Fisher F22

[jsternad0477]

Was looking to pick up one of the Fisher F22 Detectors from Kellyco and wondered if anyone on the Forum has had the opportunity to use one. Originally I was looking at getting the Garret ACE250, but was told the Fisher would be the better detector for the money.... Only detectors that I have ever owned in the past were Bounty Hunter. I plan on just using it in the dry sand at South Beach since I've done a little research and the parks in Miami-Dade County have a "no metal detector" stance..... Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to TreasureNet. Looks like a good choice. I've been using the 250 for three years and, while no complaints, the rainproof feature of the f22 would have saved my ___ last November when I accidentally left my 250 outside in a downpour. OOPS.

Thanks Kenstein! I was just thinking that as in Florida rain just happens and I could see myself getting caught in it.......

I have the F44 and love it.

You will be fine as long as you stay in the dry sand. The wet sand will make it chatter. The adjustable iron audio is a great feature.

A regular plastic sandwich bag (cheapest ones) stretches perfectly around the unit. I used mine in all weather conditions, never an issue.

The ace250 is a nice little detector but very slow recovery. Definitely go Fisher

I just bought an F22. I have no experience detecting, but it is intuitive to use with a lot of nice features. I have found many things so far (2 days) and really like it. I have used it in the rain with no problems.
