I wonder if FT had not just recently purchased Fisher would this detector still have come out,probably ,maybe? Maybe under the Teknetic name.. Actually they could have called it the latest bounty Hunter? F100... Only time will tell.. A lot of people will give one a try and as time passes we all will know more. Tests from people that have no ties with Fisher or FT could actually help more in some cases. Not All. I really think if it did not look the same as the T-2 more people would have thought better about it,although I understand the reasoning behind it..But looks can be deceiving. Don't judge a book by it's cover???? So they say.. They also say a tiger does not change his stripes??? just my thoughts...HH
