Fisher f2??

[treasurehunter101]

Is it a good machine? Can it detect gold, silver jewelry, silver coins, and regular clad coins? Is it for intermediate metal detectorists? Thank you so much and would you prefer the fisher f2 or the bounty hunter quick silver? Thank you!

The F2 is way better than the BH. It will pick up gold rings if it isn't disc out pull tabs as these have the same conductivity, Silver is very conductive.

Okay thanks! I guess I'll save up for the fisher f2 then! Does it do well? Like does it pick up gold easily and other valuable items?

Ive had my F2 for a little over a month now and I LOVE IT!!! especially when used with headphones it delivers a very clean sharp beep and pinpoints great! The number codes are REALLY helpful once you learn what they stand for too!

That's very good to know! And okay headphones also keep battery longer as I read over the internet, and it seems like a good machine. Can you find gold, silver coins, jewelry, regular coins with it? And is the depth good on it oh and is the LCD readings on it accurate? ?

You keep asking the same questions on several post. Do you not believe the answers you are given?

YES, it will find gold, silver, jewelry, "regular coins" and ANY other type of metal you put under the coil. Depth is pretty good, not really considered a deep seeker but in it's price range it's good YES! Screen numbers never lie! It's just an interpretation of conductivity. Don't read that wrong as saying every "81" reading will be a dime, it might very well be a piece of junk with the same conductivity. Savvy?

I actually own both machines. The fisher F2 has a lot more features to help you know whats in the ground and how deep it is. Really love my F2, Great machine! You wouldn't be disappointed.

I had a Pioneer EX, the Wally World version of the Quicksilver and exactly the same but without a headphone jack.
It was my first and using it was the most horrible and frustrating experience I have ever had in any hobby and BH should be ashamed they sell anything like this thing at this price.
I still have it...once I find a bonfire big enough or visit the Grand Canyon it will meet its death and I only hope it suffers much and slowly before its demise.

On the other hand I have used the F2 for the last 3 years along with a couple of Tesoros, but using that one we came to a complete understanding and that thing has found me over 10x's what my 2 coil package cost...a much larger chunk of that after I started to use the sniper coil over the 8".
The 10" coil is also worth its weight in gold...goes deep and is super cheap for what you get and what it can do.

Can it find clad?
It is a monster at doing that.
Silver and gold?
I have found way more than my share including a bunch of silver including chains and more than my share of gold...10 gold targets alone with the F2 in 2013.

It is considered a beginner's unit but it is far more than that.
For an intermediate hunter I don't know, it might work fine but not a ton of settings to play with so that is up to you.
If that is a concern for you and want to stay in the Fisher line skip right over the F4 which is way to close to the F2 for the money they ask and save up a bit more and go for the F5.
Knobs and tons of settings and it is a beast on coins and jewelry, too.

If you want to see what the F2 can do just look at my finds from last year.

Except for the salesman's sample fake class ring, the 1865 2 cent coin, the Indian head, a silver pendant with a big fake rock and 2 out of the 12 gold targets the F2 found everything else.
I could have found those other targets with the F2 I am sure, but I just wasn't swinging them at the time I rolled over these targets.
Oh yea, I found $360 in clad last year.
About $340 0f that was found with the F2, also.

The Fisher F2 is arguably the best entry level detector available... My customers sure love theirs! It would definitely be a step up from the Bounty Hunter.
