F75 learning curve

OldJerseyGirl · Feb 7, 2015

I am thinking about getting the F75, but need to know how easy it is to learn. I hate to learn a new detector, but see that it is light and deep. It took me a while to learn the AT Pro and I was not happy with it at first. I have learned to love it but it is heavy for me.
No fun being old.

This is the J.W. Fisher forum for PI's. You will get the F75 guys in the Fisher Labs forum.

Aside from the wrong forum - the F-75 is a relatively easy detector to use if you leave it at the factory defaults - and it is easy to "undo" everything and get back to defaults.

Just be aware that bit's not the lightest machine. 3.5 lbs. I can swing a 2.5 and 2.9lb all day, everyday, but 3.5 lbs takes some getting used to. I have a homemade harness that makes the weight neutral and now I just swing it left & right.

The f75 is very easy to learn. I am a coin shooter and mainly hunt in PF mode, disc out 1-25 (iron & foil). select a quiet frequency (7 frequencies to choose from). If I swing over an iffy repeatable signal I switch to boost mode to get a better VDI. I also hunt in 4H tone. You can start hunting in the default mode without any issues. This thing still goes deep even if you are running 60-65% sensitivity. I highly recommend that you get one that is new or an older model that was upgraded with the DST mod.

I just receive a new F75 Special Edition on last night - however I had down loaded the owner's manual and have read it several times - watched videos and read on forums & different sites how people like to set them up. Seems to be very little learning curve for me. The F75 is a real beast in the bP (Boost Process) mode. I will have my first outing this week end. I say buy it and learn it - I buy MD's made in America!!! I bought mine from Metal Deting Stuff - made me a deal I could not pass on.
