Today's haul with the F75

Love to see that silver come out of the ground. That's a great day of hunting.
Just some ideas. I have been running the F75LTD2 for about 3 years now. When in FA mode when U hear a quick solid tone switch over to DE mode to hear it solid to make it easier to decide to dig. Also, If U have say a larger coil like the NEL tornado U can run FA mode and achieve greater depth. FA seems to loose a little depth over other settings. You can run the F75 in Boost with a larger coil in open areas and set the sens to near 0. You will pull quarters and other small objects at 10-12 inches easy. I found a quarter at 10 inches with boost on and disc set at 0. Just some ideas to try. Some after market coils seem to not pick up nickels if U use notch at say 27 and disc at higher settings. U might want to just set disc at 27 and ignore any targets in the 35-49 range.
Nalc, thanks for the tips. I actually have the Fisher 18" coil that came with the F75. It's a monster! I could give it a shot next time out. How is the target separation on a large coil like that? My location has lots of nails, aluminum bits, sheet metal, etc. basically everything you would find after tearing out 1940s-50s housing.
I have found FA to be really fast, so fast that a good target could sound like a very short bip, similar to tiny pieces of trash. When I hear a good tone (using DP tones) if I slow down my sweep right over the target it generally would give me a good ID. I also switched to DE mode for a bit and found I was getting a lot of falseing and up averaging, the amount of micro trash is insane.
I managed to pull a 1953 dime out today along with 17 wheat cents and a handful of memorials.

I have the Big coil from NEL. I use a sling. It actually separates great and very deep. I have the new NEL thunder on my etrac. I think the THunder would be great for the F75. Try putting the detector on disc 65, BP, and Notch 27. Also Sens 0-10. It will be stable and deep. What kind of 17 inch coil are u using. The Thunder coil is 15 inches and lighter than a stock coil. Just some ideas. let me know how it works for U. Run the 5 inch stock coil with FA in high junk area. It is amazing.
I found it will still pick up nickels with discrim at 65 and notch off in BP. it seems to be more stable at a high discrimination setting. It has been said it goes deeper at high discrim settings.

Maybe it just felt like a 18". LOL
When that 15" came out there was a few posters were talking about how heavy it was, and some talked about it was showing a bend in the lower rod.
We all knew what coil you were talking about, and a lot of us have posted and wish we could have it back.
As for suggestions, I have been running F75's since 2010 and I was hoping you would give me some. My latest F75Ltd has it all and I can't recall ever finding any silver while using the FA processor.
You are doing good, keep it up and let us know how you are doing.
