Hey yall.

Just getting back into detecting. Picked up a Fisher F5 and got out this weekend. Ran it wide open so I could try and learn this machine. I have to say it is quite the machine! Combed a beach at a local lake today, scored a bunch of tabs, bottle caps, and 11 cents in clad. LOL

All in good fun and learned a lot of the beeps and blips this Fisher F5 makes. Looking forward to conversing with yall.

Fuzzy.

Congrats on your new machine and welcome back to the hobby. Every machine has a certain amount of learning curve that you have to deal with. You will pick up on the language of the F5 in no time. Good luck on our next hunt.

I had a Ace 250 years ago, but this mineralized soil in East Texas would make that thing go crazy!! That is one reason i looked for an F5, and it has proven to be very effective in my soil.

Don't forget to download F5 Tips and Tricks at the bottom of this page:

Fisher Metal Detectors

I had an F5, and it was my main unit for many years.

Welcome back, fuzzy! The wife and I have been talking seriously about moving to your great state of Texas but we just can't seem to give up this 20 below zero temps and feet upon feet of snow that we both love so much.:BangHead:

Welcome to Tnet! Im just down the road from you between emory and canton. Have family in Longview though so detect there some times. Lots of good areas to detect around you its just a matter of doing research to locate them. My best finds I attribute more to the time I spent researching than the time I spent detecting.
