- Metal Detecting
Hello all! I have been detecting for less than a year and I want to upgrade to the Fisher f44. i know its not the best detector out there, its considered a beginners-mid-range. But it will be a huge improvment to my little dectector (bounty hunter jr. I bought new for $80 ca.) Can anyone tell me their likes and dislikes of this machine if you own it? Also, I found this site with cheap new detectors.. www.metaldetector.com and it has the Fisher I want on there. Has anyone used this site? Is it reliable? This is what i want for my machine and it seems to fit all i want:
1. cheap on batteries (x2 aa) my little guy i have uses x2 9 volts and it cost me almost all my coins i found so i didn't earn much
2. light weight
3. disscrimination
4. water resistant/waterproof coil
5. detects up to 9-10 inches give or take
6. can have head phones
7. has number id + tones for different metals
Things to consider
1. how water proof is it... if I drop it in the lake by mistake will it die? (not planning to do a lot of water/beach hunts but still...)
2. is it better than the Garrett Ace 400?
3. can I get it under 500 bucks?
Any info on this machine I can get will be helpful. Thanks!
