    My E trac is on the way

    I think the posting about wasting $1500 was the trigger for me finally deciding to buy the E-trac. After reading all the responses to that post, it seems that there are a lot of very passionate users of the E-trac. And those responses really made the decision very easy. I have been...

    Another F-70 or any other detector tip

    When making adjustments to the F-70 to cope with ground or EMI conditions, I like to air test a quarter or dime to check on how the adjustments affected the ability of the F-70 to find deeper coins or relics. I've always found that in order to deal with high mineral content or high trash areas...

    For Sale Fisher F-70

    For sale: Fisher F-70. Almost three months old. Works excellent. In excellent condition. I found lots of coins and other neat stuff with the F-70. In the three months I've owned it, it has paid for itself. I am selling due to a knee / leg injury I recently got ( this afternoon) playing...

    F-70- and gold prospecting

    I will be out west for a few weeks this coming spring and would like to know if anyone has used the F-70 for gold prospecting? I know it finds gold rings just fine. Anyone have any experiences with the F-70 prospecting?

    Excellent video of DD coil, SEF coil, F-70 concentric

    It is in Spanish. But you do not have to know the language in order to understand the test the guy is doing. It is a YouTube video of an F-70 with the 10 inch concentric doing a recovery test. Also check out the links to the F-75 DD coil being used on the F-70 and the SEF coil. Here is the...

    2 Ring day with the F-70 along with.........

    Was out today with the F-70 at a 30 year old local school / ball diamonds / soccer fields for about 3 and a half hours. The F-70 was set at 0 discrimination, 80 sensitivity, slow speed, 0 threshold, 4H tones, iron and foil notched. The dirt bar read 1 bar and the ground condition read at 65...

    E-Trac on the beaches

    Has anyone used an E-Trac on the North Carolina and Florida ocean beaches? I'll be on vacation after Christmas for three months and I am planning on getting an E-trac for Christmas and will be using it on the beaches. Ahhhhhh YES ! Three months of metal detecting as much as I want. Life is...

    4 ring day with the F-70

    OK..I'm sure everyone is sick and tired of hearing from me about how much I like the F-70. Me liking the F-70 was not always the case. Yeah....I hated it at first. I was running it way too hot and it was driving me crazy. Numbers jumping all over the place and chirping and noises like I...

    Learned a lot about the F-70's capabilities today

    Went out today after it rained for the last two days. Went to a local city that has a lake in the center of town with a park around it. The park is about 120 years old. The area was trashy with some pretty bad ground readings. I started to detect when a guy came up to me and started asking...

    Links to Fisher info

    Here is a link that also links to other articles that can help in the quest to educate ourselves about metal detecting. Fisher really should advertise this more...........http://www.fisherlab.com/hobby/Fisher_Intelligence6th.html I learned a lot from their site even after MD'ing for almost 20...

    My next coil for the F-70 would be?

    I was talking to Clyde over at Relic hunter supply and he is recommending before I get the Fisher F-75 DD coil, I should consider the 3 1/4 X 6 small Fisher coil first. Has anyone had any experience with the small coil and the DD F-75 coil and which one would you recommend first? I do a lot of...

    F 70 and nickles

    Was out today with the F70at a local yuppie park full of trash. A lot of tabs and clads. Plus lots of garbage strewn about. I must of picked up 40 plastic containers and lots of other trash. Some clads were pretty deep. I found $24.87 worth of modern coins today. Too bad none were silver or...

    Should I wait until an upgrade or take the plunge now?

    OK. I've been reading a lot about the E-trac. I've tested one for about a half hour. I have an Explorer SE with an updated coil along with a Fisher F-70 and the new TDI.. Should I wait until the new E-Trac becomes used more out in the field and Minelab makes some changes or should I go out...

    OOOPS! B4 You call Fisher and send it back...............

    I did an OOPS today. I was testing my F-70 in my coin garden and I could not pick up anything. I mean not even a penny at 4 inches. What the heck I'm thinking to myself. When I first got my F-70, it was great. Ran really great and I was finding stuff pretty deep. But today it was different...

    Not getting the depth with the new F70?

    Here is what I have found. Do a complete reset. Push in the MENU button along with the GROUND GRAB button while turning on the machine. Hold the two buttons down for about 30 seconds and the screen will read 88 with all the bars on the side on. This will reset the programs and sometimes make...

    Hotshot coil

    Been using my Spectrum now for 18 years and love it still. I've been looking for coils to allow for more depth and have been hearing about the Hotshot coil that is sold by Jimmy Sierra. I know they are kind of rare now, but has anyone had any experience with that coil. I'm not talking about...

    Hey Fisher customer service...how about........

    This message is to Fisher customer service. The F70 is a great machine that could be greater with the F-75's DD coil. Everyone I talk to that has the F-70 with the DD coil is saying so. Why not make the F-70 the very best it can be by making the DD coil the standard coil for the F-70, instead...

    The F70 is in and I have been out with it for 5 hours

    I received my F-70 this afternoon. Good old UPS. The box looked like it went through a war. But the F-70 was undamaged. With the F-70 you get batteries, a carry bag and a Fisher pin pointer. The bag is nice, but it should have an outside pocket with Velcro to carry extra batteries and...

    My F-70 will be in Wednesday...what are my options?

    I've been a MD'er for over 20 years and have owned many metal detectors in the past. Still have my trusty old Spectrum and it works great. I've had limited experience with the F-70 so far...but that is about to change. I need some advice as to what extras are essential to make the F-70 the...
