Last two early morning hunts.:fisher:

[jim tn]

Hit the housing demoed site the last two mornings. All in all, about 7 hours in total. Yesterday, with my hunting buddy and this morning, alone. My buddy yesterday got several wheat cents and I got my small coil over 2 Roosevelt dimes, 52 and 57. No wheats for me yesterday.

The last two mornings I worked the strips between where the Military houses used to lay. This is where all the trash and coins are found. Well, besides the curb strips and along the parking lots and driveways. Both hunts yielded few good targets over all, but I am always pleased with a silver coin. This morning I had one good hole, besides Memorial cents. I got a bouncy high tone hit that was all over the scale, but some high 80's flashes. Having dug several items of trash already, I thought whats one more piece or two. As it turned out, there was a 42 Washington quarter, 44p war nickel and a 46 wheat in the same hole. My camera was in the car, so I went and got it for a couple of shots of the 3 targets fresh from the ground.

Of special note, I had worked my way up to and along a major street with power lines on both sides of it. My other two F 75's and Omega's would go bonkers there with emi. Not so with my current DST model. No emi chatter whats so ever. We are looking at near or may get into the triple digits temp wise these next several days. HH jim tn

Nice finds Jim, my last hunt out I found a silver quarter and a silver dime with my f5 using 11" DD coil and using a bunch of tips from your posts. Thanks for the information and hopefully I'll find some more silver to post this summer.

I personally think that Fisher's 11" DD coils are really great un-maskers and if one works them like you are doing, just inches their way along and narrows the width of swing and investigates all those chirps and tic's, all the double D coils will un-mask some good targets on these so called hunted out trashy spots. This is not to imply that other brand coils won't work, but right now we are talking about Fisher DD coils and we do know that they do perform. Thanks, and good luck. HH jim tn

The EMI noise was the reason I traded my last F75. I had a lot of locations where it just wouldn't hunt. Congratulations Jim. I've actuallly been thinking of selling my XP Deus and getting another F75 LTD with DST.

I don't get to older areas often. I did pick up on a few wheats just listening for that faint high tone. I hunt a bit more in delta pitch doing the same thing but 3H used to be my favorite tone.
Great post Jim. Nice finds!

There is no doubt you can get the high tone when mixed with iron yet an iffy ID number.
Here are two I found in the last 8 months. These had mixed tones and ID. The Barber was in a hole I first pulled a roof nail from. That was deeper than the barber. So I wonder what if the nail was on top. The barber was in the plug.
With the 5" coin I am finding depth reading 2x the actual depth. So 10" means 5". Anyone else notice this?
The SLQ was next to steel but I was in delta pitch tone at the time.

Mark, there is a vast difference, at least with mine, with this generation of DST F 75's then the previous two I owned. In actuality, the F 75's are very easy to run, but has plenty to offer for all kinds of hunting situations. Coin Rescue, those are some wonderful finds under some tough hunting conditions. Nice "rescues" for sure. HH jim tn
