Fisher F2-- are you guys happy with yours? Thinking about getting one maybe

[bigtim1973]

I was just wondering if you guys are happy with your fisher F2. I have owned in the past, a whites spectrum eagle, tesoro silver sabre 2, whites coinmaster 2, whites classic 3 plus, ace 250 and fisher 1225x. I currently own a Fisher 1265x, Tesoro conquistador and have just ordered a minelab X-terra 50 which is on the way. I was going to sell my conquistador to a friend who wants to get into detecting. I know the F2 is an entry level detector, but it looks like a fun machine. Are you guys happy with yours and was the money well spent?

My son likes his, but it only gets about 4-5". If you have an Xterra 50 on the way I wouldn't bother, unless its for a loaner or for a young member of the family.

For someone new to detecting I'm sure they would think it was great. But from my experience all targets greater than a few inches are identified as iron. You want a fun little cheap detector with top notch performance, get a Compadre.

The F2 is an OK detector for what you get for the price. I see on eBay $199 with 8" & 4" coils, or $215 shipped also including the Fisher F-point pinpointer. The notches seem hard to adjust. I got them the way I wanted them 3 times by accident, but even looking at the manual couldn't do it. It seemed OK for 4"-5". HH, George (MN)
