Howdy _ I've recently gotten back into using my detector with the purchase of an F2. It's a very good turn on and go machine, but now I need something a little more sophisticated. I settled on the F5 as it uses the same connectors for the coils and maybe I'll be able touse my F2 coils on the F5. I know they work on the F4. I buy my stuff from American Detectors in North Richland Hills, TX. Over two weeks ago he called the Fisher folks to ask about using the coils. They said they didn't know and that we would have to hook up our coils and see if they would work. He then went on the say that the F5's had been shipped.
This turned out to be an untruth - perhaps he misspoke. He, when he learned a customer was in the office, said they had been shipped. Four days later American Detector's got and email that seemed to indicate the same thing. They must have shipped them by Mule Train.
Two things about that day's experience bother me.
1. Someone who should know was unable to provide a technical answer and made to effort to do so and then get back to us.
2. With a paying customer listening this person lied when he said the units ordered had been shipped. It's been more than 10 days.
Questions- Will the coils from the F2 work on the F5? Have you shipped the F5 units to American Detectors 76180 ? I would prefer to buy from them rather than some out of state "LARGE IMPERSONAL" dealer. I'm really getting tired of waiting for the unit I want to arrive and am thinking very seriously about going to TESERO for my new unit.
Now is your chance to talk me out of it by making some straight-forward answers:
