I have 1 question ... Are the new fishers going to have a transferrable warranty? Fisher would take a lot of business from other companies if they offered a transferrable warranty..

I do like the mx5 and yes its deep and fast its a digital remake of the mxt and mxt pro .. I believe dave johnson was lead engineer on the mxt series he left and went to first texas and im thinking he was also lead engineer on the f series detectors .. If this is the case that explains to me why i feel there is alot of similarities between the f75 and mxt For me the balance and light weight

To be honest my f70 is a beast and tops or equals my minelab etrac on every hunt.. Fisher has better balance and easier controls than most others do.. Depth is really great and i dont have any emi issues Just adjust it til it quiets down and im good.. Great detector I use it alot more than my etrac now.. I will buy the new f75 and run it through its paces I like fisher but im not brand lo

Is that only in uk that it shows backorder? I didnt see any thing listed anywhere that even suggests the new f75 version is going to be available.

I have noticed that if i use an open screen good targets mixed with iron will read 34/35-47 down in that corner but use disc and target flutters in the good range. Or vice versa use disc and get an iffy signal that shows promise and use iron mask and suddenly the target jumps straight down to iron. Dig it and its a coin mixed with nails. Happens alot with me using etrac..not every target is goo

Etrac open screen numbers on the target at my brothers was 35-47,35-48,35-49. I got no numbers at all above that. Etfac said 100% iron. Tone was not smooth and clear .. I would have passed on the target. F70 had a good signal 3 of the 4 times around it. Target was a square piece of rusty thick iron and almost touching it was a wheaty. I tried smaller coil on etrac and diff settings. The target

Well ive used whites for so long and did ok in the nail infested yards and got the etrac and thought i was doing fine until the f70 came along. To be honest ive always found good targets in the nails but never this easy. Glad i took a chance with the f70.

I want your opinion ... I have an etrac and have 140 or so hours on it. 2 months ago i picked up a nice f70. I have the ultimate coil and a x8 coil for etrac and been using 11" f75 coil on my f70. I started finding quite a few good targets with f70 in yards ive went over hard with etrac. Good clear dig me signals. So i started testing side by side. No matter the settings or coil i have be

Ive never owned an f75 yet. Hoping to get the newest version this fall. The f70 is crazy good. I have an etrac too but the f70 holds its own and does better on alot of masked targets.. The Video show the f70 on an 8 inch deep quarter in my test garden... I buried my garden several years ago.... With sens on 1 and in de mode disc 4 tone 3h and thresh on 9 it picks up the quarter easily. If i turn
