I found one like that years ago,, I kept it in the shop for a couple of years.
Then one day, I was cleaning out the shop, and tossed it out..
I later saw one posted on a forum, and found out it was old...
Hang on to yours..

Aaron,
You got that right, about the F-75 with boost and 5" coil...
I had a CZ 3 d when they first came out, sent it back
to the old Fisher,, the tech tuned it..It was the deepest
unit that I had ever used with a 5" coil...In my soil, it would
hit 8" and 9" coins in a friends test garden, and the ID was spot on.
Our soil ground balanced from 4,5 to 6.5,, but in a trashy

I know the Boost makes the 75 deeper,, But what does it Boost ???
Does it make the 5" foot print bigger, like say a 8" coil ???
Is the 4x6 a good or weak coil,, I have had 2 people say its a weak coil ???
What are the GB numbers in FL. ???
Here, mine are high 50's to low 60's....
Thanks...

Hi Tom,
I wonder on the F-75 ltd,, and is it best to run with BP on
and turn the Sens down to make the unit stable ??
Than to turn boost off and raise the Sens ??

Keith,
I would like to thank you for your post,, love reading your posts..
I took your advice and bought the AT pro with the stock coil and the 5x8 coil and have been using it since Feb...
I found my first Walking Liberty half in March with the AT pro and 5 x 8 coil.....It read a 99 in the ground and like 92 or 93 out of the ground.
This is one of them units that I clicked with....
Like you,

Joe,
Garrett has a lot of videos on there site,
I think there may be a special going on now, the AT pro with 2 coils.....
To me, the 5x8 is a must....
Good luck.

I have had all the MXT's, MXT,MXT 300 and the MXT pro and now have a AT Pro... I have only used the AT pro with the 5x8" dd coil.
I did not like the stock AT pro head phones,, so I got the adptor cable, so I could use my Uni Probe head phones....
If I was going to water hunt, I would get the Blue head phones, there water proof,,but no Vol. con.
I have heard that some cut foam and put

Well,, another friend, several yrs ago had a test garden with 8" silver dime, nickel,silver quarter, and at 9" a JFK half....
My CZ 3d with the 5" coil would hit every target and give the right ID and high tone...GB was around 5.
The GB at Steve's house was like 7......

CZ 3d with the 5",,8",,and 10.5" coil.

I would add,,,,the CZ 3d with the 8" coil did get the depth right in PP mode, except for the coins ove 8" deep, then the meter was pegged.
The gb was around 7,, but at 1,5, or 10, it did not seem to make any difference...
Also with my Omega 8000 with the 11"dd coil, the ground reading was 51 to 53.. The Omega did its best with disc a 1, sens at 99 and one tone....

Tell me if I am wrong,,,but they droped some stuff when they went from the SE to the E-Trac right ??
Several XS's,Several Explorer ll's 2 E-Tracs,1 SE and now use the SE Pro....
On the E-Trac, if i remember right the Ferrous sounds were different sounding and could not be ajusted to the same high pitch like in Con.,,,right ????
Also the SE in Pin Point mode still showed the depth and

I love my 3 CZ's but, I hunt with somone that only has CZ's, I try to keep something the will not interfer with a CZ for those small places that we hunt.
We did a little test and found that when you don't hear them talking, your still loosing depth.
What have you found that plays well with a CZ ???
I use the 5" coil 90 % of the time, a small coil is a must.
