Fisher F75 / Fisher F44
Primary Interest:
All Treasure Hunting
Hello everyone. Well took the F75 out the other day and scored 2 awesome coins. If it were not for Felix at Fisher Detectors I don't believe I would have found them..He tuned my F75 up and it is on point now.. Well I was walking along and had the 75 in 2F, De mode, Discrimination at 12, Notch 1...Got a signal that just screamed at me dig me up. I literally thought it was a quarter on top of the ground. Looked at my depth meter and it was pegged....Deep as it will go. Pinpointed and it said 8 inches. Well cut my plug,,still in the hole..That was 6 inches..Dug some more dirt out..Still in the hole. That was 8 inches..After digging a little more dirt out from around the hole my Lesche was up past the hand hilt..Out popped the green copper. I fell over..Couldn't believe it. Recanned the hole. Nothing..Started walking about 5 feet further in a straight line and bam...Same signal. I said "NO WAY.." Dug down about the same depth another copper. By then I let out a yell and started getting spectators so I filled holes and headed to the truck...Got home and could tell it was a draped bust in bad shape. All I wanted was a date. It looks like they may have been in a fire...But could still get the 1807 date off of one of them. Thanks for looking ya'll...Keep Diggin...

sweet! copper is indeed copper, and draped busts are a step above. congrats on the tune-up.
um, just out of curiosity, how'd you clean 'em?
 
NICE! some sweet coppers there! :thumbsup:
 
Very nice oldies you got there...I'd be happy with those in my collection :icon_thumleft:
 
yeah im kinda curious on that cleaning method also, sweet coin :thumbsup:

I hear the f75 is a good machine, i use my cz3d with the 10.5 and have dug coppers well over 10 inches. i have well over 20 that are too crusted to read, but yeah, those fishers can really sniff it out :thumbsup:
 
Sweet finds!! Congrats!! And thanks for sharing (Dom's) recipe!

Well since you put it that way, I better take it down. Sounds like he might not want it shared. I don't want to be that guy.
 
Atleast you can make out what they are. If only those coins could talk. :icon_thumright:
