hi Mike, since you've been a tester for both the F19 and the 'new' version of F75 I wanted your opinion/comparison of these 2 new machines.
As a 'trashy' park hunter I'm wondering how the new 'FA mode' and Digital Shielding compare to the F19 (effectively the same as G2 minus some features).
I do think the F19 with the 5X10 coil has the advantage in 'ease of coverage' as it's a closed coil vs the F75 11" open coil. The 5" dd does come with the LTD but is too small/slow for my desired use (faster ground coverage yields more finds). also the new LTD's Boost Mode can't be combined with the FA Mode correct?
It seems the new 'FA mode' (along with the Digital Shielding) is an attempt to give the F75 some of the good manners that the F19/G2 already have.
As a G2 owner I'm wondering if the new F75 would be a worthwhile purchase (for urban park use). I really like my G2 but I'm always wishing I had another couple inches of depth with the solid VID capability and target separation the G2/F19's are noted for...some of the parks I detect are old and have the potential for some nice older coins/relics.
thanks....
