Never used one but interesting combo knobs and display & 19kHz I think - Fisher F-19 / Teknetics G2+ / Bounty Hunter Time Range Pro -- Relic, maybe small gold.
The coil reminds me of the one on my F-75 looks like a dead spawned out salmon carcass/skeleton

The 7X11"----I call it my "halibut" coil. -----A good coil (IMO)!

I have owned all models of the First Texas 19khz machines. You can't go wrong with any of them. My favorite is the Teknetics G2+ which I have owned like 3+ years. The shaft design just feels better when swinging. I also have the original Goldbug with the gold trim at top of display. It has less options than the F19 or G2+ and it has a beep tone instead of vco tone.

They’re really good detectors. The coil is one of my favorites but the ears are somewhat weak.

Watch a video on it and when the guy was swinging it the shaft was all creaky noisy in an annoying way

That’s an easy fix , I just wonder more about unmasking ability, audio options.

I just got the F-19 with the 5x9 coil .I have found since May 4 gold rings just hunting parks up hear in Minnesota it's an awesome detecter. My settings are 7 disc and V break at 36 this helps it unmask better .it sucks on silver ,O,K it's a gold detector if your done is over 5 " you will never hear it , shallow fine it's for low conductors, the 5X9 coil really is great at separation , for 300 bucks it is a monster.
