Long time detectorist impressed with new technology

[Elton]

Fisher/ F75.................a truly new tech machine. Being a long time detectorist and getting used to same old technology, just refurbished from time to time over the years.IE: Bigger coils, lighter weight, Analog to digital, you know the routine.Anything to get us buying more, or "New" model detectors.

The F75 is truly a new tech machine...It appears to be a computer. on a stick....Superior response, depth, and smooth operating detector.

It's a different way of detecting, yet has enough similarities of the old style, "we",, set in our ways old time detectorist, can learn it pretty quickly with surprising results.It takes a little adjusting on our part, and you have to learn the sounds But Darn this is a nice operating metal detector.

So if you can accept change, allow a transition period, and realize new ideas do work..the F75 just might" Make your day"...

They belong to Bounty Hunter because they bought Teknetics in bankruptcy and
that included George's patents. All they are doing is making modifications.

Interesting isn't it..

George Payne descendants in the First Texas line are.....per my understanding, and I usually understand things pretty well.

F2-F4.....and most of the Bounty Hunter Line are Payne products descendants. The Teknetics T2..and it's descendent's, The Fisher F75 are totally new designs from the ground up.Dave Johnson and his team designed these detectors.
The only anything line in the F75- It borrows some of the T-2 Discrimination ideas. (Period)... Platinum Gold.."Greek Teknetics"-F5 are also completely new designs.
The F5 only borrows the Bounty Hunter Plastics, and some of the discrimination from the F70. It would seem these are completely new model detectors, and not borrowed ideas from anything other than the design engineers ideas and concepts. I am not going to debate this issue, but if it isn't true, then why would Fisher, and their Representative say it..There would be no reason in my opinion....I think we should all tip our hat to Dave Johnson for the remarkable F75.


The teknetics T2 was a total new design from the ground up.Not based on any earlier platform.The F75 is a major redesign of the T2 Platform with the focus on
higher performance and more features. The F70 is a major redesign of the F75 platform with a focus on simplicity.
The Engineers of the entire series was done by Dave Johnson, and John Gardiner.

The Fisher F4 and F2 are major redesigns by John Gardiner and Dave Johnson of Bounty Hunter platforms the ancestry of which is ultimately traceable to George Payne. The Fisher F5 is one of several new products which are variants of totally new platform designed by Jorge Anton Saad, John Gardiner, and Dave Johnson..

Search coils are not interchangeable between the various platforms. Teknetics T2 search coils are not interchangeable with those related to Fisher products
So I think we have new ideas, new products and i will stand by my totally new technology, and truly new machine on my prior post about the F75.

the latter which is not new. You need to ask why they added the confidence bar and iron Fe03bar.
As to processing visual & audio separately, I believe George did that at Compass.
Or you could look at it another way, Bounty Hunter OWNS GEORGE'S PATENTS, so if they don't
belong to him it could be said, in extremis, they have nothing to do with George Payne.

1. VLF ground balance
2. Motion mineral free discriminate
3. Target Identification
4. Depth reading.
5. LCD meter
6. Reading i.d and depth at same time.
7. Tones
8. Threshold in motion circuit
9. Auto ground balance in VLF mode.
10. Gain set by threshold in motion mode
11. Switchable ground filters [Compass could not get it to work on X series so they got George to make it work]
12. A Discrete tone for each i.d. number
13. A bleed off/on circuit to stop drift [different than auto tune]
14. Separate speed processing for visual and audio circuit.[Compass]
15. Bumping i.d. numbers up for deep targets [some detectors would drop them as iron]
16. Special design more efficient Wafer loop
17. First 3 filter detector
18. First detector to discriminate using 1 motion filter [not same as auto tune]
19. Auto switching by detector depending on ground between 1 and 2 filters, or the reverse
20. Discriminate mode being set manually by same pot used to set All metal
21. Auto ground balance that sets motion discriminate
22. Multiple sweep motion target identification [accumulate] for better target analysis
23. First patent on ground canceling & discriminating P.I.
These are just the things at Whites, Tek and Compass that I can remember. What he did after I'm not sure of.

I give credit where credit is deserved. I still remember when Hickory Valley sent me a 1260 to test out and I
hit places considered hunted to death, and pulled coins, and Civil War Relics out like they had never been touched.
(I remember thinking, " HAS JUST SET THE DETECTING WORLD ON FIRE, BECAUSE NOTHING WOULD
TOUCH IT WHEN IT CAME TO DEPTH, AND THE CONCEPT OF 2 DISCRIMINATE MODES WAS PURE GENIUS.")
They came by to see what I thought and I said "EVOLUTIONARY, BUY THE MAN WHO DESIGNED IT A NEW CADILLAC,
but it needs a pinpoint" to which they said it did not it was slow enough to NOTneed a pinpoint.
I took them to a neighbors yard along with a RB-5 and hit a PERFECT coin signal with discriminate turned up well
past tab, then I said, "watch this", and turned on the RB-5 went to pinpoint, and the detector NULLED.
Dave has built some GRAND SLAM DETECTORS, like the 1260, 1265, 1266, 1280X, Shadow, IMPULSE,
CZ, MXT, and Lobo super track & F75 ALIEN [and probably others also].
TO this day, my favorite detector is still my trusty old CZ which when paired with the 10.5" loop goes so DEEP the
pinpoint mode runs out of gas. I like the F-75 each time I use it which is every day, and the only problem I have
is the 11"DD, and no S.A.T. in STAT. If George could add that slight bleed on/off to the 1980's Teknetics,
surely Dave can do the same. And give us a 12" round concentric like the one designed by D-Tex which is
absolutely IMMUNE to electrical interference. I'll supply the loop. We need a serious coil for CIVIL WAR RELICS
and FIELD ARTILLERY PROJECTILES, and for really DEEP COINS on VERY OLD SITES or for CACHE HUNTING.

And what is Platinum Gold and Greek Teknetics?
Is the "Gold" part of the new Titanium Line?
