After loads of antibiotics.....the Lyme disease is about gone, & I'm finally getting to pretty much 100% & ready to get back into some serious detecting with the F75 LTD 
I'm willing to brave the woods again & deer ticks & deer hunters to hopefully give you some strait shooter feedback on this cool looking new unit......
To make sure I had the stamina, & get into some new sites before shotgun season, we did a long hike Sunday & as usual located another nice Colonial foundation that should be a fine place to try my new unit (but also as usual we found this one on the way back to the truck). This left maybe a 1/2 hr to swing (why can't we find these at 10am? :angry
Running 0 disc & listening to it all showed lots of iron in the ground all around...especially the foreground of this picture I snapped when we first walked up on it, so that's encouraging. Plus, this is a pine forest with 4" of needles to contend with so in theory the new unit should help punch through those. This looks like a barn foundation so there could be a house cellar nearby too .......

I dug one nice relic in the short time we had........a nice Colonial, handmade "whizzer" or buzzer toy that I didn't get a pic of yet. Sorry.
Another nice benefit of being in the woods in Sept/ Oct is our wildlife & edible mushrooms really pop.......especially these we found around oak stumps. These tasted damn good!

Disclaimer is that I was with someone who has been mushrooming for years and knew what these were.......so please don't try to pick something that looks like this & could be poison.....
Wildlife included a herd of deer hopping off, and this cool looking Eastern Box turtle we took several pictures of next to a bottle I came across while digging.........
