Went hunting and basically used 4H tones on my F75. VDI's in this area have always been erratic so I decided to go strickly by sound and it paid off today. All three of the silver dimes read in the high 80's where a quarter usually reads, but I was determined to go by sound only today. Try it in the areas where the VDI's are very jumpy and you might just be surprised.

Put up with an old man that is yet to receive his F75 and has never done any locating, please. What does VDI stand for? I know it is the digital identification for a particular material/object, but, all my searches have not resolved what the letters stand for.
Is there anyone on this forum that is in the Tyler, TX area? I'm really not the 'club' joining type, but, would like to meet an experienced locator that uses the F75. Thanks to all......this is a very good forum for information!
[Edit: I tried to contact the East Texas Treasure Hunters Association to find someone in Tyler, left one message, the other numbers were no good.]

Visual display identification. i e, the numbers that you see on the screen when going over a target are strong indicators as to what the target is. 30, as an example, is for a nickel target.
A suggestion, when you get your F 75 just leave it set the way it has come from the factory/dealer. Providing, of course, it is a new machine. Leave it in the factory pre set modes and play with it at a local school yard. School yards are good learning spots as there is generally numerous coins for recovering and some trash. Read and study the manual and re-read it from time to time. Get several hours in with it before beginning to crank up the settings. You will dig plenty of pretty deep targets with a sen. setting of 60 and disc. of 10. Read the ground balance portion of the manual and learn how to fast grab g b.
The F 75 is one great detector.

Great explanation, thank you, Jim. I have been studying the manual I downloaded from the net for about a week.....I keep going over it. It will probably make a lot more sense when I have the machine to look at and play with. I already have some school yards and ancient watering holes for cattle drives scouted out. I found a 1936 map of my county that shows a lot of potential sites.....my yard will be the first experiment.
