    For me I would say the Fisher I.D. Edge is one of the most under-rated machines I feel I have ever used. This machine Id's in all metal, has very respectable depth! I feel the reason you don't hear much about them is there were not a lot of them Sold and the reason is probably because Fisher...

    Seems like Buying a CTX3030 is like a crap-shoot

    Mine sits on the wall waiting for all the great up-dates that were coming with it. Sure it's a great machine but I have my go to machine. I have less than an hour on this unit but I saw its potential unmasking coins in trace pattern. (smearing of 2 targets) Found a couple coins w/iron in the...
