Lightest deepest Fisher

What is the lightest DEEPEST Fisher for relic hunting out there..I got rid of a 1266, that intimidated me in iron country..Went to a Tesoro Vaquero..The 1266 I have to use seems to be deeper in the field than the "V".I like it better in iron than the other one... However it weights more than the Vaquero and wears me down There is one site that may date from the 1880's, and also predates that period , going back into prehistoric copper Indian artifacts.So, I want better depth than the 1266, and the lightness.(if possible)of the Vaquero, and as few gimmicks as possible.The unit goes beep, I pull up the back hoe. Within the range of the detectors, weight and simplicity are the main considerations,Depth may be second...Since the very early sixties, I just counted ,and have had nine Fishers..Am not strictly a one brand only user..I want a detector suited to finding coins, near the top, and copper down a bit in the 9 to 15 inch range..that will not rip my shoulder off.. .Cordially Nad
 
Well you just described the F70.....lite..... not to many gimmicks....goes super deep....has a sweet little coil(3x6)....fast to work in iron....and a price that CAN NOT BE BEAT!!!!!! o 'YEAH...If you want a probe ,sunray makes a great one for it!!!
 
The F70 is one of the best and deepest. I have one for sale on the Detector Classifieds that you may want to check out.
 
Thank you all for your comments.I see people that want HONEST opinions about detectors..The interesting thing is that no matter what you ask, the opinions, or information ,are honest...As soon as Spring breaks, I am off to either find a dealer or, someone with a detector and compare all three, then maybe move into a CZ...Going to be 50 degrees this weekend.My Vaquero is getting a ten turn pot, so, Mr 1266 and I will check out the snow flattened grass areas..Saw a blurb about using two rock hammers to knock stuff out of frozen soil...Something new to try,.Again, Thank you, cordially Nad
