Fisher metal detector reviews

The F-5 is the first metal detector I have ever purchased. New to the hobby. I did a fairly good amount of research before chosing this detector. It is more than I expected. I am totally pleased with this product.

The next purchase will probably be my son for the Gold Bug II. If not him, then me.

Thank you for a super product.

Sincerely,

In 1985 a friend and myself were hunting a civil war camp, he was using a Fisher [ can’t remember which model ] I was using a different brand. We both found a lot of relics. As time went by he was finding a lot more than I was. On one of our last hunts we were walking and he got a signal, it was loud an clear, I said let me see if I can hear it with my unit, needless to say I got nothing not even a click. I’ve been using Fishers ever since.

I’m the proud owner of a 1266—1270—F75—F75LTD.

OK, short and sweet, here’s what I have to say about the F75 LTD. With a special thank you to Dave Johnson, John Gardiner and everyone else who had a hand in this amazing detector:

The F75 Ltd is the first detector I've owned that was a MAJOR improvement over what I had before, although I never had the original F75.

I'm no high roller, and I agonized long and hard over whether to put out the $ for the LTD. Now that I have I can tell you I have absolutely no regrets.

All the talk you hear about not that much difference in detecting capability between different models, I used to believe it.

I know better now.

I just had to send you an email to say thanks for all your input. I really enjoy reading your insights to the LTD and what fisher is up to. Really looking forward to what the future holds!

I also had to tell you how super pleased I am with the LTD. I really like the F75, but this machine is what I've been looking for! I am finding alot of stuff with it and will post pictures in a couple of weeks. We found an old ball park and have found literally dozens of silver coins and hundreds of wheat cents. I've really taken the time to learn this machine and man is it hot! In my dirt, I run it in BP, 21 disc and sensitivity around 50 and it runs silent, but bangs loud and clear up to a foot deep on good targets and even nickels. I did learn that the amount of sensitivity makes a huge difference, because if the sensitivity is too high I think it reflects from the ground back to the machine and actually reduces the sensitivity. I've played around with it allot and for my ground 50 is where the coins ring the loudest and deepest. I've also played around with CL a bit and it gets and additional 2-3" nice and clear. Just takes a little getting used to as it takes a moment to reset, so I don't swing it too fast. I usually use it to confirm something that I've found in BP.

I have also switched to DE from both boost modes and there really is a big difference. I found a nice 1926 standing liberty quarter the other night that was at least 8" deep and in DE is was a barely audible "dit dit", but in BP is was stronger and clearer and in CL it was loud and solid.

So, long story short I just wanted to give my personal thanks to you and the folks at Fisher for making a killer machine. I will post pictures when I get the time.

Keep up the good work!

Dear Fisher,

Once again “Thank you” and all involved in the repair department. I appreciate your good work & prompt return. My Gold Bug II – I miss when not with me. I continue to promote G.B.II to all interested in prospecting; it has found gold for me. I will buy a G.B.III should one be made.

I was at the last Diggin' in Va relic hunt (28 Oct-1 Nov) and attended a clinic hosted by Kim Cox. As part of that I received a Fisher hat, and wanted to thank you for that and for your sponsorship. I am a fairly new owner of an F75, and am very please with my purchase. I'm telling all my friends about it, and encouraging them to consider one for themselves. Based on my finds at "hunted out" sites, I won't have to do too much convincing. Again, thanks for your support.

I'm a true believer in the F75 and I want everyone to know just how good the machine is. I've had a Garrett and two Tesoro's in the past and can say the F75 will beat anything out there when it comes to finding lost items. The guys I hunt with think I some kind of super treasure hunter because I don't mind hunting behind them, but I've explained to them it's mostly the F75 capabilities.

Subject: You guys are the best!

First, thanks to Felix for the outstanding repair and fast return shipping on my F4. Long story short - Since I lost my F4 due to failure, I purchased a competitors detector (White's M6) for a backup and I hated it. I won't blast another brand but let me say, I 'grew up' using their products and was highly disappointed in the last 2 detectors from them. I will never buy another one. It seems no matter how much you spend, they always recommend the 'next step up' - $700 is a lot of money and I should have been satisfied.

I sent the M6 on it's way and bought a brand new F5 as a main machine and relegated the F4 to a backup.

This F5 is amazing. My first find was a '62 Rosie dime at a newer church across the street from me.

Today I went back to a spot where I found a nice Mercury dime about a year ago. I've returned there a few times with other machines and found nothing more - until I took my new F5 and started pulling silver from the nasty, garbage filled ground.

Love this F5! Lemme tell ya, I am CONVERTED. Until "W" and the other manufacturers can produce a machine that is as well behaved, affordable and powerful as the Fishers, I will never, ever consider another brand.

Great job on the F5 and keep up the good work. This hobby has provided me with an immense amount of pleasure and the Fisher detectors only make it that much more pleasurable.

Let me know if you're hiring - I'd LOVE to move to Texas and work for you guys!

Thanks again-

I am writing to thank you for creating the best metal detector I've owned and used to date... the Fisher F-75 Limited. I purchased one on October 17, 2009. THIS MACHINE IS AMAZING!

Assembling the machine was very easy; the instructions were clear and simple to follow. Right away, I was impressed with the look and feel of the detector. Reading the manual, I was confident I could quickly learn to use the F-75 Limited.

My wife and I primarily search for revolutionary and civil war relics. We live in Virginia and are fortunate to have permission to hunt several private properties producing great relic finds. In addition to the new F-75 Limited, we own two Fisher CZ-5 detectors, one which replaced an old Fisher 1266.

As soon as the F-75 Limited was assembled, we drove to a site hunted for several years with the Fisher CZ-5's. Lately, it had become quite difficult to find anything and we were beginning to think the site was "hunted out". We were definitely wrong about that! Ground balancing the new detector was simple; there was thick ground cover, so I tried the "boost process" with a few tweaks elsewhere. The F-75 Limited detected many relics in just a short time at this site. In less than one hour, I dug civil war-era bullets and buttons at 14 and 15 inches deep. I could not believe the ease of use, depth and accuracy provided by the F-75 Limited.

Thank you for continuing to produce quality products, and especially, the F-75 Limited. Your dedication and great products have enriched our lives with hours of fun and excitement. Great job on the Fisher F-75 Limited!
