How Well Does The F75 LTD Handle Hot Ground?

Boost mode hurts you more than it helps though. I found that by running in Motion All Metal is the best way to handle hot soil. The F75 has a short iron resolution so it rejects most iron on its lowest of discrimination settings. That is NOT what you want in bad soil!! Even the higher conductive targets can read as iron in ground at relatively shallow depths. In the very least the ground will cause things to read way lower than they normally do. All metal will let you hear those signals...all VLFs do this. The F75 is one of the better ones at it. Ground balance often too.

Civil War bullets usually read from Pulltab to Zinc cent in normal ground and in air tests. In the ground I hunt they normally read as iron between the numbers of 11-13 in ground and then read normal out of the ground.

I personally think the T2 is better for bad ground conditions. It has a wider iron resolution than the F75 so you can actually get away with some discrimination and not have as severe of consequence as with the F75. All metal still works best though.

I agree that motion all metal is the way to go in bad ground. But I do use boost process while in motion all metal, seems to smooth out the signals and is a bit deeper.

Good report, also does anyone know, is the T2 Ltd better than the F75 Ltd at handling EMI(chatter).??? (or about the same.?)

When I had my T2 ltd I didn't have too much chatter as I do with my f70 and f75.I found more coins with my T2 than with any detector i've had in the last 5 years !!! I sold my T2 and got myself a f70 and f75 because of the NOTCH feature which the T2 doesn't have but wish I had my T2 back as too much shatter with f70 etc. I honestly believe the T2 can get a little deeper in hot ground than the f70 or f75. jmho.I've had them all from f2 thru f75 to T2 LTD and all the Greeks (2000-4000-6000-8000) They are all good fast recovery detectors and Dave did good helping making these. U can't beat them.
