Silver in the turf lesson I learned

[ziphius]

A new lesson I learned on the F-75 is to run it in Delta Pitch mode for turf silver. If you run it in 3 or 4 tones (called 3H and 4H in the manual), silver dimes and clad dimes will sound exactly alike. This is because the 3H and 4H options are essentially monotone within a range of higher VID values. Delta pitch, on the other hand, is a continuous scale, it becomes sweeter and higher with every numerical increase in VID. I've been consistently digging 8-9 inch silver using this mode. Oops, cat’s out of the bag now…

No upgrades. My gasket around the housing is cracked and gone and I've got the weak battery spring generation of the F-75. My only qualms about what is otherwise a monster of a deep-seeking machine.

I highly recommend STAYING AWAY FROM JE MODE for at least a few months while you learn this machine. It is way too hot and the chatter will drive you nuts. The machine is extremely deep-seeking in DE mode. - Jim
