I see, you've read bad. Bad in what way I wonder, I would like to read that myself. That's interesting since silver is the most conductive metal known to science. Every machine works best on silver. To answer your question, very very good indeed.

Some people say that it is better on relics than coins. I guess I should've phrased my question better. Just asking for some opinions.

Your dealing with sites pounded for several decades all the easy silver is gone from any obvious site big or small... i couldnt tell you how many churches ive been to this summer im guess over a dozen all buildt 1920 or before and i found 1 silver out of 40 hours of hunting them...it dont matter if you got the best metal detector on the planet if the silver is pounded then you will need to dig tons of trash signals to get lucky ....id much rather research something small and off pace with what most have pounded for the last 30 years

The f75 is a killer silver coin machine. If a machine is good on relics, its great on coins, especially big old LC's and little silver dimes. The f75 is the choice of serious relic hunters because they want a good hot machine for the deep stuff anyway, and any coins that come along are icing on the cake.

Silver being very conductive, even the older detectors that we started with found silver easy. I remember turning up disc so MD only went off on silver. Didn't want to waste time on the newer clad.

Just started with the 75-SE and the very first coin I found was a thin holed 1/2 Reale on my 1st outing with the machine. It was only in the 5"-6" range but I was headed back to the car on a fast pace sweeping a old road and it hit on the outer swing. Now I was swinging hard and fast and probably a little sloppy too. This detector is a great relic machine and it will hit on small silver. Check out my June finds in the relic forum. I picked up a 1851 large cent through a dead log laying on the ground in BP mode! She goes deep and sniffs out the good targets in iron.
