fisher f75 ltd HELP PLEASE!

A little late here but this is my experience and gold is what I have made my mission in life to find.
In 3.5 years these are all the gold targets I have located and dug, the bulk of them in the last 2 years after I figured out a few things about where gold actually shows up and where the best places to find them seem to be.
Lots of these have come from super trashy sites like around basketball courts and the easiest and best way to find these in those type of sites is by using snipers because masking is a bigger problem than most realize.
Others were found all over the place in public park areas, sometimes in trash and sometimes in less trashy and wide open areas.

The bulk of these were found with my F2 but my Vaquero and Compadre have also found their share of this collection.

All of these VDI numbers came from air testing on the F2 and some were in the ground numbers which could be slightly different from air testing.
The F2 and your F75 should be close on those VDI numbers.

This is how these 25 targets break down...

7 Foil...all ranges

9 Nickel...all ranges

2 Tab...One low, One high

5 Lower Zinc...Large rings

1 Iron...a small clasp on a very thin chain

1 Rolled Gold Pocket watch...91 half dollar

Do not think that gold only shows up at nickel or tabs.
That is the most common areas because of the most common size's lost but the big stuff is usually at lower zinc and I found 7 from just below nickel in foil all the way down to lower foil in exactly the same area and numbers where those sports drink insert caps and gum wrappers come in.
White gold is an alloy and that can easily come in way below areas of purer 10k or 14k rings of the same size.
The smallest and thinnest chain I have ever seen came in as iron and only the tiny clasp could be seen...not the chain.

Just about every piece of gold I have ever found came in as trash, solid signals but in areas and numbers that are trash for me about 100% of the time.
Even the nickel and zinc number rings were not at numbers that I usually find nickels or zinc pennies but usually some sort of trash instead.

I dig all solid signals no matter where they come in from way low to way high.
Since I began doing that most of these gold targets came out of the ground for me.
No mystery here or magic, just targeting the right sites and having the mindset to dig as much solid signal trash that I can and digging lots of other trash to get it out of the way in case of masking issues.

Hey Digger,
That picture is about the best guide I have come across. I have been trusting on some past recommendations on gold around the 32-35 range, but have come to realize that working the foil is just what you got to do. Not all gold rings are large. In fact most women's rings are small and 14 to 18 kt, so will ring in the 22-24 range. Granted, I won't ever deny a 33-36 signal, even if it proves to be a beer can shard.

I might be the only person you know that gets more excited by a solid trash signal than a high tone coin signal.
I have dug a boat load of trash looking for gold, but I have found enough gold considering all that trash I dig that makes it worth it for me...not for everybody, however, but for me...definitely.
Foil, tabs nickel and zinc areas that usually not nickels or zincolns...I dig them all because even though gold is rare and 98% of the time I will find trash, the 2% of the time I do find something else yellow and shiny works for me in that kind of numbers game.

When I come across a super trash heavy site like the area around old basketball courts, sites that I know would make most other hunters head for the hills and easier and greener pastures, I kinda start to drool a little because I know what might be there waiting for a hunter with the right tools, the right experience and the right frame of mind to find.

Great post! Gotta go slow in those areas. Lots of goodies!

Ok I have some questions. I just got a F75 camo. What I live in NC. Anyone have any good setting I could try out? Or... what a really good setting to setup with? 2 tone or more tones? Default or BC or JE?

Thank You Thank You

The F75 has a lot of horsepower. Initially, run it 55-65 max on sensitivity. I run mine boost process, disc at 20, and I like 4H tones.
