Metal Detecting: Short Hunt With the Fisher F44

[@MetroCollectablesandvlogs]

Thanks for sharing, i know this vid is old.... but I just bought a F44 today, so I am excited to get it in a few days.

[@edsmetaldetecting31]

Really enjoyed watching you hunt with the F44. The F44 really goes deep in finding stuff.

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks Ed...I'll be using it here and there coming up. Great detector that I am happy to be reacquainted with.

[@Asantadie]

Very good video, I am from China, I just bought F44 recently and I am looking forward to learning more from your video. Thanks again

[@thehuntergt]

Thank you for watching from China. F44 is a great detector. Make sure to check out the review video as well!

[@carpenterrickm3842]

Great video Hunter! ! ! I absolutely agree! ! A coil or a machine change can bring any site back! ! Cheers! !

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks Rick...glad you enjoyed it!

[@rickvann3489]

Lol... West Virginia must have a big bridge there. Yes it does, it's called the New River Bridge and every October they shut the road down so people can parachute off of it. A few have died trying.

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks for the knowledge drop Rick. I think I will pass on that one lol.

[@csherwood6552]

Looks like a Fisher man caught some illusive ones or just evasive coinage. Nice to see the F44 in action sir. Thanks for sweating it out for us.

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks for watching man. Was a hot and humid day on this one. F44 pulled through though....great machine.

[@sdesic]

It was hunted out for some detector. Maybe detector with different frequency doesn't see those things... and concentric vs dd... I know what I found when I changed to G2. Awesome machine and hunt Hunter. GL&HH!

[@thehuntergt]

Yeah, it's really strange how I can go back and pull a small handful of coins - some not very deep at all. Masking and angles play a big role on how one detector or coils sees an object compared to another. GL/HH my friend.

[@bravobob1]

Proves , no place is hunted out . Enjoyed watching. Thanks

[@thehuntergt]

bravobob1 Thanks Bob. No place is hunted out that's for sure.

[@loganschannel3262]

Awesome video thehuntergt can't wait for the next one!

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks man...I appreciate that!

[@loganschannel3262]

TheHunterGT you're welcome

[@knsmokey3968]

Hey Hunter! As always a GREAT video my friend! I 100% agree... if you can afford it several different coils for your machine & or detectors is a HUGE plus. :-) As PROVEN by this hunt. Until next time brother... GL & HH!

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks Smokey! Appreciate your support man. No place is hunted out! GL/HH my friend.

[@t-n-tdigger5384]

Hey HunterGT. Good short hunt. I like the tones of the machine. Some machines sound so obnoxious. lol. This one sounds sweet. Thanks for sharing. GL and HH. How is the Huntress feeling with her hand? All healed?

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks Eric. I really like the F44. You can set a tone option for each category like the Omega 8500...a feature I REALLY like on a detector. She is feeling a bit better but still in alot of pain. We are heading to an ortho doctor tomorrow to check the new xrays. It was a pretty bad break.

[@backcountrydiggers6347]

Nice hunt brother! I agree with every thing you said if you can get different detectors it dose make a difference. T-Hawk

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks Hawk! Different coils and different detectors can make a site come alive again. No place it hunted out!

[@jdhenry6300]

Hey Hunter. Great video. Hey , I have a f22 and have very good luck with it. It also goes pretty deep. However it just has a 9 inch coil. I've been looking hard at the f44 . Would it be better to just get a bigger coil for my f22 , or is the 44 a much better machine all around.

[@thehuntergt]

F44 adds ground balancing and all-metal mode. I never use all-metal unless gold prospecting...so it is not a feature I personally rely on. If you are getting good depth it sounds like your soil is fairly good. So ground balancing gains might be minimal. In rougher soils (high or low) F44 would likely be deeper than the F22 by an inch or two. I would personally get a larger coil. I feel moving to the F44 would be more of a step sideways (or diagonally perhaps) than it would be upwards.

[@brianpost904]

How does it work on the Canadian coins ??

[@thehuntergt]

No clue.

[@Detectingtheinvisible]

Thanks for the tips on setting the custom tones. I have a F44. I need more tips on the F44. Thanks.

[@thehuntergt]

Sorry just saw this! I will be having more F44 videos coming up in a few weeks. Stay tuned. Always feel free to contact me with ANY questions you have.

[@atticusyou]

Nice video, Hunter ! I almost bought this detector as my very first. I would have gotten it for $145 Canadian. Looks like it would have been a very good purchase :)

[@thehuntergt]

Man...that would have been a great deal. Hope it comes up that cheap again someday. Thanks for watching!

[@atticusyou]

Yeah, It was an older gentleman who regretted his most recent purchase. I was only a few days into researching detectors and thought perhaps another great deal would come along once I had a better knowledge!! Lol

[@djpapy5910]

I want to buy a deep detector. I stopped at 3 models from Fisher .... Fisher F5, Fisher F19 and Fisher F44. Which good choice ???

[@TennesseeAdventures]

Great video man. I've been using the Fisher f44 lately instead of my Fisher f22. What volume and sensitivity levels do you run it on?

[@thehuntergt]

Tennessee Adventures I usually run full sens and volume 10 so I don't hear iron.

[@TennesseeAdventures]

TheHunterGT Thanks for the help 👍🏻

[@thehuntergt]

Tennessee Adventures My pleasure!

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

I like your review videos as I am trying to get away from using my ace250. Looking for one that works well on beach sand better then the tracker iv. Any suggestions?

[@loganschannel3262]

The Garrett AT Pro works great on beaches. It is an expensive machine. But well worth the money.

[@thehuntergt]

No single freq VLF is going to perform great in the wet salt-water. You need a mutli-freq VLF, a PI, or a FBS machine. The Patriot smoked the AT Pro in the head to head video I did....so I will assume it will beat it on the beach as well. Only thing it has over the Patriot is the waterproofing...which obviously can be handy on a wet beach if you plan on going into the water. Neither will be able to compare to a CZ21 or the likes. However - If you stick to the dry sand you should be just fine with most single freq VLFs. Florida has very inert sand...so you will do better there than a West Coast beach that is full of minerals.

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

I guess for now I will use the tracker4 until I can afford a high end detector. I still am thinking on getting a teknetics just not sure on which one. Thanks for your reply and happy hunting.

[@thehuntergt]

Dan Anderson The T2 in my opinion handles bad soil better than most detectors I have used.

[@loganschannel3262]

Dan Anderson you're welcome Dan

[@digitalmixer]

does the f44 have ground balance?

[@thehuntergt]

Yes...manual and quick grab.

[@digitalmixer]

I love seeing your videos I love watching you and your family go out and hunt or actually you and the huntress I love all your reviews please don't stop and I hope your health gets better and you need to be there for your family always remember I know how it is take care and may God bless you

[@thehuntergt]

Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately we are no longer together after 18 years of marriage. No more videos with her will be posted.

[@digitalmixer]

@@thehuntergt oh my goodness please forgive me I'm very new to your channel and I was trying to watch all your videos and I was an updated I'm sorry for saying anything and if I offended you in anyway please forgive me

[@thehuntergt]

You did not offend me at all. It is no fault of yours for not knowing. I made an announcement/news video a couple vids back that explains it. No worries at all. :)

[@livewithnick]

I totally agree how you said because one machine finds something in an area where another machine had been but didn't doesn't mean one is a better machine than another. You see talk like that in the forums all the time. It's nonsense.

[@thehuntergt]

Very much nonsense. Just placing a different coil on the same machine can open a spot back up due to target masking and separation. I have a buddy with a CTX3030 who misses stuff that my T2 or Patriot finds....and vice versa. Very eye opening for both of us.

[@livewithnick]

TheHunterGT yep, same with my AT Pro,DFX,MX Sport,Classic ID and Quick Draw Pro. The Fisher F75,F19 or Technetics T2 is my next machine. Which of those do you think would be best for Relics? I want to try more First Texas machines.

[@thehuntergt]

For relics - the T2 is one of the best there is. My wife has the F19 and it rivals the T2 in everything but depth. Both have very fast recovery speeds, great separation, and great unmasking. T2 just goes a couple inches deeper. F75 is great for relics too - but since iron breaks at 15 instead of 40 like the T2/F19....I prefer it for coins and jewelry hunting since the mid range and high range is expanded. If I picked 1 of the 3 for relics...it would be the T2.

[@waynenorman116]

What is your favorite metal detector?

[@thehuntergt]

The T2 Classic is probably my favorite if I had to pick just one. However - the Patriot is a VERY close second since it takes both concentric and DD coils and is pretty damn close in performance. T2 only takes DD coils.

[@waynenorman116]

Thank you im looking at getting the Patriot 😉

[@thehuntergt]

I think you will love it. Have not seen a bad review of one yet. Great machine for the price.

[@kurtkeisel4423]

Target location you never show on the coil

[@bobcraig101]

I know this is old,. But who would you contact for permission to dig a site like that?

[@thehuntergt]

No contact for this site. It is a public park and there are no rules against metal detecting in that city.
