All kind of related, the same core engine runs all of them but there are some features and programming differences.
I prefer the Fishers.
The smaller iron section and expanded higher sections seem more logical for me to use for hunting coins and especially jewelry.
I have absolutely no problems hunting in iron with that smaller iron section either and have learned to pick through and avoid most of it in infested sites, target and dig it if I want to, (I do like digging up old pocket knives which are usually iron signals), but I am not a relic hunter.
I could see for ID'ing some buttons or other iron pieces from others the bigger section might be helpful, for coin and jewelry hunters not so much.
Recovery speed, target separation and all the good stuff seem to be shared among all of them, and the power to penetrate the dirt too.
The Fishers can use concentric coils, none for the Technetic model.
I would miss using my elliptical concentric a lot if I couldn't use it.
The superior response, tones I hear and other things I came to experience hunting coins but especially jewelry convinced me there is a difference between at least that coil and probably other concentric coils and the DD's is an actual thing...I have used both kinds for hundreds of hours and I believe that and will continue to switch around.
It's not the pop top thing either, using concentrics in sites infested with those things is easy, effortless really, but there are techniques that we can use with DD coils that make it about 99% as quick and efficient to figure out most of them using any DD as it is on the concentrics.
The Fishers save settings but this is not a real deal breaker for most.
I love that on my F70, which does have boost by the way and not that I need to or do use it all the time, but I have 2 different programs I can switch to with a press of one pad.
The F75 has all metal, 2 all metal settings actually, and disc you can switch between but I can set each program up any way I want.
2 different disc settings, 2 different all metal settings, one disc and one all metal which is the way I usually do it...any way I want, plus I have full control over the threshold settings in both a metal and disc.
Not on the F75, the newer 85th anniversary edition anyway, not sure about the T2.
That might not matter to many but I have experimented with tons of different settings in the last three years and in some situations I believe the threshold level setting could matter.
I love my F70 because that is the one I purchased, used, learned to understand and got comfortable with...like a comfy old sweater or old pair of jeans.
If I would have picked up one of the other two and spent the same time with either I have a feeling I would be singing their praises just as often and just as loudly.
The F70 was cheaper than both top line versions of the other two, now with the classic and anniversary editions out there the choice is much harder.
All versions work well, some features matter to many, those same features might not to others.
I love what I have and don't miss what I don't, how can you miss what you never experienced?
If mine got destroyed I would probably still buy another F70 because we fit together so well but then again maybe not....that anniversary F75 is a great value.
Glad I am not in that predicament.
