First run with my new F70

I played around it a bit in my test garden first. I had an omega 4 years ago, and a T2 last year, so I'm somewhat familiar with these badboys.
I went to the local park, near an area where the saddle club has a riding area. There was one area that was loaded with trash, I hit that area first with the 5" coil.
I ended pulling 18 clads out of that mess, including 2 nickels. I like finding nickels. One quarter was 5" deep, one pulltab was 7" deep. I had the sensitivity set too high, at 90.
Detector ran ok, but some of the trash was sounding good, including that deep pulltab. I thought I had a deep quarter at first. I was running disc at 25, 3 tone , sens usually around 70. Not bad for an hour and a half.
I put the 11DD coil on next, headed out into a cleaner area. Deepest quarter was 5" . Soil is rather dry. We are getting a good soaker tonite, so my conscience told me it was ok to cut a few plugs.:angel: I hit a few more clads, then tried the delta pitch setting. I kinda like the audio. Coins really stand out. I went back to the trashy area, off to the side closer to the building. More coins. I then dropped the disc down to 1. :thumbup: The noise was not bad, and the machine gives a faster response, as the signal does not have to go thru much of the filters first. My first good sounding signal ended up being a coin spill of about 20 coins in a 6 inch circle, 1/2" deep. I almost pitched my new ultra sensitive TRX pinpointer in the trash can, until I figured out what it was.:lmfao: I finished my 3 hour hunt with 50 clads, almost $6 worth. I was a bit disappointed with my totals, as I was hoping to keep up with Mudpuppy, paying off his detector with clad every time he goes out!! LOL..:crylol:
An awesome park machine for sure. Looking forward to tomorrows hunt.
 
And so it begins....
I got mine last Dec, immediately started to find silver, gold, clad and old coins.
I messed around with the settings and tones a lot.
I found a ton, but I probably would have found even more if I experimented less...but it was so much freakin fun I have no regrets.
I have settled down a bunch and my finds are coming in at a good rate...still silver and gold jewelry and some older coins, too.
This thing awes me on almost every hunt...still.
I just hope you learn to love this thing somewhere near the amount that I do.
A fantastic tool that lets me enjoy this great hobby to the utmost.
 
Great report with settings, conditions, noticings and all...:clapping: I think you did real well! My first time out with the 70 I found 7 zincs, and I was on cloud 9!:rofl:

I would like to get the F-70 someday, I have been watching it for some years, 7" deep on a pull is good with that small coil . you have a lot of options with that machine,
 
Just yesterday I dug a beaver tail pull tab at a measured 10" deep with my F70 and sniper coil.
One of those maddening solid high tone on every swing signals, as deep pull tabs will sometimes do, and not much info on the screen at all since it was so deep Still got a few 70's number show up briefly which pushed me over and made me dig it.
Hate that this thing was a pull tab, love that the sniper coil picked up a solid signal, audio anyway, at 10".
Sense was at 85, disc on 1, DE, thresh was at -1, 4H tones.
No info on the screen at DE, switched to SL and that is when a few numbers showed up to the party.
