Hey guys, first off I just wanted to say hello to the community as this is my first post on this forum. I am from Kearney, Nebraska and just recently got interested in MD. I just bought and recieved my first MD on tuesday this week and I chose the fisher F2 because it seemed a good priced MD to learn on.
Well I must say that I'm not very impressed and I'm sure it's me more than the machine but this thing really has me scratching my head. It always seems to detect something no matter where I swing it and the indicator just goes crazy bouncing through all the numbers. I have tried turning the sensitivity all the way down and everywhere in between but to no avail. I have also discriminated out the iron and pull tabs but it still isn't helping either. Maybe the places I'm hunting just have a massive hoard of coins buried down there Idk lol. I have read that mineralized ground will really mess with a metal detector but I have no idea if the ground here is mineralized. I was also wondering if the f2 has a ground balance feature that i'm just not finding in the manual. At this rate I'm really considering either sending my detector to the factory to have them look at it or just plain sending it back for a refund and saving my money for a better detector. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
