I was excited hearing that the F75 could be upgraded. But what I was hoping for was an upgrade to give the All Metal mode a multi-tone capability. Alas, no such upgrade is in the works.
I mainly use the All Metal mode when in the woods searching old cellar holes etc. Since there are no tones to tell me what the detecting is seeing in All Metal mode I have to keep my eyes
constantly on the screen instead of watching where I am walking resulting in several mishaps from hidden roots, rocks, etc, tripping me up.
Two weeks ago, on the Relic Roundup internet radio show, a representative from Fisher was on describing what the upgrades were all about. But what he also indicated was that he wished
there was a multi-tone mode in All Metal mode for the F75 and even discussed with other Fisher engineers what it might take to do such an upgrade. But he said likely there will be no such
upgrade since it would take a major re-work of the control box.
As regards the upgrades, I am still pondering if I should get the upgrades or just put the money towards buying a different detector and use the F75se and a backup. Don't get me wrong, I
love the F75se, it is a roaring sports car that you have to learn to control and tame and it will do amazing things for you. But as usual, most of us are always wondering what new and marvelous
machines are just around the corner and are affordable of course without having to mortgage the house.
