Hi
To those who have or have had experience with the two detector models in the title:
#1..How would you rate one to the other for easy operation ?
#2..Do you think the F11 could compete with the compadre 5.75 coil model ?
#3..How would you rate one to the other in terms of your personal success finding good stuff (Any targets on the list below.) ?
If you have comments that deal with issues other than questions #1, #2 and #3 feel free !
(a)..Copper Cents, like Wheaties, pre '82 and some post '82 coppers.
(b)..Silver coins and Jewelry.
(c)..Gold coins and Jewelry.
(d)..Precious metal finds other than silver and gold.
See Specifications, etc. Below
Thanks for your input !
