Whats your favorite detector and why do you like it

I originally got the F4 to evaluate it for my Dad.   I expected it to be a good entry level machine, but I didn't expect to develop a real joy in using it.   The more I use it, the more I like it----especially with the 4" coil.   4" coil to 4" coil, I'll take the F4 over the other machines I use any day of the week.   When it comes to standard or larger coils, though, it is more of a coin toss between the F4 and the "more serious" machines, and I pick the F4 for convenience and weight.  I figure if I spend enough time hunting with this machine, it will sing to me (like it does with the small coil) no matter which coil I have on it.

BA

(by the way---Dad wound up with one of the other machines....a little older, a little heavier, but still a very good machine especially for where and what he expected to hunt)    Still haven't had an opportunity to spend the kind of time I want to on Tesoros,  but my next gold machine will probably be a Tesoro Lobo.

OH Lordy i've started something now
No one ever really talks of these machine and they are good I've got a pile of mags with all or most of the early machine,(not those type of mags KARL )
and apart from being lighter and a tweek here and there i don't think thing have moved that far, because the rules of physicis or how ever you spell that word .anyway they take over and what was the basic design is still there

NOW I've got on to Whites , I've found i want to spend my time detecting not trying to find the best program.
My MXT would be the only machine I'd use if i was going to an area that i'd never been to and i find that i can trust it as it always
brings home the bacon so to speak,It's made in the USA , now thats gotta have something in it as in quality, pride and logic
price included, bottom line IT WORKS .

Karl, Just let me know if you like that coil as much as I do. I think user reviews are the best way to spend my miney when I must spend it.

After review (on paper) of the Fisher F4, I found it a pretty dangerous tool, I wouldnt want to put my Bounty Hunter against it. its priced right, and has just the right mix of things to make it a all around general purpose machine.

Karl, the old silver coins and jewlry have eluded me, but I dont have a lot of time with the new coil either. You have any special setting for jewlry, or just dig it all? Do you discriminate even a little? Any old silver coin or jewlry? Thanks
