As a brand, Fisher is generally respected and known for durable, accurate metal detectors. The discrimination settings on its detectors are outstanding, even on lower-priced models. Thanks to this model’s computer-assisted ground balancing, it can sharply reduce false positives even in very salty or metallic soils.
The display and controls are as streamlined as possible and prioritize ID and discrimination settings. The 2-tone audio notification works well to let users know when they’ve stumbled upon a potentially valuable find. With 3 search modes and 99 target ID segments, you can track down gold and other precious metals faster than ever.
Some users report struggling with the control buttons and various functions, despite the clear screen. Since the depth information is not clearly displayed on-screen, it can be tricky to figure out how deep you need to dig. Overall, most reviews of this detector are positive once the owner gets used to its limitations, and it is less expensive than most gold detectors.
Pros
- Clear screen with adjustable brightness
- Good customizable modes for this price range
