New Detector help

[Cbiskit31]

Alright guys looking to get a new detector. I'm narrowing it down between the fisher f2 and f22, Tesoro compadre, eurotek pro, or delta 4000. Any thoughts?

What and where are you going to hunt?
Will this be you first detector?
Are you the kind of person who like to fiddle and tweak stuff, or just put in drive and go and let the car do all the shifting?

Here is a great deal on one of the detectors you listed. It is the Eurotek Pro and comes with 2 coils. I have heard good reviews on all the detectors you listed, I'd take the F2 with a DD coil over the F22, just my preference.

Looking for coins and relics. It isn't my first detector, just looking for something decent to have. I'm not an expert by any means but I know the basics. Mostly looking for good depth and discrimination. Thanks.

What are you using now? Im just starting the hobby and love my Ace 350. My second detector will probably be an AT Pro. Im going to take some trips to do some river and creek hunting in the future. I have also looked into getting the Teknetics t2. I have some friends that have a t2 and enjoy using it.

I use a bounty hunter tracker 4. It's actually not that bad and I have found a Mercury dime at 4 inches, but I'd like something with more depth and discrimination. I was looking at the 350. How is the depth and ID on it?

The depth on the 350 is actually better than I expected. The first time I used the thing I did all metal and hit a nail about 9 inches down. So far the discrimination is good. It uses the segment blocks instead of a number readout. The segment blocks is easy to understand, however I prefer the number readout like on the Fishers and AT pro. All and all im enjoying the 350. The other detector I was heavily leaning towards was the Fisher F4. The main factor I looked at was which detector would be solid performance and not frustrate me and a reasonable price. I really didn't want to spend just under a thousand bucks for a detector right now. Good luck to you.

The bell tone of the Aces was a deal breaker for me. I owned the ace 350 and ATPro at the same time and found the 350 to be just as deep but like I said the door bell sounding audio was annoying. I tried an F2 and Eurotek Pro and hands down the Eurotek had much better audio and features.

Of the machines you have listed, the most popular of them and also the most capable of them is the Eurotek Pro. It's even better if you get the DD coil option.

Thank you all. I'll definetly be checking out the Eurotek and ace 350. Thanks!

Well the f2 would work, but I would want the one with the 11" coil option, but if you are hitting saltwater beaches on the wet sand you wont not do as well as other detectors. I am unfamiliar with the Delta or Tesoro, so I can't say about those. The f22 "says" it good for the beach but it has no setting for salt like the cz3d, which is also a duel Hz machine. The euro tech pro is brought by the guy at first Texas (builders of fisher)
I would compare at the spec of all the machines in your price range from all the manufactures.

I started with the F2 and loved it. I will highly recommend the F44 at $350.

I think all of those have Fixed GB--------------I prefer Manual GB. Not sure what soil you have.

It's fairly mineralized. I've been looking into the eurotek, 350, and f2
