NEW FISHER...WHAT IF?

What if the new fisher F75 is like a T2 but a lower KHz lets say in the 6.5 range so it would be more of a coin hunter. Or two freq but you can use them seperate if you want. It it would be like the next step for the T2. I am sure the F75 would be as fast as the T2 and as deep and do as well at unmasking iron. Now that would be cool.
 
Choice of frequencies would be very important.

If it were limited to two frequencies I think you would have to retain the origin 13 kHz., for it has proven so successful in terms of target sensitivity, and efficiency, even in poor ground conditions.

It would prove interesting if Dave Johnston could work his skills into producing a multi-frequency unit, whilst retaining the T2's fundamental design philosophies.

As you have suggested, a shift down to 6 kHz would home in more on the slightly larger coins/artifacts, and probably provide a more linear discriminatory characteristic.

White's XLT is a fine example of 6 kHz frequency
 
Well it would be about time to see someone take the next step and beyond. I would have to have the F75 if it had multy freq you could control and be as fast and deep and unmask like the T2. Fisher would set the market on fire...But from what I have seen in the past I don't think so. They don't realize we get older and our knees and arms start to give out sooner and the new generation is not as into detecting as the baby boomers in America. There are too many laws protecting parks and schools and people don't like you hunting on their land.

So come on most of the guys that design these detectors are fifty years young. Why not let us grow old and have what we want???
 
It is the lightness combined with the sparkling efficieny that makes the T2 so attractive. Even if in some way it doesn't please you, you can live with it for its other virtues.

I have in my time used a few detectors (No where near as many as my mates), but I can honestly say that Dave's machine has proved that there is still some mileage left in 'balanced induction' detectors.

Detecting by magnetic coil induction appeared to be 'at the buffers', but along comes Dave Johnston with the T2 and Alain Loubet (of France)who designed the Goldmax. They both have restored the balance of trends back into to the single frequency domain.

To we who are growing old in the body as well as the hobby, these lighter, more efficient detectors are 'heaven-sent'.

So while we are waiting for Spring and the F75, take care and keep well............MattR.UK
