Metal Detecting: Fisher Research Labs F11 Review

[@fisheyeguy]

Man I just love your reviews. So thorough with everything. I feel like you can sit down and watch a bunch of your videos and get an excellent idea of what you want.

[@thehuntergt]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate that.

First Texas does a great job in putting great separation in their detectors. I've got a Teknetics Omega 8000 and it has great separation with crisp sharp signals. That's the main reason I like it. That F11 looks like it would be a great machine for beginners or for anyone who likes to hunt tot lots and parks.

[@thehuntergt]

They sure do...almost all of there detectors have a fast recovery speed and very good on separation. Great for a beginner or as a loaner/backup.

[@joepalmateer]

My first detector was the F11 I found 2 1800’s IHP’s with that little bugger along with a pile of wheats and a few silvers. I ended up putting a Cors Scout on it and it made a huge depth difference.

[@thehuntergt]

Sounds like it did the business as a starter machine. I have the Nel SS for it....might have to slap it on there for a couple days out.

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Wow this is deep for a 7 inch coil. and the tones are really clear on it as well. for the price what a great entry level detector .

[@thehuntergt]

I love that coil. Same size as the Teknetics Digitek but with a screw on connector this time around. Fisher tones are some of the best for my ears. Thanks for watching Dan!

[@dannywilliams3516]

Don't know if you're still out there anymore or not hunter. But if you are just wanted you to know that a lot of us out here are still thinking about you and wondering how you're doing. Hope you had a very merry Christmas and have a very wonderful new year. Be safe my friend. May you be blessed with good health in the coming year!

[@DiggingCanuck]

Still watching but had to say that looks and sounds like a great beginner detector - tones are really nice.

[@thehuntergt]

I have always loved the First Texas tones....nice and clear. Thanks for watching!

[@IDGARA]

I was impressed by it's recovery speed. That would really help the beginner who may not of mastered Low and Slow. If I was just starting, I would consider it. Heck it might even be good as the detector you leave in your car for those spur of the moment hunt

[@thehuntergt]

Not bad at all, that is for sure. A nice decent speed to get the job done. It's pretty tough to beat as a back up or starter machine for the price. Thanks for watching brother!

[@puntarski8789]

Can someone tell wich detector to buy in 300 euro range ? Just starting but dont wanna buy some crap if there is some model that stands above others in that range

[@nickhaas2407]

Nice detector for well under $200, and a super warranty, just wish it had a target ID number.

[@thehuntergt]

Love that warranty on it. F22 will be up next. It adds ID - weatherproofing - and a bit more to the table for a $60 increase.

[@saintjason]

I used to work for Fisher back in 1992 in Los Banos, CA when they were part of Cohu. I was in the shipping department. I probably touched 1000's of different detectors. I had a 1266-X and a Gold Bug. I may get back into the hobby.

[@DiggingIowawithCoinboy]

Man I wish I would have gotten this when I started out it looks awesome for a newbie! Also that’s some SERIOUS depth for a 159$ machine with a 7 inch concentric and awesome recovery speed!

[@thehuntergt]

Great detector for the price. A excellent starting point for somebody who is just getting started and not even sure they will enjoy it.

[@bjsexpress]

Getting ready to spring for the F22... your reviews are great. For my $220 bucks, get the F22 or other brand / model ?

[@thehuntergt]

Appreciate you watching. It $220 is your hard limit...yes. F22 is a good starting point detector. At 254 you have the Simplex....which is significantly superior.

[@saturninoautida2114]

How to reduce meniralization sir, thanks

[@thehuntergt]

Impossible...minerals are minerals...there is no way to take them away.

[@KindaMean76]

is it waterproof?

[@thehuntergt]

Nope.

[@alicokgenimain8749]

Can we connect headphones in fisher f11?

[@thehuntergt]

Yes.

[@PAPAROUSwhatsinthedirt]

Dang for the price that is a great little detector for beginners a spare or loner!!!

[@thehuntergt]

I agree Papa. Fisher sure knows how to hit every price point for their customers. Not bad at all for $159.

[@abo-abdrhman.41]

Hello, how deep is this device looking for in the ground? Thank you

[@thehuntergt]

6-8 inches in most soils.

[@bassingwithawesomejohnson3202]

Killer intro,!,, great review .. Looks like a solid machine!!!!! Great Job Huntergt!!!!!

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks brother!

[@grega5059]

Nice detector for the price! Maybe a backup detector?

[@thehuntergt]

Yeah for sure...be a great loaner or backup for somebody. Always good to have a spare in case the big boy detector has issues.

[@Batusaai]

Thank you very interesting question which is the best detector in the range of 500 to 1500 that is water approved AND rechargeable, thank you, it would help me a lot with your opinion 👍

[@thehuntergt]

The Minelab Equinox and NoktaMakro Anfibio in my opinion. Very good detectors. Thanks for watching.

[@thegallowsdetectorists666]

Hi there , looks a good machine for the price tag ! and seems to perform well to , looks like First Texas has another winner ATB & GL Rob .

[@thehuntergt]

They sure have the low to medium range covered. Looking forward to seeing their next big bang. Thanks for watching Robbie! ATB

[@TheMrjogas]

[@riyazahmehd7340]

Hau mach indian currency please retain tell me

[@FindingAlabama]

Impressive!!!

[@thehuntergt]

Not bad at all for a $159 detector!

[@metalafdetecting2222]

Nice new intro

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks!

[@carlhewitt899]

Great review, covering all bases 👍

[@jhwk9575]

I think I’d buy the Simplex over this and spend a little more cash.

[@thehuntergt]

Saving an extra $90 is not an option for some people. If so...they might as well save another $90...and then another $90...and then another...
