I recently picked up a F-75 and decided to try it out. I took it out twice to my detector proving grounds. Any day that I come home with one keeper is a good day here. This place is large but has been hunted for many years, by many people including me.
Heres todays take of keepers, a 1903-s Barber half dollar, 1919 Buffalo nickel, 1892 V nickel, and 1924 Mercury dime. The two nickels were found right next to the half dollar. These three coins had a piece of scrap wire in between them. The Mercury dime had a large nail within three inches of it. I was hunting with discrimination and notch on 16. 16 is the lowest number I saw on the 1892 V nickel. It bounced from mid 20's to 16.
The previous hunt I hunted in all metal, this mode is very deep and very stable. This detector also loves lead and brass. I got a few friction primers, from 7 to 8 inches deep. Some old brass rifle cartridges, a .22 caliber bullet from around 6 inches a small lead seal. A 1911 wheat penny that was sitting at a sharp angle at around 6 inches. A 1951 Roosevelt dime and two turn of the century uniform cuff buttons from 7 to 8 inches deep.
