My F5 showed up today. Assembled it, did some air testing, and commenced to hunting the front yard

[attachment 258252 f5.jpg]

4 copper memorials, 1 copper Canadian penny, a clad dime, a clad quarter and a couple pull tabs....
And then the rain set in. Oh well, I'll have to give it another go tomorrow:detecting:
 
There's nothing like the excitement of getting to play with your new MD:detecting:
You must be doing something right with all those finds! Nice one BluesCruise. I'm heading out this afternoon for a few hours so I'll post anything I find this evening.
Keep in touch and let me know what you think of your F5
Regards

Complete envy here! You got to use yours the day that you got it, I'm STILL waiting!!! Another 8 inches of snow was just cleaned off the driveway last night, snow banks about 4 feet high, and my MD still in the carrying case. :blink:

Congratulations on your finds, though!!!! Now I'm REALLY excited to go!!!!

HH Blues! Keep us posted!

Way to go Blues!! Im hoping to be right behind you my f5 should be here in a couple days.
Already got an old school picked out to hunt. HH Yankee!
 
Hey, thanks for the comments everyone! :clap: I've been having a blast with this thing! I picked ap a new Pro Pointer tonight, a belt and finds bag, and the extra bottom shaft showed up UPS today so I don't have to change all the hardware to change coils. I have a 5" GoldBug DD and a 11" DD. Played with the 5" last night, and the 11" tonight. I'd been over the yard with the White's Prizm II, and am finding it doesn't even come close to the separation and depth of the F5. I've got 3 and 4 bars on the Fe304 meter, and I suspect the ability to ground balance to that soil, combined with the 8" coil has a lot to do with that, along with the fact the Fisher is a more expensive and featured machine. The deepest coin so far, was a copper penny at around 8". needless to say I'm impresses with the results, especially considering the mineral content of my yard!!

Hey Blue,

Congratulations! Many more enjoyable days/years are ahead of you for sure. :detecting:

If you don't mind me asking how and or why did you come about using the 8 inch coil? Did you specifically order your F5 with the 8 inch coil, or was it recommended? I was under the impression *new* F5s came only with either the 10 x 5.5 inch concentric coil (such as mine) or the other choice an 11 inch double D coil.

By far most of the ground I,m working with usually shows the same number of Fe304 bars you mentioned (3-4). Do you recall if the 8 inch deep penny, you mentioned, was a good solid, repeatable, target while using the 8 inch coil in ground showing (3-4) bars? If it was I'm thinking the 8" coil may be a worthwhile investment for me.:nerd:

HH and thanks for any insight you may have to offer.

The 8" coil is on the White's Prizm II, not the F5. I have an 11" DD and a 5" DD on the F5 :)
