Labs F75+ Metal Detector Bundle Package, Gold

I am very pleased with this F75! I've only got a few hours in running it, and am decidedly low on the learning curve yet, but already it is beating my other detectors by far! I'm getting clearer to understand signals on what is in the ground before digging, even an indication on how deep it likely is. I really liked the compact light weight of my Tesoro Vaquero, but my hearing is worsening and I'm missing some of the cues it gives through the sounds it makes, even with headphones. I was getting discouraged with metal detecting. A friend that is responsible for my being in this hobby shot me a SMS of this detector being on sale for $559. I remember how impressed I was a couple years back when seeing how successful a user was in Cobalt Ontario on the silver mine tailings. He was by-passing nicklean and cobalt and digging silver much much better than we were. Being local and having decades of experience helps, but his machine really gave him the edge. I googled his machine but balked at the ~$1200 price then. Seeing it $559 I pounced on it! No regrets at all! I've already dug dimes at 10", nickles at 7" and learned to be pretty darn sure of zinc pennies (but hear great targets can also read as zinc so I dig em). I've only had noise issues under massive power lines on a ripped up road that wasn't producing more than junk anyway so I'm giving it a 5 star score anyway. My buddy's Makro Racer is too sensitive to be used in town at all. I brought the F75 over to his yard and found stuff he couldn't. So seeing that I had a hotter machine, he bought a Minelab 4500. Still can't use it in his yard but I bet he digs more silver than I next week! I will likely keep this one forever, but am looking for a dedicated gold machine if I can get my buddy to head west towards gold instead of east toward copper and silver. I'll likely move on from the Vaquero if I can't lower the frequency (there are factory mods to raise the tones). Oh, for me one of the best aspects of the Fisher F75 is adjustability of the audio tone range!!!!! If your hearing is compromised, it is a fantastic aid. All the other wonderful features, like the visual display running in Discrimination mode while the spearker is in all-metal is just brilliant! My ears will hear it all, the tones will tell me whether ferrous or not and the display will tell me what it likely is. Nothing is perfect but this gives me so much more information, and fast easy variation from a flat menu structure, that I'm super pleased. All the reviews I've read/viewed on it have been very good too, even at the old high price. One may wonder if Fisher is just lowering the price to gain volume or if they've got a better machine in the pipeline, but that doesn't matter. It is a superb value just now and if you want a really fine multi-purpose detector with useful features, you could search more but not find better especially at this lowered price! Jump on one while you can, you'll be hard pressed to find anything to regret! Happy hunting!

Best metal detector ever ... Of course I believe that .. I have to, what else can I tell my wife after spending $600 ?? Oh, and also why I had to buy the F75 when I already own the F70. Is one better than the other? They are very similar and very difference .. the F75 seems a couple of inches deeper .. that is what it seems to me .. also, the F70 is a bottle cap magnet ... Something that is dealt with by personal experimenting but still you end up digging, cause the sound is just too good at times. The F75 has a BC mode, and while not perfect it is quite good. The settings a very easy to use, better than I thought would be the case. Yes, the F70 is very simple, for so complicated devices, as well. The F75 Hase a back lite panel and I love the as I do a lot of early morning hunts. Also, I bought my F70 nearly 6 years ago .. out of warranty .. I actually paid $150 less for the F75 than the F70 ... Also, this is the Special Edition with the New DST circuitry to combat EMT static ... That chirping and annoying clicking and false signals experienced when hunting in an area with high power lines, above and below ground. Loving both machines, now i am back under warranty and have a nice backup machine. Final word. The supplier was quick delivery and answered my pre-buy questions promptly. I would buy from them again. UPDATE: 05-11-2017 -- Searching areas already searched out (?) finding more coins. Operation is very similar to the F70 but with the prices on the NEW DST F75 having dropped I would suggest buying this model $500? A no brainer. The one complaint I have is that the grip on the handle is "foam" and it gets messy real fast and is impossible to clean. If you ever work a muddy field you grip will look like crap and when it dries out it will look like real crap. I had some experience with this type of grip on my F70 ad F2, same cheap water absorbing foam grips. On my F70 I cut the grip off and remodeled it with a 1/2" PVC pipe, a couple of screws and some black duct tape -- made It more like a pistol grip and not it is water proof and feels much better. Knowing this one irritating fact and seeing my new F75 with the pistol grip style it was still wrapped in this cheap foam. I had a roll of 2" heavy duty Electrical tape that I wrapped around this foam handle and it worked perfect, and I actually like the feel of it. Maybe Fisher will put a nice rubber handle on these one day? Small problem, easy solution. Advice -- I would not use the standard 1" or 3/4" plastic electrical tape -- I have seen this done and it is not long before that tape comes loose and looks terrible and it is still allows water to dampen the sponge grip. If you can find the heavier plastic tape wide enough so you can overlap for a good seal and remember not to pull the tape tight as it will compress the sponge grip and you will lose that nice pistol grip shape.

The pictures for this ad show the Special Edition detector...which this is not. It still has the DST, but no Boost or Cache. Additionally, this detector DOES NOT come with an adjustable armrest. Unless you want to drill your own holes in the stem, you are limited to adjustment of the armrest. I contacted Fisher about this, and they said they have not updated the literature to reflect the change in design. Overall, it's a powerhouse of a detector. Arguably the best detector at this price point.

This was my Christmas present to me this year. I had been wanting a Teknetics T2 for a long time and saved up for one. Then I learned that the T2 is tuned more for relic hunting and the Fisher F75 is set up more for coins and jewelry. So, since I mostly coin hunt, when this went on sale, and I bought one. It was well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. There are a couple versions out there. This one had a pin pointer in the kit, which tipped the scales in its favor. I put it together and found the firmware is the newest version. It feels nice for my hand and arm, is lightweight and easy to swing. I wanted to take it out right away, but wouldn't you know it, it was late and the next day, there was snow on the ground, and it was windy. A few days later, the snow was gone and I could get out and play a little. I was able to locate a few very nice signals, however the ground is frozen for now. Come spring, I will find out what treasures are waiting for me. The F75 is a turn on and go machine from the factory with plenty of adjustments for fine tuning. It will take a while to learn it all but promises to be an enjoyable adventure with a lot of fun finds to go.

Wow. What a good machine. Not for the beginner though. My favorite mid-range detector to date.

This is an update; on my purchase from a couple years back. I should never have given the single star with my review and now correct that, should have been three stars, being at least neutral. I have since taken a different road and given it to my 6'2" friend, who is more than happy with it. Therefore I change my review. Right out of the box I was disappointed! The unit is packaged for compact shipping which I totally agree with. I was excited that it had arrived and I was prepared - as a newbie - to do this right. My first metal detector and believe me I watched an extensive variety of detectors via YT videos to be certain I would get the most for my money. I decided this Fisher 75+ was an excellent model to begin my detecting adventures. As soon as I raised the main frame of the detector from the box I noticed a difference from the advertised image which also matched the image on the box it was packaged in, however, the unit lacked the holes necessary for adjusting the arm rest. The photo images I've seen - show the holes for adjusting, but my unit appears to be non-adjustable for a short arm person such as myself. When I placed my right arm into position as if to begin the swing from side to side, my elbow is positioned in the arm rest so my elbow gets the weight and balance but my bicep gets leveraged in the cradle, and I realized this doesn't feel right for me. Now what am I to do??? The unit is a work of art and probably operates like a fine tuned watch, but I already don't like the feel of it. Surely there is an option for me. At least if a 6'5" person sat inside a compact car the seat would position for comfort. On this point, I find it ridiculous for people to give poor marks for things like "I ordered the wrong one" or "decided this was to expensive". But this review doesn't fall into that category. I had no control over this design modification and I was not given any reference that it could be at all different than how it was photographically presented to me in the marketing advertisements. I'm not going to send it back because I still think I have every reason to believe this is the best detector for the money I've spent. But I can't help wondering how long it will be that I don' like driving this model and have full blown regrets. You might notice in the image I've provided, the arm rest is fully back as far as it will go and no holes for adjustment, as shown in the user manual, packaging image, promotional images, and even the YT videos I've watched - bummer.

Wow, light, doesn’t tire the arm, easy swing, and fast. Read the manual, if you have used others don’t think you know it all.. watched You Tube videos of comparisons to others and demonstrators did not real good results. I read my manual and discovers why. The Fisher F75 is very accurate and reads dimes to 18 inches in good soil, BUT you have to swing wide and fast. Don’t hover over a target in indecision. Swing shoulder wide, be aggressive, trust the machine. It can handle its circuitry is made tor this. You will be amazed at the ground you will cover especially if you set the F75 properly. It set to work out of the box for newbies. Experienced detectorists, without F75 experience, will find they need to change their search methods as described in the owners manual. Take the time to read it, you will be pleasantly surprised. This thing is very light and easy to swing. My 119 pound 5’2” wife liked it so much I had to buy another one for me. At 73, after forty years of marriage we have a new hobby that gets us good excerxise, fresh air and fun times together.

I asked an experienced metal detector guy what is the best metal detector I could buy for a budget of under $500. He recommended this one. So I bought it because it had good reviews and he said it was a good one. I knew it was a great choice, when I ran into other people with metal detectors and they were envious of mine. When Other people talked about how good it was, I knew I had made a good purchase.

Proper bit of kit, found some metal on the 1st outing, coins.. old ones.. happy

Took this out for the first time and tested it out on multiple types of items at various depths and it works perfectly as advertised!!! If your looking for a great metal detector to have fun at the beach or just having some quality down time this one will do everything you want and is very easy to use and amazingly accurate when identifying what's in the ground. This is my third detector over the last 10 years and this one by far is the best!

Bit of a learning curve but couple of hours and you will be surprised how it becomes second nature and easy to use AAA+ Few months on and it's paid for itself 3 times over, great Detector Found 100 year gold pendant and 110 gold sovereign Still looking

It is fakeeeee

Gerne wieder, alles top..
