Took the F-19 to an older part of town where a commercial building built in the early 50's was demoed. This place is full of every kind of trash imaginable! Pulled this old sterling cameo ring from the iron and trash. Could not believe there weren't any silver coins, or even any clad. Will hit again with a 5" coil to see what happens. Love the ability of the F-19 to work in dense iron and trash better than any machine I've ever used!

Cool find! Fletch have you used a T2? If so how does the F19 compare? What do you think of it so far?

I haven't used a T2 yet. I was torn between the F-19 and T-2 and decided on the 19 because of the backlight, which is an almost invisible red color, and the notch and ease of use. I've been finding Lincoln's and clad in spots with lots of iron that I've hunted with several Minelab machines. I've ran it several
ways just experimenting with the machine. 0 disc, Vbreak 39, sens 99 and with high disc 72 and a nickel notch. Both ways it really performs well in iron trash. It kills brass and lead, but also hits well on higher conductors. The audio of this machine is very easy on the ears, even in these type environments.

Thanks guys! Really liking the adjustable tone break on this machine and the fact that it's light as a Tesoro!

Just read the review on the F19 in my new Lost Treasure Magaziine........sounds like a sweet little machine! The adjustable V-break is very cool!
