[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 93262, member: 2152"] It's the concept that gets hard to explain but Goldpick is spot on, falsing because of winding it out to max won't help go "deeper" best to hunt with stability on your machine. I GB to a slight negative and adjust the threshold till it just crisp and virtually a single solid sound, anything just out of reach on that sensitivity will create a muted threshold, a drop out that by taking off an inch or so will likely produce a target response. I have gone back over areas I've hunted out and maxed it up a couple of different ways but using the explained method above is rare to get much more. If you want depth you will need a bigger coil or take a bit of the top layer, colder conditions, less Emi, or better headphones. My f75 will be no different to your machine it has more "grunt" than be comfortably and reliably used and if cranking the sensitivity up it will quickly reach the point it will become unusable. Also securing your cabling within an inch of its life is best I've found but for due diligence just check the connection between your coil and cable, but more likely is just running too "hot". Put a couple targets in the ground at different depths and play with the sensitivity and threshold, you will be surprised what the best settings are for the greatest depth. [/QUOTE]
