I don't know if my old nickels are getting up averaged by iron nearby but the last few old ones I've dug have came in like a clad dime. My buffalo yesterday was was low 70's.

Well, I went out yesterday for a quick hunt. Got a stomach virus so being away from the porcelain throne for a long time isn't a good idea. Git some new targets that popped up. The field I'm hunting is probably 10 acres and I've hunted it dozens of times. I'm certain my coil hasn't swiped it all yet. I'm happy with the tornado so far. Seems just as quiet as the stock DD coil. I was around some power lines and had DST off.
The 3 copper discs were pretty deep. The one was giving a one way signal and was the depth of my pinpointer. Had this been a thicker largie it would have rang in loud and clear no doubt. Also found a nice round ball under a tree we have hunted plenty of times and also where I found a KG2. Got a toasted nickel sized coin with no ID. I'm assuming it's a shield or v since it rang up like copper. I notice my older nickels come in high on the numbers.
Found some bullets and such as usual. I don't know what the flat copper blade shaped thing is. Maybe someone could ID that?
My thoughts on the coil are it is a copper magnet. It's even better than the stock coil on the copper. It is a little heavier than stock....but wayyy lighter than that thing fisher offered. AWESOME separation for a widescan coil from what I've seen so far. I'd love to see how it hits on silver too. So far so good. Glad I went with the tornado. Any bigger would be uncomfortable to swing for any period of time.
Oh, Also that buckle was from a previous hunt in the same field with stock 11" but not found last evening. View attachment 1511980
Great question truth!! I know you have to do it during a factory reset, I just forget what to click. My question is: do you see a benefit to turning DST off?So glad to hear your opinion on that coil. Also how do you turn on/off the DST?

Trigger forward red button pushed in.....power up. Turn dial to 9.0 on(left), 9.1 off(right).
I gain depth in low EMI areas if off. Deeper on in high interference. This morning I went out and noticed more depth being on along a power line once it got chatty. I'm telling you....this coil is a coin magnet.
I honestly don't get that. People always say its too much for a beginner when they're starting but after using other machines it is really one of the easier ones to navigate. I went from an f2 to the f75 and sure I had questions and what not....even got a little frustrated, heck I still do! It's just got a bunch of settings to make it user friendly and it has a learning curve like anything else. I know you know this I'm just typing what I'm thinking, lol!
I was getting a great deal so I agree with everything he said. Lol

The F75 seems to prefer a fast sweep. Has your sweep speed slowed down with the larger coil? Have you changed the process?View attachment 1514501
Having lots of fun with this coil. Unless it's super trashy it's staying on. These were from a spot I've been hitting hard. Dug up a dozen or so old buttons so I knew these were hiding in the mix somewhere!
