This was my first time out with the new F75 LTD and I must say I was impressed with it. Still learning the machine of course. Scanned the instructions one more time before heading out and decided to use the PF and BP modes; ran the sensitivity @ 85 with 2F tones for Relic Hunting. It was a little chattery at times (so I lowered the sensitivity a bit) and thought I had a very good first hunt with it. 
I was impressed with its ability to pickup deep targets. I think this will be a great compliment to my other metal detector. THANKS for looking and I appreciate everyone's comments in advance. CCH

A little history of the area:
In 1854, the first post office was established at Fordoche, Louisiana, with Thomas Farrar designated as its first postmaster. There are two conflicting stories about how the town's name was derived. One story is that it received its name from a Caddo Indian word meaning "wild animal hair" and the other suggests that it is named after a French term for underbrush found in bayou bottom.
At least two American Civil War battles were fought in and around Fordoche. "The Battle of Fordoche Bridge" was fought in September 1863. Union troops were sent to prevent the Confederacy from operating in the upper Atchafalaya but the Confederates were successful in driving back the Union forces.
In May 1864, the Confederates were again victorious over the Union troops at the "Skirmish on Bayou Fordoche Road".
The area saw an influx of Italian immigrants after 1890.
