Thanks Mike Hillis

[Tasrog]

Hello all,
As the title says first off I would like to thank Mike Hillis for all the info I have managed to scrounge from reading this as a guest and from other forums I am a member of. I have only had my F5 about 10 days but have progressed a lot further with it than i would have without the info from Mike.
As to the F5 I love it. Love all the settings possibilities and now that I have moved the cuff back ( I am 6'5 and found it nose heavy with the 11" DD in the original position) . Only one dislike is the stand. It falls over far too easily for my liking so I reckon I will be making one out of a piece of 4 or 5 inch PVC pipe real soon.

Yep. Mikes knowledge and info helped me for years. The F5 is one fine machine I enjoyed for 6-7 years. Sven keeps all that valuable knowledge on his Fisher site, so he deserves a pat as well.F5 Tips and Tricks at the bottom of the page.

I've got a f5 also and I love it. Keep learning new stuff all the time , last time out I set it on 4 tones and notched nickels and found that I could pick small sharp signals between the low tones then focus on narrowing down my search on the high tones , found one wheat penny,one Canadian penny dated 1948,one clad quarter and one copper penny. What's amazing is the area we were hunting we've hunt at least 100 times before and thought we had cleaned it out. This was all within about a hour of hunting.your right about tipping over, that is a problem, thanks for the PVC pipe idea.
