Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me start off by saying this is a good metal detector. It is very light weight, it only requires 2 AA batteries, and the VDI readout makes it easy to determine what you are about to find. The pinpointer works well on the metal detector, it was different than the one on my Whites. It only works while the pinpointer button is held down on the Fisher. It has good depth, I have found Pennies at 7 inches, dimes at 6-7, quarter at 8+. I have found it reacts faster in relic mode than in coin mode. The depth gauge is fairly accurate. Pull tabs ring 35, and 44 on mine so I have learned to leave them be. Buried aluminum cans sometimes show up as dimes and quarters, But the numbers jump around instead of holding the same number So you can learn to identify them. Its an excellent metal detector for the money, it has several features you don't usually get on a metal detector in this price range. The coil is waterproof and the control head is water resistant. It has a VDI readout and a depth indicator. It also has multiple tones which let you know a good hit without watching the screen all of the time. I feel like it is superior to many detectors in this price range, The Whites coinmaster, and Garrett 250 lack the VDI readout. Which I feel is important to determine what the detector is actually Seeing. And let you spend more time digging coins, and less time digging pull tabs and trash. You can buy a better metal detector, but it will cost more than $250. I feel like its the best detector available in the sub $250 class.
