Good to see your doing well in gold country. We have talked in the past. I have the Bliss V3 and it is the deepest rig i have used in my
mild soil up here in Mass. The only bad thing is the V5 and V6 came out very soon after i bought it. Oh well thats life.
I dont think i need the V6 since the new smaller coil is out , and will help in heavy iron.
So the question is do you find

If it comes back running as it should , my GB will be on the chopping block. As much as i like it
the FA mode could bump it out. I sometimes run the GB just to rest my ears.
Also with extended warranty , it might make resale more appealing.

In the day of the internet. Had they released the F 19 thirty years ago , placed adds in some highly circulated magazines.

In todays world the F 19 appears to be dead in its tracks a few months after release .
How could they let this happen , a big black eye for Fisher.

The F19 would have to be amazing in iron to give up the depth and have me thinking of " Upgrading "

I agree Arron , Not that deep , His was a XLT not the deepest thing but he is very good with it. Finding it in the middle of the tiny park was as impressive.
The only LTD vs the Bliss was a buried Quarter between 10 and 12 inches .
I did not measure because all i wanted to know was which machine could hit it.
The F75 could not touch it with any settings
The Bliss could hit in two d

In a field we have hit time and time again i found a Barber Quarter and a Merc.
Now i understand a coin can be missed many times in a big field.
What surprised me was finding 10 pieces of complete flatware all deep
one a thin silver spoon in a few short hunts and little time on machine.
With my F75 in boost mode i would be happy to find a few handles or spoon bowls
and in the field i
