Hi
I been using the Fisher F5 for 1 year. I don't seem to get much depth with this detector, about 3 to 4 inches.
Can anyone help on this problem.

Just received my F5 with a DD11... I'll need to bring a good shovel!
Just did two test run with it and I detected some pepsi cans at more then 10 inches in dry clay... Found some modern coins between 3 and 8 inches... Even got my second silver ring... about four inches.
Those targets wheren't found with my BH 1100 nor my 2200...

I can get 5-7 inches on most coins when the ground balance , Gain and threshold are set correctly.Originally Posted by Mr Magoo link=topic=4879.msg58278#msg58278 date=1300227726
Put the gain at 70, ground balance as the manual suggests, and then set the threshold to -2 or -3.
You should be able to detect a dime up to 5 inches deep---possibly deeper, depending on the ground conditions.

Might I suggest that you air test some of your Canadian coins, ( try a few different years of each denomination) so you get a better idea of what number range each will show on the screen.Originally Posted by Celluforce link=topic=4879.msg119131#msg119131 date=1344176087
When I first got my F5 I made a cheat sheet with coin type and number ID) and it helped me learn what to look for.
I use the D4 tone because it has a separate high tone for the US nickle range that is higher pitch than a pulltab.
Also--If you have some Canadian coins from the 1960's and before, you can air test those to see where they show on the screen.
