Fisher Research Labs A-1 Service in my book

[Loco-Digger]

Had my F75 SE LTD upgraded a couple of months ago in Feb. Came back like a new machine and the turn-around-time was great.

2 weeks ago I did a bonehead thing (something we could laugh about over a beer). I had to ship it back out for a repair. Had to replace the whole bottom rear piece. Was quoted a very fair price (cheaper than expected). Is shipping out tomorrow.

Just wanted to tip my hat to Fisher Research Labs.

Good to hear.

Does it involve leaving the detector leaning up against a vehicle as you drove off? ;-)

 

[Loco-Digger]

Man your good, remind me of this guy.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

While I have never done in a detector that way I have, and have seen, the same process of self-inflicted wounds.

Once is an accident. Twice - you get a head slap. ;-)

I'm buyin' that first round.

 

[Loco-Digger]

How do you like the probe? How much weight does it add to the detector. I swung the light weight f4 most of last season and could swing it for 8-10 hours a day. The F75 is over 3 lbs and I tire out after about 6 hours.

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

It adds about 10 oz, but the probe clips between the hand and the forearm and balances out well.





My previous detector was a Minelab with control box and eight AA batteries ahead of my hand, so the F-75 with FX-1 probe weighs about half what that one did and feels even lighter than half.

C'mon - what's that AKM w/30 rounder clip weigh? 10 or 11 pounds?

 

[Loco-Digger]

yes but normally my weapon was shouldered and not swung side to side for 8 to 10 hours a day (1 handed). The AK was an Afghan soldiers weapon that I borrowed for the picture, I normally carried an M16A2.

I am looking into getting a probe, I hate using my garret pro pointer in a trashy area since it does not discriminate. Is that why you got the probe since it runs off the detectors discrimination setting?

 

[Charlie P. (NY)]

It will. It is a 3/4" coil that you switch with the regular coil. Uses the headphones and display. And if you hold the detector's pinpointing trigger it uses the non-motion pinpointing circuit and display of the detector.
