    Gold Objects

    I have just spent an hour on a different forum. I was reading about people discussing looking for Gold items and how to do it. It went on and on about settings and everything else. Good Grief!!! I keep hoping to find Gold, but it has not happened yet. I discriminate out the low stuff and...

    Helping you stand up when your legs are weak

    I have never posted to this forum, but maybe this can help someone. I am in my eighties with arthritis and very weak legs. Getting up from the ground is impossible without some help. I take along a “sitting-kneeling” bench. The kind used for gardening and can cost less than twenty/thirty...

    I do really need a Nel Sharpshooter coil?

    I have a fisher F70 with the following coils: The Fisher 11" DD coil Nel Snake (6.5"x3.5") Would there be any real upside for me to buy a Nel Sharpshooter (9.5"x5.5")? Maybe Winter is getting to me and I am restless. I keep thinking about it, but I can not seem to justify it in my head. I...

    On/Off Knob Guard for F75

    I read on another forum that someone has made a mod to cover the on/off knob on the F75. I must be bumping the volume knob when I use my F70. Every once in a while I have to check the volume and find it turned down. I do it enough that I am finding it to be bothersome. Anyone know how the...

    Makro Pointer and Rechargeable Batteries

    I like my Makro Pointer, even though at times it acted a bit crazy. If your Makro Pointer acts erratic at times, the following may be the problem. I found the problem was caused by the rechargeable batteries. When fully charged they measure around 10 volts and everything was great. When...

    F70 and jumping ID numbers

    I am eighty and tend to go to beaches because there I do not have to get down on my knees. Getting up and down is very hard for me, but I also like to use my F70 on solid ground. Before I get down on my knees, I look for solid repeatable signals and the target ID numbers do not jump more than...

    Garrett Z-LYNK Wireless

    I saw a post somewhere that said the Z-LYNK transmits at a single pitch. I use a Fisher F70 and usually have the sound set for delta pitch. I find the pitch changes gives me a lot of information. Does the Z-LYNK work with delta pitch sounds? Thank you.

    My F70 visits the Bahamas

    For the last few winters, my wife has wanted to get away from northern Ohio and go someplace warm. We went for a week to Paradise Island in the Bahamas. (Not Atlantis, but right next door at all-inclusive Riu Palace.) Side Note: We are both retired teachers in our late seventies. While...

    F70 and airplanes

    I want to take my F70 to Nassau next month. If I put the whole top section into my carry on, the airlines may not like it. Having watched watching them load luggage onto planes makes me nervous. Does the head and battery parts come off the frame easily? What about the connection between...

    1280-x shorting out

    My 1280-x battery pack has started shorting out against one of the two voltage poles going into the internal section of the detector. It fried the battery pack holder. Same thing happened to the next holder. I now use a plastic insert to protect against this, isolating the battery holder from...

    Headphone Impedance of F70/F75

    With my awful hearing, it probably does not make much of a difference (I'm deaf in left ear), but what is the headphone impedance of the of Fisher F70/F75 series? I am hoping to improve what I hear. I am using an inexpensive pair, but outside noises like waves and wind drive me crazy at times...

    Makro Pin Pointer Accessories

    Where can I buy the accessories for the Makro pin pointer? Pointer covers, holsters, etc. I can not find any sources using an Internet browser search. I really enjoy that easy to use pointer.

    Does your F70 dislike wet grass?

    Mine sure does get jumpy !!!!! Maybe most MD's are that way. When I used my F2, it was always in sand or dry grass. Maybe it would have been chirpy too.

    Disc Level from one to zero - F70

    I am still new to the F70, but I am getting more and more impressed with it (thanks to this forum.) This is definitely a super great detector. Using it it is a lot of fun. What is surprised me yesterday was when the Disc is changed from one to zero. Wham --- I am hit in the side of the head...

    Meteorite Hunting

    I have an F70 with 11” DD and Nel Snake coils. Has anyone used the F70/75 for meteorite hunting? I am open to all suggestions on this one. I have been retired for 20+ years and am game to try anything new. I am assuming my F2 with other coils, including a Nel Hunter coil, are not up to that...

    Jumpy ID Numbers

    I have had the Fisher F70 for a few months and I like it. Maybe not as easy to use as my F2, but the changing from the F2 to the F70 has not been hard. Reading the manual and coming to this Fisher F-link has been important. I am still adjusting to the F70. The F70 has its own language while...

    Using a F2 coil on a F70

    If I use a F2 Sniper coil on a F70, will I hurt the coil and/or detector? Has anyone been brave enough to try it? Yes! I know the coil is mismatched and will be inefficient. I am only worried about damaging something, not the efficiency of the combination. My sniper coil on the F2 lets me...

    F70 Settings

    I just upgraded from the F2 to the F70 with an 11’DD and I am playing with it in the garage, because of steady, cold rain. (NE Ohio) I feel like if I can understand the F70, I am going to love it. The F70 seems to be an overpowered psychotic monster wanting to get loose and it is my job to...

    F2 to F70

    I am assuming I have made a good upgrade going from a F2 to a F70. I am now re-re-re-reading the operating manual of the F70 before the detector arrives. It looks like a very, very good machine. It is coming with the 11" DD coil, which I wanted, but it does not have a sniper sized coil...
