Here a web site I ran across that compares the fisher machines I was shocked for them to say the edge was on par with the explorer for depth

[Keith Southern]

The key to the listings in the "mini-reviews" is as follows:



ERG - ergonomics - ease of use, set out of controls, etc.

WB - weight and balance.

DP - the depth potential of the machine - bare in mind that this varies with the amount of mineralisation in your soil.

ID - iron discrimniation abilities.

RR - recovery rate of the detector - faster rates lead to less masking.

AR - score for use on arable land - an average of stubble and freshly culitivated values.

PG - score for use on pasture and other grassed areas.

BH - score for beach use - an average of dry and wet sand use.

AC - accessory coil availability.

Coil listing: C = concentric / WS = 2D wide-scan.



The ratings are basically a mark out of 10, which equate with the following descriptions:

1 - poor.

3 - worse than average.

5 - average.

7 - good.

10 - excellent.

Heres the website http://www.detectorpro.co.uk/fisher.htm

They need to update the coil rating on the F75 since the small coil is available now.

the T2 did well in rough furrowed plowed fields but no better than the Edge. They both falsed on iron at high sens settings but the falsing was much easier to deal with using the ID Edge. Better clues in the audio as to what you are dealing when using the Edge!
Also the iron disc setting does not affect see-thru on the Edge whereas the T2 needs to be run at a small iron nail setting and in single tone mode for best results. The PF mode single tone "beep" has virtually no audio clues on the difference between an iron false and a non-ferrous target. For those use to single tone machines at low disc settings, that is not really problem since you are going to investigate every "hit" at older sites anyway but if you are strictly a tone ID machine user the Edge should be your weapon of choice in freshly plowed fields!

Note to Fisher: Update the user interface on the Edge and reintroduce this amazing little sucker!

They have some tough conditions over there and have most of the detectors sorted out pretty well.
In fact, if a detector is well recommended by the majority of Brit users - then it's a lead pipe cinch in my book.

That's not going to happen. There still not a good seller for them. I still have ID Edge's with Lifetime Warranty's, and it hasn't developed a rush in sale for them, how foolish. For certain the new Fisher isn't going to bring them back in a re-designed package, I wish they would. It certainly was one of their better operating units.

On that UK testing, I would take it with a grain of salt.

especially with the F70 being in a similar price range we just can't expect it to happen. The F5 from what I have heard isn't even close to the Edge perfomance wise... will the upcoming Omega come close??

Well, they sure enough like the T2, from what I read.

On the tester with a host of intangibles. Such as operators abilitires, mineralization, and personal preferences. Surely all aspects are ballpark at best but thanks for the info.Never can know too much about this hobby..Gosh I would love a hunt in England perhaps in my next lifetime...

 

[jmaryt]

you are correct!..a lot can be learned from the brits abot hunting fields!..their history pre dates ours by hundreds of years,however you have to be careful WHICH ones you listen to though,as they like drinkin' beer at room temperature!..never really trusted that myself!..not sure why!...(he he he!)

I have had the 1212 , excel ,CZ-6 ,Ace 250 As for me the edge is the best detector i ever had here every time i go on a hunt it never lets me down

Actually, beer is intended to be consumed soon after fermentation is complete. It is a product of living elements, and musn't be allowed to go on too long. It isn'tat it's best, held for years in sealed, near-freezing containers. That is a modern development within the industry, a way to get the product to vast numbers of consumers over along period of time.
The best beer is produced in small batches and consumed at cool temperatures - not cold, not warm. It has more flavor and body that way, and is far and beyond the average bottle of beer. We are just accustomed to ice cold Bud because we've had a century of that being available.

Head to your nearest micro-brewery and ask for a pint of whatever was completed within the last 3-5 days. That's beer.

 

[jmaryt]

very true as i am familiar with the history of proper ageing of beer!..i should have been more specific in the point i was trying to establish and that is that beer "consumed" at "room" temperature,OR 'warm" will 'affect" you faster and for a longer period of time than beer consumed at a cooler ,or cold temperature,thus impairing one's judgement more quickly,and in an adverse manner!....thanks for the input!....(lol!)
