Badger Buys a F-2 UpDate

[Michigan Badger]

Okay, this is my first Fisher since 1983. I just bought the F-2 off ebay.

It's selling like hotcakes!

They (whoever "they" are), are saying it's deeper than even the mighty Minelab SE.

This I have to see for myself.

NOTE: Ebay has some being offered at this ime.

Badger,

Congrats. on your new toy! If you have read any good field tests on the F2, pls. sand me the link. I hope it's not just a RS 3300 with different paint. I guess we have to wait for spring before you can test it? Joe

We'll see Joe. I think EasyMoney is pretty straight with us and if he isn't we'll still be nice to him cause he's 6'1" and BAD!

Re: Badger Buys a F-2

I am begnning to think I need a rich woman to just buy me all of them. Then I would know which one I would like to have. I wonder how the Prizm 4 would stack up to the F2? Any thoughts out there?

Re: Badger Buys a F-2

Well, one thing for sure, I don't like feeding people a bunch of crap that just ain't true. When I say that most detectors are between 1 and 3 inches of each other in depth, take that to the bank also

If you know anybody that has a cz, mine reads between a 1and a 3 on the Fisher GB scale here, but in a couple of places it reads only a 5 or a 6 like in Ohio or Iowa. Only in air does it go higher (less minerals) than that.

That does sound like a real good combo, the Sov GT and the F-2, best backup,
and one of the best big cruisers made

Personally, I think the GT is a bit better than the Elite, but both are mean machines in bad soil and salt beaches, but I think the GT has a bit of an edge.

Right now, the best thing about the F-2 is it's ultra-fast recovery from target to target. I figure about 5-6 quick fans pers second if I fan it right in front of the coil at 5 inches. It gets every one of them. Not bad.
The only other detectors that can do that are
Tesoros and Compasses. My cz-70 can't.

If that woman is hot you may not need a hot detector

Re: Badger Buys a F-2

Badger, I read one of those comparisons just yesterday but can't recall where it was. I might be able to find it though.

My Prism III isn't real slow and it pinpoints fairly well, but it's not as quick nor as presise as the new F-2 and F-4, or a Silver uMax. The thing I don't like about it though is that it loves tiny scrap steel, like a Tejon, but worse and a bit noisier..

I am about to purchas my first M/d and after reviewing a good bit I have been leaning towards the F2. After reading the latest it will be a given.

However I cant find anyone who has them in stock, any suggestions?

You're welcome and glad you got one of the few left.

I really have a good feeling about this detector.

Smart person! We don't know how long the free coil deal will continue.

ONLY (2) more left folks.

Gary's of GB says that the Silver uMaxes all get a bit different depth...?

I'm curious about more tests on the F-2, but so far their reviews pretty much match mine.

That was discussed on the Tesoro Forum. Mr. Gifford commented that the difference would be so small no one would even notice. Any big difference means the machine goes back to the factory.
