Help with picking new detector

[richeysd76]

With Xmas coming soon I need to find a new detector for my 11yo. He has been using the fisher f2 for the last 2 yrs and he's done pretty well with it but I think it may be time for an upgrade. I looked at the ace 350 but I don't know if that's much better than the f2 after reading some comparison's. I use the fisher f4 and I don't see a noticeable difference between the f2. He likes the numbers on the screen so that's kind of a must. We do mostly relic hunting In very iron infested house sites. Looking for something around $400 and something he can grow into and keep for awhile . I'm trying to talk the wife into an xp deus for me but of course she doesn't really understand why. Thanks for the input

Well let me try this again . Yeah my wife never understands anything I want but she understand shoes lots of shoes for I could open a ladies shoe store.

If your son likes the display, I would suggest the Fisher F5. It is a different detector from the F2 and F4. More like the F70 and F75 platform.

I wouldn't go from a Fisher to a Garrett unless he dislikes Fisher. What about just getting a new coil?

If he likes the F2, I'd suck up the difference and get him an F5. You could probably get one for $500 from Bart.

Forgot about the f5, is it user friendly and how much better in trashy area's than the f2. Thanks for the help

You have all the adjustibility you need for any detector on the fly. The F5 is a workhorse. It is the next step.

It's a great machine. The constant feedback on ground conditions is a plus, and the display is one of the largest screens out there. If you are interested in a lightly used one, I have one on the classifieds.

Take Minelab!!!
Anyway you will have to upgrade to it!
Take used Minelab Explorer II, it is quite cheap now...
