Fisher F75 SE Detector

[ctdigger01]

I want to know is the Fisher F75 really that good? depth past 12"? Locks on coins and gold? Worth the $1200+?
Thanks for the info.

You must be referring to the F75 LTD. The price was reduced to $799 and comes with 2 coils from Kellyco. I bought mine used back in 2014 and has been my go to machine ever since. I rarely use the boost process, but it's nice to have it just in case.

The F-75 is a very good detector...depth past 12" depends on size of target.
Locks on coins and gold.... yes on the coins but not at 12" more like 6"-9" size of coin... Gold is hard to just lock in on... that pull tabs and so many other targets in the Gold range.
Some models might retail at $1200.00 or higher... but you can get them much cheaper....CALL a couple of our supporting vendors and see the real price.

My deepest coin detected was a large silver at 10 to 10.5 inches. I have had good signals and Target IDs for IHCs and copper pennies as deep as 9 to 9.5 inches. My deepest target dug was a piece of lead pipe dug at 14 inches.

The Fisher F75 SE (what I bought in 2007 when they were first introduced) should be available cheap if one has been kicking around for 10 years unsold.

The most recent version - the F75 LTD2 (I believe) is going for $799 most places. That has Boost and Cache that the original lacks and added EMI shielding. I sent mine back to the factory for the upgrade - which was nice of Fisher to offer but NOT free at $309.

For $799 it is a great detector. I paid $949 as I recall - but the dealer threw in DetectorPro headphones and a coil cover.

I dug a 3/16" x 1" piece of aluminum wire at a measured 16". And I have pulled dimes from 10".

I own an MXT and have dug along side a buddy with an F75 LTD.
I will say the F75 picks up a little deeper than my MXT.
But it also seemed to hit hard on trash and had mixed signal a lot when running deep ( more sensitivity)
I'd say it's worth the current $799 price now. I can't say I'd pay more for it than that.
If I spend more I'd move on up some thing else.

The SE is $600.00 now, correct?

I don't see how it can be beat for that price. I found a boatload of keepers with mine since February when I bought it. It's definitely a deep seeker. If you pay attention you can learn the tendancies of these machines and realize how consistent they are on ID too. I've dug 65 silver coins with it since bought too so don't let people tell you it doesn't see silver. At least half were 6+ inch dimes in previously hunted sites.

Both items pictured my pinpointer was well under the top of the dirt. At least 10 inches. I'll never part with the f75.

The F75 does go deep. For the price, you won't be disappointed. I found a used LTD with 3 coils and a Sunray FX1 inline probe on Ebay and got an awesome deal.

The only way i would ever buy a FTP Detector is used,would never buy a new one again.

The F75 LTD is an extremely deep machine with blazing fast recovery. I've pulled a 1976 bicentennial half slightly past 12" in overturned farm land. It was not a solid silver VDI hit. One thing you have to keep in mind with this machine or any is that if you want deep finds you have to do some mental math to realize that the VDI will fall off with depth. Getting the max depth out of this machine requires knowing the machine well and working in the mild to moderate soil it thrives in. I recently parted with my F75 LTD as I thinned a herd of 9 machines down to just 2. It was my last cut and the one that hurt me most to make. Now I'm down to a V3i and MX Sport, but watch and see if I don't sneak back up to 3 machines in the spring (hello F75 Plus).

You can dig coins beyond the 16 inch mark. But your hunting a wisp of a signal. All mateal is its deepest setting for coins. It is a very sensitive machine, but can be turned down for city parks and such. Not sure what it does on the beach. The relic diggers like the PI machines for there dirt. But if you spend time you will learn the F75 and not dig trash. I own it and love it.

Just a random thought. October 24th is the last time I put fresh batteries in my detector. I only know this because I posted up my KG2 I dug that night not long after that. Been doing lots of digging and the battery display still reads 3 bars. Incredible battery life from these units. One extreme to the next with my battery chomping tejon.
