Fisher F2
Fisher F2 Metal Detector is easy to get acquainted with. It is simple to assemble and uses two (2) Alkaline 9 volt batteries. The F2 comes with a ¼ inch headphone jack conveniently located on the left side of the detector. Operating controls are as follows: Sensitivity control, Discrimination control, Pinpoint control, and Notch control. A four (4) Tone Audio System helps to identify targets along with a Depth and Target display. On the control housing you will see both a two (2) digit display and a target category readout on the top showing items from iron/foil to nickels, to dimes, quarters, etc. An arrow will illuminate under the target category and a two digit number will show specific target value that helps you identify your target. Together with the tone and digital readout this is a great detector to use and it is light enough swing all day!The detector comes with an eight (8) inch open type coil and a 4 ½ inch coil with an extra bottom rod. The smaller coil is excellent when working those tight or trashy areas and from what I’ve used it and it does get excellent depth.
After you have found a target and identified it you can use the pinpoint mode to isolate its location. Press and hold the Pinpoint to activate this feature. This is a static detection; no coil motion is required to detect when pinpoint is depressed.
The Notch feature is one I especially like. This control allows you to selectively include or exclude target categories from detection. The manual is pretty good at describing how this works. By using the notch and discrimination controls you may program any combination of detected and eliminated target categories. This takes some practice but is very helpful when you find yourself working an area with junk items sometimes.
My experience with this detector has been nothing but pure delight. Now I find myself using it more than the more expensive one I own. Depth and sensitivity is equal to detectors costing hundreds more. I have to give this Fisher F2 a rating of five stars. It is excellent in all areas I feel.

The F-2's Great Detector!
Since the weather has been pretty crummy here in Oklahoma I still managed to get out to the yard and try out the new F-2.I have been using the 4" coil and turning the sensitivity down to the 2nd and 3rd bars. It is a pretty deep shooting machine. I don't mind digging a lot so I usually use very little discrimination. I dug a flattened twist cap at about 7".I had to dig through dirt, sandy loam, limestone, and sand to get to it. I think it will be good on all types of ground where ever your at, and for the price you can't go wrong. I have owned other more expensive detectors in the past, and I rate this one as very good! My hats off to Fisher!!Average rating:5.0 based on 2 reviews
