blew the dust off the f-44 and put in fresh batteries...... and away I went...

really due to lack of interest, but also ALOT of rain and rain and rain here in NE ohio I told myself what the hell and go out for a few hrs to detect. I picked a large playground adjacent to school thats been around probably 70 yrs. I've been to the playground I'm guessing 50 times over the yrs and always come home with a bunch of change. Arriving on site the grass looked like it hasn't been cut this season and was 5-6 inches tall .
won't bore you with all the minor talk, but whatever fisher did when I sent this back for a touch pad replacement... WOWZZER !! It really pulls out the coins out of the holes. The garrett pinpointer was just about buried full length on 90% of the recoveries. I am running a NEL sharpshooter on the detector too.

Thats the story.. Mark ( ohio )

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the F44 and it’s rainproof also I believe. Glad you had fun!!

Yep, it is indeed rainproof, a good plus for sure. I too think it is a over looked detector when guys are looking for a lower priced unit to purchase.
