Latest update, Fisher called Kellyco and informed them no F22 & 44s will be shipped till late next week... They are behind in production due to the demand. I was just called by Kellyco and informed.. I will update as I hear more..

Picked one up off ebay that was used for testing that should be here Friday. I'm going to run through the test bed and do some head to head vids against a f19, at pro, the Core along with others. Will post the vids off my scannerguy1968 channel.

I took my F44 on it's first outing this afternoon. I am very surprised in how well it did. I scored a nickel trifecta with 2 1937 Buffalo nickels, 1 Silver 1942P War nickel, and a couple of early 1940's nickels. I dug some wheat pennies and a Civil War era 3 ringer. The machine was real stable and I was surprised on how deep some of the targets were. I dug a dime at around 9 inches. It was as deep as my Propointer. I could run sensitivity at 20 with little or no chatter. I was in the jewelry mode and I would switch from time to time to check the targets in all metal and the other modes. I think Fisher has a winner here.

I am amazed at how these two '37 buffalo nickels look. I wish I had a camera to take some pictures of them. 2 of the best buffalo nickels I have ever found. Dates are clearly visible. Amazing.

Nice! My F22 was waiting for me after work on Friday but it's been storming most of the weekend since. The detector might be weather-resistant, but I wasn't going to find out if I was. :) Soon though!

This one hour hunt today makes 4 silvers I have dug in 2 days. 3 war nickels and this sterling ring. This machine loves nickels. That is a '49 nickel in the picture.

I like "no nonsense" video's. This guy showed the good and the bad, pluses and minuses, truly what to expect for his type soil. I felt more of being informed than being sold.

Great job.

Nice video. I like the picture I posted as well. Keep in mind I am pulling these finds out of a site where an F75 and an Atpro have already hunted basically for about 5 years. i am impressed that i was able to find silver both trips I visited this specific site. i am going to go back over some other places and see what this machine will sniff out.

What settings were you using on the hunts to nail the nickels? I'm assuming you were plucking the silver with the same settings.

I'm going to try mine later today after my much-neglected yardwork is complete.

I've been using Jewelry mode with volume on 12, sensitivity on 19-20...I've dug all this in a nail bed. Literally iron everywhere. It is a dig everything machine. At least I have dug every repeatable signal. 99 tends to show up a lot and is usually iron. Like I said I am digging in a nail bed.

This is the good finds from 3-2hour hunts. I haven't dug this many silver coins in a long time.
