Took off for an hour and went to a lake that is about 10 minutes from home and fired up the Fisher. First impression of the Fisher was that it was not on as it is so quiet and a tad on the heavy side compared to the Seahunter. Notched the discrimination half way as with the volume control which is a great feature. Coil is larger and the wire to the headphones appeared to be much more rugged. Have Rick from Sweetdreams Detector hooking me up with an extra battery pack (one in it a tad finnigy) and a hip mount. For the pleasant half hour that I used it it was a joy and doesn't chatter or fad in and out like the Seahunter. Managed 13 coins at 39 cents, a dinkie and a religious medal thingie. Overall first swish was a success but from the reviews I'll limit it to fresh water and leave her home when I go south this winter! Any help or advise on operating this non Garrett appreciated!

I have use mine in salt water, when stationed in Hawaii. chatters a lot when near shoreline. Salt in the crashing waves give false signals. For deeper targets it is hard to beat a PI machine, but you have to dig everything .. foil.. nails .. bobby pins ..etc. the fisher would discriminate most of those out .. as for Hawaii .. they get a lot of tourist from japan who lose a lot of platinum rings you have to dig into the foil range to get those. ....good luck Report this Post to the Staff
