New site new detector and your opinions

[brianfloyd]

Hi I'm new to this forum. First I'd like to say I really enjoy reading anything new about techniques and settings esp on the f 75. Almost as fun as hunting or researching. What I'd like to ask to get opinions on is this. Made a call to a friend who about hunting on a vacant lot I used to hunt( just wanted repermision). It's in an old community with lots of history and some civil war skirmishes nearby. I've found some silver and Indian heads years ago at a lot nearby. So he tells me I could hunt a lot next to his house that his wife was born in early 1940s and it was an old house then. There's a trailer there and other than an old barn I'd never known about the history of the lot. Hunted for a couple hrs yesterday with some success. It's not near as trashy or iron as I thought it would be and the soil is pretty soft and little sandy I found modern coins back to a 1963 penny all about 4 " or less and a civil war era 58 cal about 6". Some trash big lot and dont think it's ever been hunted. So given these settings how would you set up your machine. 1 tone low disk and work on removing targets and trash or 3 or 4 tone all metal or cherry pick w a high disc. This is gonna be my go to spot for a while really excited about it. Just wanting your opinions

Welcome to the forum,
I think if it were my spot I would cherry pick with disc just below zinc's and one tone or 1F, you never know when a location may go off limits. Then after that I drop the disc down below nickels and run 4H tones, hit it 90 degrees from the first pass, that should get the coins and then your tones outside the coins may get you into some of that civil war stuff. If your machine has the boost processor I would run that over the area at 45 degrees from the first pass.

If you have other coils you can do the same thing all over again, sometimes those small coils will pick up a mask target that was missed by a larger coil.

Good luck,

Ron in WV
