian Head Pennies and some wheat pennies fall in the 4th tone, but so do a lot of aluminum screw caps. I guess I was trying to do some cherry picking, but I still couldn't resist digging a few screw caps.

One good thing about the NEL Sharpshooter coil, you don't feel that it's too big for those trashy areas, nor too small for those large open areas. It has good depth. I dug a Reale at 7+ inches in the 'DE' mode with my T2SE using the Sharpshooter coil. Those coins are tiny! If the T2SE had more than 2 tones in the boost mode, I would have been using the boost mode where I was detecting. I like both the T2SE and F75SE for different reasons.

Depth may play a key to the mid high tone. If shallow and in a cap ridden area it probably is that. I have read to look for the deeper signals and if you have found silver or a older coin then look for the signals that are in that depth strata. I've got a F75LTD coming this week and have done a ton of reading on N**a T*m page. Really good reading. Just the EMI issue concerns me. I went through it with an Omega but I'm hearing the new V.8 editions have had a fix to help but not eliminate it. They have tied all the grounds together to prevent it from being an antenna. At least that is the rumor. I will be keeping the ET just in case it doesn't work out. I do a lot of city hunting and the wires are above ground. I'm also hearing the NEL coils have the best resistance to EMI on the 75. Keeping my fingers crossed as I like the light weight of the 75.

That makes sense! Thanks

Don't worry about EMI with the newer F75SE. You can turn the sensitivity down in the boost mode and hardly notice any depth loss.

Sweet hunt
