I just got a brand new f75 SE black edition. Today I took it out for my 4th hunt using it.
Went to a school playground , the kind filled with brown pea gravel. The problem I am noticing is the pinpoint depth is way off. Coins 1-2 inches deep will pinpoint at 5 inches or more. I found several coins today all 2 inches or less in the gravel and every one of them pinpointed at 5 inches or more. I even rolled over a shallow zinc penny that gave me the double beep which means it's on the surface or extremely shallow. It pinpointed at 5 inches. All 4 hunts and 4 different locations this machine has acted this way. Also the vdi doesn't lock on like it should on these really shallow targets. My f70 will lock on and rarely move on shallow targets. My f75 is a lot more jumpy. Also the audio is not as clean ,loud ,and crisp as it is on the f70 on these shallow coins. I have not seen it pinpoint anything at less than 5 inches yet. Today's settings were factory default. Machine has been reset several times. Using the 11 inch DD factory coil. Baterries are brand new alkaline. Does anybody have any experience like this ? Could I have a faulty coil ?
