Just picked up a used F2. Previously was using an Ace 150 and have used an Ace 250 briefly. Here are my initial thoughts:
-Depth is on the low side. My deepest target was dug at 6" but most targets came from 3-4". This is using both the 4" and 10" coils.
-It does not like large metal objects nearby. I get terrible chatter and falsing when I come anywhere near large metal objects such as playground equipment. I really need to figure out what the problem is here as I never had this issue with the Ace and it is really hurting my available detecting range.
-It is very fast and processes targets twice the speed of the Ace 150.
-It is very lightweight and is very easy to swing.
-Target Identification seems to be very accurate with 1 exception: Crushed aluminum cans kept reading as "Dime" in the 76 range. Specifically coins were VERY accurate. The F2 identified the coin correctly every time I dug one.
-Pinpointing is extremely accurate. I realized right away that my plugs were very small and I was digging my targets in the first shot every time! Honestly, this is reason enough for me to use the F2 over the Ace every time.
