The Fisher F4 comes with a 11" DD coil.
It will accept both your BH coils without problems.
Advantages of this purchase are obvious :
-Digital detector with notching capacities.
-Your arsenal wil contain both DD and concentric coils.
-No motion mode with ground balance. You can search in non motion, listening to faint, deep signal, eventually checking them in disc.
-Depth meter to dig only deep targets, or targets in the coin range, or both.
The alternative is a Time Ranger. I run one, and I like it a lot. It has a proscpecting mode, and my '" gold nugget coil air tests 8+" on coin-sized targets.

Grumpy.
Thanks for the info on the two detectors. I have been seeing more about the Time Ranger detector lately, but looking for reviews/info online is vary scarce. I've seen some great reviews for the Fisher but decided on the BH Discovery 3300, and is what I got. If I do upgrade again at some point I'll be looking at the Fisher and Teknetics lines - and hopefully have some found silver or rings to pay for it.

My new Discovery 3300 has those options except the DD coil, and I am glad to have a no motion pinpoint mode too. It has a manual ground balance for the pinpoint mode and is great to tune the signal of a target to actual size, very handy and allows me to dig very small holes or use a probe. I never thought of hunting in that mode but it would be great for areas that don't have lots of trash.
