my first hammered silver coin with f75

[hoarder]

i found my first english hammered coin yesterday with my fisher f75

i have found over 100 with other machines over the years but the first good coin with a new machine is always a good feeling & gives you confidence in your new machine.

i decided to run my f75 hot and set it up like this:
sens 75 / disc 0 / 4 tones / de mode it was a bit noisy and i have been told to use 2 tones in future as it filters out most of the noise.

i was working freshly cut corn stubble that was at least 6 inches high and i was passing my coil above stubble as the machine was sounding off if i touched the stubble.

i got a really sweet high pitched signal,i dug down 6 inches and a lovely silver coin was sat there in the hole....overall depth from coil to coin was a good 12 inches and boy did the machine know it was there !!!!

this coin is an elizabeth 1st silver hammered sixpence dated 1592
wafer thin and size is 25mm

i also found loads of other coins,buckles,etc

i would also like to point out that i have hunted this field on and off for the last 11 years and have never found any hammered silver coins in this field with all the machines i have owned in the past.

this is my 2nd f75 as the first one was defective and to be honest it nearly put me off the machine but now i am glad i stuck with it as this machine really is the business !!!!

I'm going to germany in october and willtake the F75 with me. Last time i found some coins in the 1500 and 1700.
From what i read from the europe guys they do very well with the F75.

cool find. All i can find is cut halfs .

The north has not that many limits than the southern part.
It is legal to detect, but not close to castles and stuff like that.

Beaches and privat land have never been a problem. Since detecting is not as popular in germany as here most don't even know what you are doing.

I have a friend that lives in Bavaria and hunts around Germany he will tell you differently, he posts on the Xterra forum his handle is Bavaria Mike he will answer your questions about hunting. I spent a week over there a couple of years ago and believe me the laws are stringent...Geo

Hi m8 still have the F75, the ex11,and the cz3d ,been lucky this week,4 hammies ,2 with the f75 and 2 with the ex11,I tend to use the f75 mostly because of the lightness of the detector and the quick response,but using the swingy thing bungee, makes light work for the ex11, both are excellent detectors ,the CZ3D,I use mainly on the beach with great effect and depth wise is very good .all the best JM

all the best
