    I have an idea for an F5 mod (ya listening Fisher?)

    My dilemma with tabs hitting hard as nickels continued today. The group here has been helpful using 26-28 as more nickel and less tab. I just let 31-32 go. I finally had to notch out tabs, figuring that rings usually bounce around somewhat, and the tones calmed down, except the 31-32. I did dig...

    I have a NEL sharpshooter I'd like to trade for a Fisher F2/F4 11" DD in good condition.

    Bit the bullet, and have a Deteknix XPointer on the way.

    Silly me. I have used the Fisher PP (sucked) and then for the past year a TX2002 (sucks a little less). I have watched the video's on this new PP, and am impressed with it's abilities, especially with it's lower cost over the major brands. When I tried to buy one Friday, almost everyone was...

    Has anyone found the best way to clean coins?

    I was told many years ago soapy water. Is it still that way, or has anyone found a good solution to bring coins back to where the date can be read?

    Do all detectors hit tabs as hard nickels...

    ....or just Fishers? I had plenty of hard nickel hits today and almost all of them were tabs. What good is the tab segment if Fishers don't use it?:rage: It happens on both of my Fishers.

    I ran an air test on the F5 and F2

    I only use air testing for a comparison, and not what it will truly detect in the ground (depth). Each figure is not where the coin was detected, but where I got a definite hit, tone and display.(keep that in mind because the coin may have been detected a half inch or more as a chopped tone...

    F2 gets a ring

    I have only played with the F2 around the house. Took it to a local ball field today as wife wanted me to leave for an hour so she could clean. Was out for about an hour and a half. The F2 loves tabs and doesn't kindly place them in the tab segment. Many hit hard as nickels. But what also hit as...

    The new Land Ranger Pro

    Has anyone heard about or used one? All I know is the one Russian video on youtube. I may be persuaded away from my F5 by the looks of it. Main advantage for me is that the manual says it saves your data (less ground settings). Plus I like the many different mode settings. Guess I'm getting...

    FS/T Two Fisher F5 coils

    I have 2 coils for the F5 for sale. I tried them years ago but never took them hunting, as I just used the stock. These are the PLUG IN CONNECTOR type coils and NOT screw on type. The like new 5" coil is $85. The like new 11" is $105. No scratches and the 5" comes with a cover. Shipped and I...

    Another F5 coil discovery?

    When you go to the site that has NEL coils, the Hunter for the F5 also lists that it is the same for the Teknetics Alpha to Omega line as well as the Gold Bug and a few Bounty Hunters. Same coil works on all of them. I just bought a F2 over a Delta. I'm wondering if I could have bought the...

    Getting more into my F5

    I have watched as many traded or sold their F5 because it was too confusing. Once I traded my Deleon and got the F5, I just swung it a few times a year, as I never really took the time to know it as well. Lately I thought about trading it and getting a more turn on a go unit. But today, I went...

    Has anyone used a NEL Hunter on an F2?

    Just wondered if it's worth the investment. I got the F2 today, and a quick test has the stock getting a penny at 4". But I bought the package (with the sniper coil, pinpointer, headphones, etc) and wondering if I didn't get the crap coils from long ago, since the wires seem awfully thin. If...

    F5,F2 question

    Hi Guys, I have a F5 I have used for years. I wanted to get a second detector as a back up, as well as one I could let my grandson use (who's taking an interest) as well. So I decided to get a F2 that's arriving today. My question is, is the numeric ID on both the same? I noticed an article...

    Is Richard at Backwoods Detectors honest?

    I just got back from buying a simple set of headphones from him. I had called and said I lived about 2 miles away. He said he had somewhere he had to be, but he'd wait, to come on over. We didn't go into his business building, but just sat on his couch, and I sat across from him and his lovely...

    Help guys

    I sold Fliptop my XTerra 70 and 2 coils. Pack N Mail packed and shipped it. When he got it, the ears on 2 of the coils were broken. When the girl packed the 2 coils, she inverted them to where the the ears of both coils were together and wrapped both with bubble wrap. So is it possible that as...

    Transition to a X70

    Well, after years of using a Tesoro Deleon, I have made a trade for my first Minelab product. The X70 seems like a whole new world over the turn on and go Deleon. Plus, I think the retune speed of the X70 is slower and I will have to use the PP button (something I didn't have on the Deleon, and...
