CF77 - Simply Very Good
by Dude from Canada in Saskatoon, SK Canada -
As of October 2018, this is the best beep-and-dig I have used. It is a very well built and well engineered detector. It is extremely deep if the instruction DVD is learned to know how to set it up properly. It sets up very different than American VLF machines when ground balancing. The only negatives I can think of is it lacks adjustable discrimination control, 3 preset (low, medium, high) tones, and does not have a pinpointing feature. That is the only reason I could not give it 5 stars. These are only minor points though. It is easy to find the targets and it is very accurate discriminating metals. Oh, it is deep too so be ready to dig holes in the 8-10 inch range regularly. I prefer it to the VDI machine it replaced - Fisher F75 Ltd. I dig more targets, but I find better stuff too. An 1894 US V-nickel within the first 30 minutes I used the machine on a hunted out field I have pounded for 3 years.

Excellent Metal Detector
by Viking Vic in UK -
I have used my CF77 for a year now and although I quite like digital displays, its quite nice not to be distracted by it.
The depth of the finds are about 2ft on certain metals and you can completely turn off any interference from ferrous metals, iron and mineralisation. This helps when scouring the beach and rocky areas.
I really rate this machine. It's easy to put together, comes with 3 sizes of coils. It comes in a bag for easy transport and is a comfortable size and weight for all day use. The battery lasts for a good 2-3 days of constant use.
Highly recommended for beginner/intermediate and even experienced detectorists.
