I was given a 1972 Fisher Gemini metal detector. I haven't had much luck on the web finding one of these. Does anyone here happen to know anything about them? I don't plan on using it, but I am going to test it out to see if it even still works. Any idea on value of something like this? All I...
What all is your guys and gals experiences with the different metal detector companies in terms of warranty and service/repair? I’m a optics guy and if you own a Leupold or Vortex scope you’ll learn what real service looks like. Awesome no questions asked warranties and great service. Now I’m...
New, never used Fisher AQ Limited, a deep-seeking PI developed for gold jewelry, with both 11" and 8" coils, CF lower rod, Nimh and shorty OBN Li-ion battery with chargers for $1,800 $1,600 $1,300 Paypal F&F or +3% shipped to lower 48. This detector will go to Ebay if nobody in US wants it...
I'm looking for another Fisher 1270x or F75 as well as either a 1280x or a CZ-21 at reasonable prices. I prefer to trade for silver bullion, silver coins, or American Eagles.
Please let me know what you have, how old it is, what kind of shape it is in, and how much use it's given. Pics would be...
Howdy! :) This is probably a long shot but thought to at least give it a try. I've designed a metal detector that significantly outperforms anything on the market, and initially I had intended to merely use it for myself for a year or two and then sell the designs, but I would consider selling...
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...

Hello again,
OK I have been really enjoying my F44 but now my son want to go out with me. I let him try the F44 and he found some clad and totally wants to do it more. I only have the one the detector. So I was thinking about purchasing another.
I saw that the F75+ and the T2+ both have super...
OK…I’m new to all of this, I have only been out for maybe 15 hours, so I am as new as you can get. I like to research before I buy and as a beginner I ended up selecting the Fisher F44 as my first detector. So here is my first impression of the F44 and detecting in general.
I read the manual...
Very good condition Fisher CZ21
Used maybe a dozen times.
10 1/2” coil
Comeswith chest harness to wear the control box instead of swinging it.
Date of manufacture: 05/14
Last summer it was sent back to fisher to replace the coil. They did the normal service checks and calibrations and upgraded...
Im getting a lot of rain and snow out here so the rivers are all flooded. I cant get out so its this site and YouTube for now! I WANT TO SEE YOUR GOLD!! heres some of mine and my partners! :blob7:
Hi Everyone :),
I just started MD as a hobby. I've been reading a lot on the topic and have decided to invest in my first detector. I'm primarily interested in relic hunting and heard a lot about the Fisher 1266x. I know its an older model, but would anyone still recommend a used 1266x in 2017...
Hello all, I spent the last several days with a friend's old Bounty Hunter detector with a 10" concentric coil and truly enjoyed it. Was inspired after digging up a civil war era wagon wheel in my back yard, but the wheel axle is >1 foot deep in a flood plain and I could not detect it with his...
Hi, Everyone. I'm planning a return to leisurely metal detecting after taking about 20 years off. Previously used an Eagle II and had a blast.
I was surfing around and ran across a promo for anyone interested in some lower end detectors for kids or newbies. Amazon warehouse carries quite a...
I never did post up my Fisher 1235-x carbon straight shaft conversion. This detector was pretty much brand new and purchased by myself back in the day. Everything was sourced out and built by myself, turned out so well. Also upgraded form the 8" spider coil to the 10.5". so much better than the...
Heya everyone;
So I am having a problem with my Gold Bug II, she is 2 years old and very lightly used.
Whelp a couple days ago I noticed that the sheathing around the cable to the 10" elliptical coil was tacky, and then I noticed a split in the sheathing right at the box.
I used my detector...
Scrounged some money up and bought a NEL's Sharpshooter yesterday evening- should have it by Wednesday- stoked! Got it for $115 with free shipping from Colonial Metal Detectors. I've never used a non standard factory made coil but the NEL's sounds good. Cheaper than Fishers 5x10 and SEF EX...
Yesterday was my first day out in a while and the weather was great. I researched out an old pocket mined area that produced 2.2 oz to the ton in the 40's and hiked in and found the old camp and remnants of the processing shops. Just after spotting the pocket diggings and detecting into the camp...
Hi there! Im Pete. Live in Poland and hunt for around 3-4 months. Started with simple PI construction, passed through great Ace350 and now having F70. Mostly do the meteorite hunts but also like relic hunts. All the best from Poland!
Just ordered my new GB Pro. Cant wait to get it a swinging! Any suggestions for keeping pull tabs and screw caps dug to a minimum? For you users out there of the G2/GBPRO lineup, what vdi numbers do these items ring up as numerically? What do YOU DO to keep the digging of these to a minimum, if...
What is a more reliable detector the Fisher F2 or the Garret Ace 150 and If you have used any of the two would like your experiences while using it. Any info would be great thank you.
Just got back from vacation in Mexico. After leisurely hunt, $25 in coins (they use and lose a lot of 10-pesos coins there, roughly $1 each), a set of hoop earrings (amazingly, found both earrings in the water, within one foot of each other), an old toy soldier (gave it to the local), and my...
I hope this is okay to post this on here. I've had this metal detector for a year or two. I really need the money right now. all reasonable offers will be considered.
If you are in the SW florida area call me to come by and take a look at it. Doug 941.928.2764
Normally I would check the Classifieds but wanted to get the attention of the Fisher users here. My newbie friend has been hunting with me (I use an Etrac) and wants to upgrade to a DD coil for his F2. Anyone here have any extra DD coils for trade or sale? My friend told me he joined the site...
Hello! I have the Coil Detech 10x12 Inch! I want to buy Big Nel 15x17 inch or 12x13! It is a difference betwin them! Those coil are good or not? Or to remain on my DD coil!?:hello2:
Hey All,
Here are are the videos that some of you were asking me to do to show a true comparison of these 3 detectors.
I have to break this into 2 threads as I can only post 5 Videos at a time.
I live in NC so the ground has red clay and ground can be ok.
We made a test bed with clad coins...

I currently have the Fisher F2, a great beginner MD that even scored me a gold ring at the beach. We are starting to visit the beach more and I want to be in the water where the real treasures are. I mostly coin hunt at local parks and recreational facilities. I was looking at the Garrett AT...
Heya everyone;
I finally bought a metal detector last weekend, a Fisher Gold Bug Pro.
I may have said that I was not going to buy anything from Fisher because of some things I had heard about their customer service but I changed my mind thanks to the helpful words from TrinityAu. :)
All I can...
Hello All,

Here are the videos:
will be adding more to this video series with field tests and more.
I hope...
Me and Dale32 took our MDs out to a disclosed location yesterday. It started out average, a few dimes, pennies, quarters. Then out of no where we hit the jackpot. In about 15 minutes we found a total of 98 quarters! Can't wait to go back. Why do you think there were than many quarters there? Any...
