F series

[rick in mi]

Wow. Anybody out there still running these machines? I remember this forum busting with threads on a daily basis. I'm still running mine!! .... hhricknmi

Sure do.. I have the f-44 with a sharp shooter coil attached. Very good combo, very good depth too in my area.

Hi rick, yes still using my F70, I have had the 5 inch coil on for the last few hunts, working some trashy areas. Also using a couple other detectors ( At Pro and Legend), so those three sharing the load for right now.

Never ran a F series detector but just picked up a Tek Patriot
for a steal of a deal thru that company. I guess the Patriot and F70 are the same machine, just Rebranded. Heard they are really Sparky and can go deep. Picked up the Fisher and Cors 9.5x5.5 coils new. Hopefully can get out soon but it's SOoooo HOT out.
Hope all is Good with you all!!!

Loved the F 75, had 3, still have one, but hasn't seen any use for a while. Hmmm! HH jim tn

 

[Ronstar]

Still have my F75…… been resting since I started swinging the Legend. It will stay in my arsenal of attack detectors!!

I got a Patriot lately too, and splurged on the small concentric coil. That seems like it will be very useful.

I picked up one of those new Patriots also, always liked using the F70 , still can't believe they are letting them go so cheap, I paired mine up with the F75 5x10 DD, it kills it in the trashy spots.

I loved the Omega 8000 with its 10" concentric. My 5" coil finally gave up the ghost and died, but still have the stock and 5x10 coils for the 75. Like the 5x10, too. HH jim tn

F 70 here ,,

F75 LTD here. Used it recently to trace a buried power wire that goes to a shed and to sort a pile of pennies between zinc and copper. Nearly all of my detecting is salt water beach now so it doesn't get used like it used to.

Been running my F5 since 2014, can't see any reason to change, it does it all.

Still using my F75 75th Anniversary edition and Anfibio. Been thinking hard lately about maybe adding a Manticor to the arsenal.

Better KEEP THINKING HARD about/before doing that!

I hear you loud and clear. I should have kept my Eq. 800. Sold it during the Winter w-the intention of buying another later that following Spring. That never happened so I just feel like I'm missing out. My Anfibio and F75 serve me well.

Still running f-70. f-75 and garrett at-pro. F-70 is my go machine in most cases.

I am curious as to why?

Read the various reports on it from many users---also---the unavailability of coils (other than the 11" stock coil).
