I use the CTX3030 and have been quite successful with it on coin hunting. But, on some of the demo lots I hunt I really struggle, well everyone struggles, and I wanted to see if I could get some sort of edge on some of the guys I hunt with. One fellow Byron, with 30+ years of detecting, often grabs a Fisher F5 when we hunt those lots. So, I talked with Wayne of Metal Detecting Stuff and bought a Fisher F75. Traded in my E-trac, which still has some warranty left on it and is a great machine. What I wanted was something that had the ability to go deep and pick out the silver. Something different from the CTX and E-trac. Well, picked it up yesterday about 2pm and at home did some basic turn it on, read the book, watch Youtube videos, etc. Today I took it out and used the setting Wayne suggested. First coin was a nickel, and about an hour later and 40 or so coins, I dug a 44 Walker, then the Merc, then the Rosie. It was outstanding and I think I will really like the F75! The yellow toy truck is about 15" long. Rang up as a quarter and was about a foot deep.
