So...........Why Are People Dumping F-4's ????

Well-known member
I'm starting to see alot of movement of them on the forums and the big"E". What's the deal? I should be getting mine tomorrow, hope it's not a big dissapointment!!! They are starting to go for crazy low prices used.
 
All I can say is I have had my F4 for about a month and I love it. Which is saying alot because it takes a real good machine to make me happy. Actually I am a Tesoro guy more than anything, but the F4 doesn't have to take a back seat to them. The F4 with the DD coil is a very good combo, plenty deep and accurate id. I just bought a 4" coil for my F4 but haven't had time to try it out yet. I am no pro but have been detecting for over 15 years with all makes and models and I will tell you - you did not make a mistake buying a F4. It is one sweet instrument. Steve.

P.S. In the little amount of time I have used my F4 I have found over $30.00 in change (2 silver dollar coins) and 6 rings.
 
I forgot to add that maybe some people that are getting rid of their F4's haven't gave them enough time to give them a good honest test. Some people compare the F4 with the Bounty Hunters and the Radio Shack 3300 - which the F4 is not, there is no comparison between them. I guarentee you will be amazed with your new F4, just give it a try. Steve.
 
I sold mine because I am going to be tied up for the next several months and will not be able to use it. No need for it to just gather dust. I think the F4 is a good detector and I intend to get another one.
 
I SAW A E.MAIL NOT TO LONG AGO---BOUNTY -HUNTER MAKES THE F-4.THEY HAD A PICTURE OF THREE DETECTORS #1--3300 MADE FOR RADIO SHACK #2 F-4 #3 THE TITAN!! THEY ALL HAD THE SAME CONTROL BOX---ALL MADE BY BOUNTY-HUNTER!!!! BOUNTY-HUNTER;FISHER;TEHNETICS THEY ARE THE SAME THING AND THEY ARE OWNED BY "TEXAS ONE" IN EL PASO TEXAS---CHECK IT OUT!!!!
 
I love the one I have. It is an outstanding performer for its price (and beyond)... It has more features and options than other detectors immediately below or above its price range, it also COMES WITH 2 coils! It's easy to learn too... what's not to like? It shares the control box housing with a couple of other lower priced detectors, but is much hotter, and has a true all metal mode... I know the processor speed is super quick, and paired with the DD coil, it has GREAT target separation...Not to mention, there's a really inexpensive 4" coil out there that can make it a terror in the trash... By the way, I checked and I only saw one inexpensive one for sell, and it went quick. I couldn't find any used ones on feebay, so it really doesn't look like many people at all are getting rid of them..

Just my humble opinion,
 
It's not the only thing going cheep,
MXT under $500.00
Tejon $350
Coin Strikes Under $500

Just to name a few, I don't agree with texgil, there is a big different in the 3300 and Bounty Hunter and F4. Haven't seen many on the Big E.

Like Mark says what's not to like? about the F4

One awesome little light weight detector The F4 is.

But I hope they keep go cheep, soon I'll have one for a back up for my F4 another F4 :biggrin:

Maybe, but not the same beast by any means. See for yourself get a F4 - use it then get a R.S. 3300 use it - then you tell me. Like comparing a Mercedes to a Neon (no offense to the Neon drivers). Steve.

The F4 "rocks" the 3300 well I won't go there. R.S. does have some good stuff m. tectors just isn't one of them.
 
I GOT NEWS FOR YOU MXT GOING FOR UNDER $500 BRAND NEW ,WHAT YOU BEEN SMOKING,AND COIN$TRIKE GOING FOR UNDER$500.FOR YOUR INFORMATION I JUST BOUGHT BOTH OF THEM BRAND NEW AND BELIEVE ME I SHOPPED AROUND FOR A LONG TIME.AND THEY ARE BOTH OVER $500!!!!!
 
I guess you been smoking, you didn't read the trend, I didn't say ANYTHING about NEW The subject ask why they were dumping f4 so cheep, (In Other words for you to understand a Used detector) My Reply was there not the only ones selling cheep.

READ THE NEWS BUD.
