F19 still the King of Virginia's Colonial Fields

Simplicity, light weight, fast separation, easy to use, iron volume, deep all metal mode. After 4 years of pounding a site with all the great detectors , to find over 100 targets mixed in or next to iron it changed the game for me. Targets are now few and far between waiting for the next challenger. Who will it be??????????????? We should know very soon. Long Live My King.
 
When the F19 came out there was allot of questions of why and how. Is it a repeat of other design?
It seems you have validated the design as the next best thing for on masking in iron.
Congrats!
 
Cool! Its a good testimony from a guy who has really worked that dirt with a lot of other gear...! :please:

Unit at first never got the credit it deserved. Things are changing now. Machine likes mineral too better than F75/F70. And the tone break is a big bonus!!!

Your stamp of approval is like Gold for Fisher................ :thumbup:

Sure would like to see some pics of your finds.......
 
Like both. Sorex has a learning curve the 19 does not.
 
I just bought the F19. I have found many targets on a site I have pounded with my f70 and Minelab explorer. Went there tonight to see what the f19 had. 1856 seated dime 1891 Indian and a very full pouch of brass. The Indian was about a foot deep and sounded clear. Very impressed!!! Great first hunt
 
curious how does this compare to say the deus in iron recovery speed or the vista gold? or whats the secret to its enhancements?

Compares very well with the two you mentioned for speed in iron. But I find it to be effortless in picking out good targets in and around iron. I walked that plantation with the Deus, RTG1000 and Smart to name just a few. Targets started to drop off. Then along comes the 19 and I find over 100 flat buttons, 2 nice silver coins and misc. Non- ferrous. If I had only found a few new targets that would be expected. But the shear numbers makes it a game changer for me.

I hunted with a guy with a Deus today. We were comparing signals. I could hit every signal he could. I would say very comparable.

Except for the price!
 
So how close is the F-19 to my all time favorite Gold Bug DP? Both at 19khz, look the same etc. I also have a racer in hand, My "litmus test" is a very small front yard at Mom's 50's era house. Thought I had cleaned it out with ML's but the GB DP popped out another 14 coins. I've been skunked for 2 years with my Deus and Vista Smart (your old Vista Woodchip) now the Racer is up to bat but I'm looking at the F-19 to try also.
