Fisher F75.......VLF?

maybe i'm missing what your hoping for. Isnt most every detector VLF?
Did u mean is it multifrequency? I know its confusing when Mine-lab pins made up new words like "V-flex technology" on stuff to hide that its really just a single fequency. Maybe Vflex means buy our coils and pick us up when we tip over every second

I am not sure what it's going to be. There has been limited information given out about this detector. However...The first batch of field test F75 detectors are about to hit the market any day now. And we will start hearing the field tests in future magazines and posts soon so stay tuned and please buy from one of the forum sponsors as they are fine fellers!

Hobby detectors for coin and relic hunting are VLF (very low frequency and operate from a low end of about 3khz to a high of about 100khz) OR pulse induction OR a sub-class of pulse induction. If the coil is driven by a square wave voltage then it is multiple frequency such as the DFX, the Explorer series is a sub-class of pulse induction, and most of the others are sine wave driven (single frequency) designs.
There are no indications, anything leaked, that suggest the F75 is multiple frequency. Most likely from what little information has been leaked it is a single frequency machine very similar to the T2.
These detectors are mostly considered as general purpose detectors for relic and coin hunting. A major advantage of multiple frequency is they excel in situations where the user is going to hunt dry land and on beaches. A single frequency detector cannot be ground balanced to both dry land and a wet salty beach at the same instant in time.
Gold detectors operate in the 20khz to 60khz range and require other circuitry and adjustment to really excel in the harsh minerals normally found where nugget shooting is desired. This is an area where a PI (Pulse induction detector) shines. A problem with a PI is the analog type cannnot or do a very poor job of discrimination. They also excel for underwater detecting.
If the T2 is a prototype of an F75 and since it is designed by one of the very top design engineers the F75 should be a really top notch coin and relic machine. I have read that the T2 is also a good gold detector which may indicate the F75 will also do well for that purpose. The T2 and F75 are designed by the same engineer and have, as we know, very similar ergonomics.

I enjoyed reading this contribution from Cody.
I personally think that it makes a lot of sense reading between the lines I have had very simliar thoughts to his.
I have been resisting the urge to buy a T2 just incase the F75 is a better tool to use.
If the T75 is proven to be superior then I will have lost a lot of money by purchasing the T2 now unless its a second user one at the right price.
Have a nice day folks.Jerry.

Are you looking for a new/better VLF gold prospecting unit? The rumor is that the F-75 is going to be a strong performer in that area.

but sometimes they prove to be true. 
Dave has always found ways to make improvements over his previous nugget detectors designs.
