Third time running the F70...getting better at it...

...though you wouldn't know it with my finds. Two zincolns, and a ton of trash, at an abandoned 1930 home I recently got permission to hunt. Talk about TRASH. This place was FILLED with it. I'm used to pull tabs, nails, and screw caps, but this was crazy! MUCH more random junk at a homesite than a park. I had nice repeatable tones ALL OVER the TID spectrum. I dug 'em, as I was not sure what they might be at an old homesite; you name it, I think I found it. Nothing of value though -- junk. But, I'm learning how to run this cool machine. I got machine-gunned again today with all the tones, but I'm learning to manage it. Today, the machine gunning was ALL targets in the ground, as I had virtually zero EMI. After setting up the machine it was super stable and quiet in the air; I was even able to run 99 sens +9 thresh if I wanted to, but I didn't, as I wanted to cut down on all the trash tones. I used the 10" stock elliptical concentric; next time at this site I think I'll use the 5" DD; I am SURE this site has some old coins (and hopefully some jewelry) on it; another issue is that much of it is VERY overgrown -- 6" tall grass everywhere that was SCREAMING for an F75 LTD/T2 LTD in boost mode!! :). I'll make you a deal -- anyone with an LTD that is willing to give me Fisher F-series lessons (and detecting tips in general :) ), you can join me at this virgin site -- I'll get an education, and meanwhile I can watch in awe as you pull the deep silver out, while hovering over the 6" tall matted bermudagrass!

Seriously, though, I continue to learn, and to be impressed with the sensitivity of this machine. The coolest thing today was that I pulled one of the zincolns from a 6" hole that, before I found the penny in my dirt pile, yielded two rusty iron nails. Very impressed that this machine found the penny in that close of proximity to two nails!

Steve, glad to see you are getting along with F70,sure sounds like a great place to hunt I think you will do well at that location.Keep posting for all of us with snow cover.

Thanks, Dale.

I will keep posting -- I understand how those of you farther north feel; I was suffering from the "snow cover" issue too here the past couple of weeks!! However, in Oklahoma, it usually doesn't stick around too long. Temps today (and the rest of the upcoming week) in the 50s and 60s will allow erosion of any remaining snow patches, and some nice hunting weather!

Still looking for that ladies ring...gotta dollar coin, 8 Q's, 11 D's, 4 N's...the F70 depth indicator seems to work right on the snow...Its warming up here this coming week, the snow piles are huge, cant wait! HH sgoss66!
 
Mudpuppy --

I hope you find that ring; in the mean time, you are kicking some tail with the F70! Great hunt there finding all those coins. I too have been impressed with the F70's depth readout. Unless it is an unusually small or large object, it seems to be real accurate (and since it is calibrated for coin-sized objects, it's no wonder there is some error in the depth readout when pinpointing very small, or very large, objects).

Keep us posted!
