Another day at the park.

[Truth]

Got another one with the F75 Ltd. Got another 3 ringer I thought it was a star but it’s just extra lead in the bottom. I got my 4th neckerchief first one in blue, a beautiful little piece of jewelry (I think) and some pieces of lead. The only reason why I showed the lead was I worked hard for them they were under roots.

I wish I’d got more for 7hr Hunt. I will pull a silver coin (not a war nickel) out this park if it kills me. Thank goodness I discovered high of 3 ringers. I’m grateful though. Learning my machines will payoff in the long run.

Ya gotta love that park Truth. Congrats on another 3 ringer. The scout item is a Webelos neckerchief slide.

Congratulations on a very good variety of finds! Good luck on your return!

Congrats on the slide, the 3 ringer, and the cherubic brooch.

Loco I had to bust of the F75 I’ve been neglecting her with the newbie. I can wait to master that machine because it is a beast I just have to learn how to control that sucka. What’s your go to setting program?

Took me 4 hours to find that 3 ringer and another 3 trying to find another one.

I usually run disk 1 thru 9, in town I run 65-75 sensitivity and up to 90 in rural areas, no notch, 3 tone in trashy areas and 3H in less trashy sites. My main coil has been the nel sharpshooter, but have used all four coil in the past 2 weeks while hunting a 1900 permission. Dug a lot of clad, and a wheat using the sharpshooter. My last hunt there I finally pulled a 49 rosie using the stock coil. Must of been my swing angle that helped hitting that coin because I gridded this area using the sharpshooter a week earlier. I mainly use FA or DE processes depending on target density. I have been lucky to have carte blanche at many permissions, where I can grid it in multiple directions using many coils over time. The reality I face here in my area is that people have been detecting since the 1970's so most of the easy stuff is gone, yet I do run into a virgin yard occasionally. Most of my last keepers have come from trashy areas of permissions that were hit by others in the past. You seem to be doing great using each of your machines. I tend to concentrate on one detector, but my 3 land machines are all fishers and they are easy to swap since they all give similar target IDs. I dig most everything with a solid or tight target ID (within 3 digits i.e. 41-43) sweeping over in 2 directions.

So you use the small round coil? Do you get good depth. I’m trying to go deep in this park which is very old since I haven’t gotten any silver obviously all these this stuff is gone and I’m left with V nickels which I’m not really complaining BUT I need that silver in my life so I’m trying to use the large coil but I’m not sure if some of the trash is blocking me from getting that deep signal with the large coil. I’m going to be working on some deals all night and then I’m planning on going back tomorrow.

That's quite the selection YOU have there. That park has been good to you. Way to go...!! Still up in VA myself...heading to warmer climate soon..

It’s in the 40’s early in the morning then 68-72 by noon. Our typical winters

In a place like that the standard DD coil can be advantageous.
Even in extreme iron and trash if you move the coil slow you can still pick out the good stuff.

Have you tried all metal yet, my go-to setting when it counts and I want to hit as many layers as possible because that coil can still pick up targets right next to trash and iron extremely well.

I only use one set of settings in all metal and it has done very well for me in all kinds of soil and all kinds of trash and iron infested sites.

AM, sense at 99, thresh at +9.
Surprisingly quiet even in high EMI sites but there will be a bit of jumping if only because you will be picking up every piece of metal in the ground from shallow to deep and the tones and numbers could pass by fast in busy sites.
It takes some practice to learn to notice the better more stable range of numbers but like always if this thing is swinging over metal, especially something good, any falsing will stop and it will tell you if just for a second.
Here in the SE. I have gotten very deep up to 8-9" despite my mineralized soil on coins, in the better black soil out west easily down to the 10-12" on targets even the 14-15" range on a few.
With these high settings I usually get screen data on most targets even the deepest ones.
With lower settings the audio will be there but the screen usually goes blank on the deeper ones at the outer ranges of the depth of the coil at 12"+.

I learned to use these settings slowly over time, you need to watch the screen, listen closely and train your brain to deal with them because they aren't natural.
First just a few minutes on several hunts before switching back to disc then longer and longer as I hunted on every outing.
Enough time passed by until one day I realized I could stay in these settings as long as I wanted to and now they are effortless and easy to deal with and sometimes I just stay with them for hours all day on hunts.
To outsiders this is a crazy way to hunt, I once showed a friend with an E Trac what was happening on the screen and in the audio while using these settings and he was shocked...couldn't see how I could pick out anything at all it was so alien to him.
Then again he knew they worked well for me because he saw what I could find when we hunted together and the depth I found them at, even more important were the many older shallow targets that seem to be in the 5-6" area that were severely masked in areas he had just gone over and missed which did not please him at all.

Using these settings even my 5"DD coil and the Nel Sharpshooter can get shockingly deep.
It is probably easier to learn this method with smaller coils, anyway.

As a matter of fact digger I was in AM today? I can go slow and low with the Max, but I always heard you have to swing faster with the F75 or you may miss a target. So tomorrow I will use AM with the stock coil. I had to admit this but I never really understood “threshold” and what is does. Maybe I should investigate that. Lol What machine do you use? This park is old 1850’s but I can find a silver to save my soul. It’s a 1300 acre park there’s has to be one out the. I bought the F75 Ltd with the ultimate coil to go deep but I never get a CLEAR DEEP high signal. And it’s driving me nuts I’m obsessed with find some silver at this park it would be something special. Just so many pull tabs and beer bottle caps...I mean it is New Orleans lol
