.....the debate over which detector "kicks butt" over another detector has gone on for years. And it's much like on the gun forums where guys are constantly debating which firearm and ammo is best at taking out a bad guy (BG). But guess what? Telling like it is goes like this - if you know how to use a firearm skillfully, you can take out a BG with a .22 pistol. Just like a skilled detectorist who is very familiar with his particular (any high quality brand detector) will "kick butt" over someone who doesn't know their machine very well. Personally, I've watched a guy use a Fisher and miss a ton of civil war relics that weren't deep in the ground at all. In fact my buddy cleaned up a civil war era fort with a Tesoro Golden Sabre II over the guy who was using a Fisher. And this guy was supposedly a "skilled" detectorist. So what conclusion does one come to on that? Either the Fisher metal detectors really suck or the guy has no clue how to use his machine. And I personally don't like that Fisher F-75. I was at a large organized popular hunt and this guy was going around without headphones on with that F-75 and it sounded like a flock of geese honking and tonking, very annoying as far as I was concerned. I'm just telling like it is too and don't mean to offend anyone. Just my opinion.
