F75 LTD/SE in All Metals Mode...Anyone do it?

I've heard over and over that the F75 is crazy deep in the all metals mode, especially the static all metals mode and even more so with the LTD/SE in BP mode.

I've tried hunting in these modes and the noise is crazy. Does anyone routinely hunt in AM mode on the F75, if so what kind of hunting are you doing?

I can imagine with the new 15" DD coil coming next month that AM mode should be ultra deep.

Brian,

In my type of hunting......I have never found application for the All Metal mode.

I relic hunt in NW Georgia and run my F75 LTD in all metal. Mineralization is moderate to bad in this area and can change every 10 yards at some of my spots. My settings are BP, static all metal, usually 90 sens. Compared to my Explorer SE and Safari the LTD is not very noisey at all (by the way, I think the Safari is a better relic hunter than the Explorer, just my opinion.) I've used mostly Fishers over the past 33 years but have tried a couple of Garret Deepseekers,would not handle the ground,.... Nautilus DMCII, same results,.....Whites 4900 was a pretty good machine,....Minelab Exterra 50, very good and deep,... Safari, very deep but noisey in a.m., same with the Explorer SE. A little iron mask or disc will quieten down a FBS machine but you need to learn to work through the null at times. The worse by far was the Fisher 1266x, I could never relate to that chatter box.

All that being said, I assume you are asking about ground noise and not nails, etc. If I get into a bunch of nails I deal with it and watch the display screen.

I cant run the LTD in boost all metal. Gets kinda crazy hunting like that here.

Static AM in BP mode, that's full tilt! What kind of depth are you getting with that setup compared to similar settings in disc mode on the LTD in BP mode?

Thanks!
Brian

Sorry, I meant MOTION all metal........ooops!!!! I've checked deeper signals in disc and get a positive response, but some may not stop me in my tracks. Been digging minie balls @ 10+ inches, but most good machines will do that.
