Fisher F2 Metal Detector

Ordered the Fisher F2 on Saturday around midday and got it less than 48hrs later, Monday 10am. As I ordered from Salzburg/Austria/Europe in the States I find that pretty good. What I found also pretty good were my first 2hrs 10min using it.

I spent the rest of that Monday with buying stuff you need for that...for digging etc. Today I first read the manual and went through the short introduction. That took me half an hour. Then I packed everything together and started the adventure.

I went to an old (really old) stone pit in the woods near a mountain, not used since decades (many) where normally no people show up... and I found plenty of... waste. Well, at least old waste.

Ordered this item approx 1 week before Christmas and it was received in record time, in excellent condition. I purchased this item for my 24 yr old son, who has long been interested in owning a metal detector. He was thrilled! This is a very high quality beginner detector for a young adult and you just can't beat the price! Great Product!!! Thank You!!

The Fisher F2 Metal Detector does not disappoint. It has four tones, a numeric range and metal indicator tabs on the screen that help to indicate what type of metal you have just discovered underground. When detecting in a nearby field, the low tone indicated a iron object and we dug up an old plow point. The higher tone and impressive pin pointer feature helped us locate an old brass bullet shell and a dime. We also dug up an old kitchen pan and part of an iron skillet. The discrimination feature is great but we are willing to dig it all. The F2 is lightweight and well made. We love it!
