Fisher F75

[Chris Canada]

Hey guys,
I am new to the Fisher as I got rid of my xlt and got a F75 with 4 coils and sunray probe.woohoo.
I was at a park today that I know produces coins,,,not all old but still coins.
I was wondering what signals you guys dig.
do you pay attention to he foil, zinc and such or the VDI or strickly the tones
Oh and by the way This park i hunt does produce OLDIES.
I picked up a 852 Bank of upper canada penny bank token,in amazing shape!!
just wondering what you guys would suggest for me.As I should have dug alot more I would have thought anyway.
No doubt that I am going to love this machine once I get the hang of it!!
Cheers from Canada,
Chris

Here are the signals I dig.

I dig anything repeatable when I "X" the target if looking for coins or jewelry . . . and sometimes off signals have yielded jewelry as well. It depends where I am. In trashy parks I tend to ignore more of the trash like signals. In an old site or the woods I'll dig most everything.

Realize that detectors know less than the display may indicate. They detect relative changes in conductivity vs. the ground they are balanced to and use internal programming parameters to interpret responses. They don't know gold from aluminum foil - it's just those metals have different conductivity and surface eddies of the transmitted detector signal. A partial pull tab and a small gold ring register pretty similar.
