Maybe I'm a little confused.....but I thought that the F75 got a "boost" after disc 25? That's why I was running my rig at disc 25, sens 75. And in that disc range it would cut back on the chatter and I would be hunting deep coins only? Is it the JE mode that's causing all the jumpiness (which I thought would also give it a boost?)in a highly mineralized soil?

All,
My research has been going well. Not only did I score a 1910 house from this realtor that I contacted but he has given me permission to play around in the yards of 3 others. An 1890 and two 1920's houses. I went and explored the 1890's house this weekend for a couple of hours.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this subject.
My method has been to look on line and find homes that are vacant, and older than 50 years old. That's been my cut off.

This question is for everyone.
I've been looking on line for older homes (50+ yrs.) that are for sale and vacant, then calling the realtor and asking for permission to hunt on the property. I seem to have a pretty good success rate on getting on the property. But I was wondering what other methods were being employed for gaining access to these older home/business sites. Thanks!!!
