No

The F75 is an upgraded model. It really has seen good reviews.

Or downgraded depending what your going to use it for.
The early T2 should be avoided. Get Software Revision 6 and the detector should have the hardware improvements of the F75.
T2's main advantage is the much wider iron range discrimination, F75 though does have a static all metal mode which I prefer to the motion one of the T2 in some circumstances.

Both show their Bounty Hunter origins. Build quality has been skimped to save a few cents which is a pity.

This is the main reason I haven't purchased a 75 yet. To me it looks like they were smuggled in from China. Even that "fish bone" coil somehow looks Chinese.

No bad feelings because I'm sure the F-75 is great but to me outward appearance means something.

you are not the only one who is concerned about the overall quality. i am curious about the fast response time, but first texas scares me a bit. i think i will have to take a wait and see stance and see how these machines hold up.

I have a T2 and I am not sure about the statement an F75 is a non motion pinpoint mode. That would be quite a trick to pinpoint without moving the coil. Kidding aside, lets put out accurate information on TNet. The T2 has a non motion pinpoint mode. The T2 manual is online see for your self readers. T2's are a dang good detector for the price. Have a good day.

Thanks for pointing that out Elf. I did mean the Static all metal mode on the 75 thats not on the T2.
People did pinpoint before S.P.D. machines came on the market though.

I was told by a sales rep that the fisher has a more sensitive coil.

I had my Gold Bug 2 serviced just before Fisher was sold. When I called to ask if the rumor of its sale was true, I was told it had been purchsed by Bounty Hunter. That is why you send your "Fisher" metal detector for repairs to Texas now.
