I just ordered a slightly used, but still expensive, Fisher F75 Ltd Edition with the Camo Paint.
I used to metal detect A LOT but quit about 15 years ago due to other commitments. However, the bug hit me again and after reading a ton of reviews I decided to go with the Fisher.
Bear in mind, I am primarily a relic hunter, started out with a D-Tex years ago then went to a Fisher 1265, then Tesoro Golden Sabre for coinshooting and trashy areas, then swapped the 1265 for a 1266. I was very familiar with Fisher and, in my mind, the 1265 was probably the best relic machine ever. The 1266 was good, but chattered too much.
Anyway, I got the F75 in and read through the instructions, watched some videos online, then went to hit an old church yard I have been hunting for years and have pulled hundreds of coins out of as well as a few civil war relics.
The F75 only took a few minutes to get used to and started producing immediately. In about an hour I pulled a dozen coins from the churchyard which I know has been hunted hard. They were deep and most of the time was spent digging. This was in Louisiana and the ground is hard as a rock (I wasn't really digging as much as chipping away chunks of cement like clay) so that took most of my time.
I'll be using it for relics soon, but I just wanted to put this on here in case anybody is thinking of buying but hesitating because of the price. If you can afford it, it definitely is worth the money. I'm not a big meter fan, since I mostly relic hunt, but the meter was dead on as far as identity of the coin and the depth. I dug one dime at about 8 inches and the signal was LOUD through the speaker, I wasn't using headphones, so I know the depth is there on this machine.

Didn't know Fisher made a Camo F-75 Ltd.
