Great For A Beginner
Gavin in Belgium -I can't compare the F2 to any other detector as it is my first one, but what I can say is that for a novice like me this machine gives a fantastic value and quality entry into the hobby. It is simplicity in itself and the only trouble I had was getting the battery compartment to close as it is a tight fit in there which I guess is a design feature to stop the two 9v batteries rattling when the machine is in use. I had some headphones ready so couldn't compare battery life with or without the headphones, but the batteries are holding up well after about 10 hours use. So out I went onto an old path behind my house and started swinging. I soon discovered that there was a lot underground. I live in the mountains, in a valley which has been inhabited for thousands of years, there are only a few houses but the valley had a mill at the top end once, had a few mines further up, a foundry, and was farmed well too. In the woods too there are many old foundations so I have a lot to go to. Anyway I soon decided for peace of mind (and to save digging up countless screws and nails) and turned the discrimination up to eliminate Iron. Two button pushes later and my ears could cope. Within minutes I had begun unearthing interesting bits and bobs, then, after about an hour, my first coin, 10 Centimes from 1876. Next day after about an hour again and digging up some interesting pieces, I found another coin, this time a bronze 5 centimes from 1795. What more can I say, I'm happy and I think anyone who buys this machine will be happy too. I'd be interested to see what others have to say about the Fisher F2 who can compare it to other units on the market in all price ranges. I have a sneaking suspicion that the results will be favorable.
