Yes, all metal maxed out in the woods is a very deep seeking machine. But remember high sensitivity setting doesn't mean you'll find all targets. Best to adjust until it's just quiet or a little noise and go for it. In all metal you can adjust the threshold into the negative numbers to help with the very small targets you don't want to dig.

Somewhere I read that running the F75 with some discrimination gives better depth than All-Metal mode. I know this is true for my Musky as well. I run at a disc of 4, which is still high gain but does cut some of the worst iron bits. I like the default mode and set the sensitivity up as high as it is stable (usually between 80 and 95, depending). Ground balance frequently and seep as fast as the brush allows. The F75 is not a slow, poke-and-hope type detector.

Add a fire rake to your arsenal and you'll get better results in the woods. Clear the likely spots of saplings and have at it.

I use AMM - that mode is more accurately for ID than disc mode
More watch on screen but even iron lay next to copper in AMM is more 'visible' for me.
