A good day for me is some colonial copper.No problems from my end. I have no issue at all with you. I can tell you really have the detecting fever.
I am not saying this to bash you at all, but it does seem (to me anyways) that you really exaggerated your claims of finding gold and the safe in the yard. That was my only issue and I called you on it. Nothing personal. I'll probably do it in the future too
Now go out there and find some good stuff with your F75 and post it for us to drool over. I'll try to do the same as soon as I can get out.
Good luck and HH
BTW, I wanted to see pics because I love looking at pics of others nice finds.
All this gold talk makes me wish I found more over the years! I mainly hunt cellar holes so gold is a VERY rare find, I have a few cheap gold rings I found when I occasionally hunted parks but in 25 years of detecting I have almost NO gold, I think my main issue back then is I passed up a lot of pull tab readings.
...the vdi's are going to jump more. Hunt by tone first and dig the lower ones...
Notice all the comments from CTX users hinting at no other machine being able to find the things the CTX finds... Let's get back on point then...using a F75...gold will vdi as low as 22 for a thin light ladies 10K ring...up to the low 60's for a large fat low K school ring...the key to finding them is...most...rings give a solid tone and a steady vdi that doesn't waver more than a # or 2 on repeated passes. With chains, bracelets, earrings...and War nickels of all things

I was actually impressed with the 6in elliptical coil on the F75, I posted a video on here awhile back of me doing an air test on a tiny gold/diamong stud for another forum member and the depth was not too shabby at all for such a tiny item. It did much better than the stock 11in dd coil and better than my Explorer with stock dd.It's the attitude of the CTX guys that make me bash it, thinking it's the deepest detector under the sun. They always overlook the fact that it has numerous leaking, screen dying, and coils dying problems... or say its just a small problem...
If you check the beach hunting forum, you will see a side by side test where the $800 Sovereign gets better depth than the $2,000 CTX... good luck justifying your $2,000 purchase after that one...

Too many people fell hook line and sinker for the Minelab marketing tactics...
