Fisher labs is back! !!!!!
DelawareDigger in Middletown, DE< USA -
The f-75 was worth every penny i saved up to get her! I sold a couple heavy- outdated units and couldnt believe how light this baby is! Even with a 10 inch DD coil. I now see why everyone wants one. This baby is soooooooo sensitive for both relic and coin! especially in the jewelry mode! Deepest disk mode I ever used. As soon as I heard David Johnson was involved with this I hoped he could help fisher get back to their glory days of the CZ + 1265-66 era- when they was #1. This detector has the potential to put them back on top. I had to wait as they was on back order- but right away i began pulling tiny items out of spanked to death sites! Deep as I want to dig is best way to describe. Had it working well on the beach to.
Not sure why this site lets people make false posts below? One dude in FL posts twice- why is that allowed? Shouldnt it be 1 per person? Maybe I'll post ten 5 star reviews then. The only other guy who disliked the F75 showed his obvious ajenda by telling people to buy a a Tesoro instead:( Overlook the adjendas and try one for your self! Or maybe you shouldnt or every site might be hunted out soon!

Simply one of the best I've ever used...
Mark in NC in North Carolina -I've used a lot of detectors over the years, and all of them had something good to offer. The problem was that generally none of them offered "everything". It's a big game of "give and take". The F-75 thus far has offered the most "complete package" for me. I'm a old coin hunter, and clad shooter.
Here's what the F-75 does that I like:
*Light weight, ergonomic design = less fatigue
*incredible battery life on 4 AA's
*Backlight
*Great depth and target separation
*Large display with great user information (depth, ferrous levels, battery level, TID, quick reference icons, etc.
*Trigger for pinpoint and Fastgrab ground balance.
*VCO type pinpointing for quick and accurate target location.
*Notching system for notching out unwanted items, and notching in items below the discrimination level.
*Great in iron! I've dug less unwanted iron with this detector than any other.
*I love the different process modes for different conditions/needs as well as the multitude of different audio modes.
I have found the F-75 to be an outstanding high performance metal detector. I've already dug 3 rings with it, as well as several old coins from my hard hit sites. I've not ran into the issues the folks giving it "1 star" have, so I don't know if they have an agenda or were genuinely having some isolated incident. However, I like it! New hobbyists be warned: This is a HOT machine! It's like a high performance sports car... if you always keep the gas pedal on the floor board, you're gonna have problems! (However, the horsepower is there if you want it!)

not for me
john in broward fl -
i think that 2 weeks was ample time for me to decide that i did not care for this detector.maybe this is geared more towards relic hunters. and not a park and beach hunter like myself. other than the unstable noise making that others had. i had a real problem with bottle caps that sound and register as quarters. even in bottle cap process many still sound good .this is alot of extra digging on dry sand of beach. there were many other quirks that icould mention but will leave it at that. for me the 3-d and edge are much better for my type of hunting.hope i have offended no one but this is only my opinion.

Very Nice, Very Capable......Hot!
David North GA in SouthEast USA -I like it. A very powerful and capable machine. Unbelievably fast response time/speed, killer target seperation, very light and ergonomically pleasing. Super battery life w/4AA's. I use reachargables. I sold my CZ70 to purchase my F75 and I don't regret it. The CZ is dated and heavy, a great detector but.... When the smaller coil becomes available for the F75 I don't think there will be any other detectors that can touch it.
PS For the unbelievers and new owners if you want a silent search machine your going to have to back off the sensitivity until you adapt. I'll bet you don't keep the reins pulled back on this work-horse long!!!

not a cz-70
J.p Devereux in Houma La -
your right on robert, i did not want to tell anyone that i just spent a thousand dollars for this piece of junk. it is like my tejon if sensitivity was full on and inside of my pickup. wow. je process unuseble.i only hope that someone will buy this thing from me so i can buy an mxt. you know stable finds things with out all the noise. some say thats because its so sensitive. but hard to hear faint signals with all the noise.i should have gone with a local dealer so i could have try before buy. well we live and burn. another life lesson. if you want a deep machine that pulls good targets from iron buy a cibola and save the rest of your money for gas.

Hype
robert nead in fort myers -Chatters to much. very much hyped depth. 8-10 inches on coins really bad factory service. flimsy build . Cheap faceplate. Hard to believe that this was made by the same guy who made the MXT. The only detector i have had to send back in 22 years of detecting. and they say its working properly. This detector is total junk. try again fisher.

Total b.s
robert nead in west palm beach fl -I cant believe we are talking about the same machine here. My f-75 was the complete opposite. Unstable and about 8 to 10 inches on a coin, not 15 but in all fairness I did use a ruler. Sent detector back to first texas. Took 2 weeks to return only for them to say it's working properly. I still could only use if sens was turn down to 10. and had no depth in FL soil. Worst detector I have owned in 22 years. Many others are having same problems. But for some reason you do not see this on the forums. If you are thinking of buying one please do yourself a favor and demo first.
