Hey all,
like a few others here = I'm just getting out with my new FR machine as the weather has finally broke/allowed for some diggin/testing!
This is/was basically 1st run with the machine so I didn't cover a lot in regards to the machine itself in the video but I must say that so far I'm certainly impressed with what I've seen this far. It's sort of a FG+ machine but with the added features makes it a bit different too = it pushes into a league of its own for sure. The iron vol control is a welcome added feature for sure. The machine runs just as hot/if not hotter than the FG+ but you don't end up fatigued from hearing all the iron full blast like with the FG+
As stated in the vid = I ran it in Di2, sense at about 80/81, IDmask 3, Imask 0, iron vol 3, Tone break 10 for a bit but once I ventured into the site where the heavy iron/trash is = it didn't/doesn't seem to allow for that much power which I feel is better suited for a bit cleaner of a site where you can actually get some depth in running at that level so I switched to Di3 (3 tone), cranked sens max 99, dropped tone break to 32 (runs on a different scale than in Di2) and everything else the same as above and that's when the site started to come alive/finds started popping out amongst the iron/trash. Now - this isn't to say that running in Di2 in this site (or one like it with a lot of iron/trash) wouldn't produce finds but it just seems that it's way more power than needed for sifting and that the Di3 mode took a lot of the guesswork out of it.
Also as stated in the vid = I've ran 4/5 different machines in this site as well as my buddy using his ATP in it a few times so it's been hunted pretty well over the last year and a 1/2 but as you can see = the FR pulled a ton of stuff missed by all the other machines mentioned in the vid! I love the little 5" coil - it's deadly accurate and has an extremely tight pattern. You can literally stand in 1 place for 3 or 4 minutes in high trash/iron an pick several targets out without even moving an inch
Anyway = I'll let the vid speak it's piece and go from there
