Wonderful. THIS is how detecting videos should be. Show us your settings, show us your readings, let us watch the digs. Gratefully appreciate the ongoing tips throughout, also. Newbie detectorist so I'm an avid info junkie. Picked up an F75 last spring. Detector without the upgrades seemed horrible at handling EMI. Got the megabuck upgrade package and it almost completely eliminated the EMI issues, as well as putting some more gusto into the detector. Well worth the money. Saw the size of your digger and initially winced. Most guys I've seen use a blade-type tool or just a plain screwdriver in parks. Gotta admit, though, that your plugs look great and you simply cruise right along.
I picked up an F75 in July 2015. This is one of the best hands on vids on youtube that I have seen on hunting with it. I have heard that a concentric coil will help eliminate the false highs on those bottle caps. They have fooled me to no end with the DD coils on this machine. Thanks for the post, and HH
I just read a article which promoted running high sensititvity in trashy areas. Promotes proper ID and audio response in multi tone modes/// Makes sense actually...
I've come to love the DP mode.. At first I hated it but once you get used to the wide range of beeps it's quite helpful in finding and identifying good targets...
Always run max sensitivity. Lowering it only removes depth detection. Test and verify at 99 then lower it and watch how fast it drops depth. If you hit 0 it almost can’t detect it no matter how close. It also gives more accurate reading numbers on deep objects.
If you didn’t know the boost mode and cache mode transfers over to all metal mode and enhances its performance. It’s says so in the users manual and I asked Kelly Co. You don’t need to swing slow in boost mode using all metal mode but you do need to sweep slow using cache mode when you’re in all metal mode. Just set discrimination mode side first then switch over to all metal mode and it almost doubles all metal mode performance. Other settings like default or fast mode or jewelry doesn’t transfer over to enhance all metal mode. This information is on page 22 and 23 of the users manual. As you start to read each discrimination mode. You’ll noticed boost process cache locating process at the bottom of the paragraph says... when the boost mode is selected the response characteristics of the all metal mode are also modified (meaning boosted or enhanced) these characters include less noise and slow response speed. Because now its searching ultra deep and so it responds a little slow. You don’t need to sweep slow in boost mode but you do when you use cache mode. Regardless if you are using them on discrimination side and/or on all metal mode. If you select one of these options and go back to all metal mode they are enhanced if you use any other setting like default or bottlecap or jewelry then it goes back to lower performance or default. Also if you haven’t upgraded to larger 15” inch fisher coil you should. I purchased the larger 15” inch fisher coil for my F75 LTD SE and I can hit quarters over 20” inches deep! Man hole cover or 55 gallon drum jumps from 2 meters on or 6 feet on stock 11” inch coil... However the larger 15” inch fisher coil will hit same amount of metal over three meters or 10 feet deep! So if you haven’t then you should upgrade the coil.

Got a chuckle at all the comments below telling you how to use your machine! Too funny!

I traded my F75 for a beep and dig machine, and really regret it now. Will be keeping my eye open for one now.

I'm loving my F75. don't care how old the platform is. I'm going to buy another one to swing after this one croaks. ain't broke, don't fix it.

A 59 58 signal is no where near a nickel.. A nickel will be around 30 on the F75 all day long.. I knew it was a zinc penny before you pulled it....
thank you for the tips great video
The F-75 has strange Discriminating as 75 % of the jewelry falls in The Foil Range
