F75 finds first silver!

john37115 · Feb 19, 2009

I got bored today and went to the old fairgrounds to try and learn the new F75 I bought last week. I started of digging a few deep nails and just when I was about to give up I got a nice two way signal showing 10" on the meter so I dug it and bang a 1917 d mercury I thought OK that's the sound I'm looking for then went on to dig a total of 10 older coins from 7"-9" it's like it suddenly clicked with me. I know the nickels aren't nothing to brag about but they were deep all pre-1964 and the one War nickel had a nail rusted to the back of it, one 1940 and 1950 nickel, the other merc was a 1926 and the wheats were 1942,1938 and 1919. I was pretty impressed with this new machine and to think I was about to right it off as a relic detector only, which I love it for that also.

Nice Coins John. Those fairgrounds have been there for many, many years. I thought you said you were going to rest after the intense hunting last weekend. WTG.

I really should have rested I think while digging thru the gravel I sprained my already sore ankle. :'(

I just couldn't stand looking at that new Fisher leaning against the wall knowing that I have yet to tame the beast :wink:

How can you beat this? Had it for one week? Looks like you and the F75 are getting along very well after such a short time. Makes me want to buy one. Any other comments about the machine from a new owner point of view?

Once you get passed the initial shock of the sounds it all starts making sense pretty quick. The more I run it the more I like it.

Thanks Nana how have you and Charlie been? Good to hear from you.
I hope this ankle feels better tomorrow or else it might pose a problem detecting :walk:

Great hunt with a Great Detector. I also use a Fisher F-75. I have been using mine for
over a year now and am still learning it. Wait till you start hunting in all metal. New ball game.

If your detector starts sounding really funny, lots of false signals, just turn it off, then flip and hold the
trigger forward, while pushing the red button in and turn on your detector at the same time. This will reset your detector and all will be well again.

Everytime you make a change on the detector it remembers it. Even when you shut it off and turn it back on. After awhile it will go crazy with all the different settings you have tried. That is a good time to reset your detector as I have mentioned above.

Good Luck with this fine detector.
