I was pleasantly surprised when I received for Christmas a slightly used but not abused f70 with 2 coils! It has the stock 9 3/4 coil and the 11" DD coil. Are there any members who have experience with this machine that would kindly share any tips, insights or comments about their use of this model? HH Ed in co.

You have some mighty support here! There were very few good infield videos when we all got ours 3 years ago...Several of the guys have done some nice ones like witdwiz's...Funny thing is, we all hunt different styles and settings. It is great on the snow hills if you think you want to give it a try this winter, you can set 55 sens, -3 thresh, 1 disc, DE mode, DP tones and give that a go...with the 11"dd. Since you are running over snow, you dont have to ground balance, and you dont have to run hot sens either...these are my "go to" settings for just about everything totlottish, trash parky, or snowhilly. ..If your snow is deeper than mine, and it probably is, go ahead and run hotter. I use a pick like what witdwiz used in his video on the snow it works great! I also pull a plastic grocery bag over the coil and tie it off to the shaft to keep the snow from balling up on it. If the thing starts to chatter or go nuts near the power equipment at the bottom of the hill, press the HZ button, I think the TONES setting is where we all have a personal preference, and on the 70, you have plenty to choose from! It will save your settings, so you can go in the dark and just turn it on an sweep without fooling around. Real nice present there!
