Tom Luxsox Coins

Canadian Pennies

I have been a big fan of Fisher Metal Detectors since the early 70's. I have owned 15 different models and found nearly 100,000 coins and nearly 400 gold rings utilizing these fine instruments. from the Medalert 11 to the cz20, I have only had to have one repaired as Fisher makes durable, quality machines that pay for themselves over and over again. I am very excited about the latest start-up unit the F-2. The 1210 and 1212x units were and are amazing start-up machines, but I can only say WOW when I use the F-2. Contact a Fisher dealer and grab this unit up while the 4" coil is still a bonus. I would! It is the best machine for the buck that I have owned. This innovative detector has more features than most detectors selling in the $500 to $600 range.

Here are the F-2's Feaures:

Target Display with numbers from 0 to 99 (very large numbers)

Depth Meter

Battery Meter

Sensitivity Control

Target Groups for Notch

Tone ID

Pinpoint Button

Power Button

Adjustable Settings: Sensivity, Discrimination, Notch

All of this for $199. The F-2 comes with a stock 8" coil plus a hot 4" coil with extra lower rod and hardware. Again I say WOW!

I took the F2 to my test gardens to see what it is capable of doing. With the standard 8" loop I was able to detect every coin buried up to eight inches deep. Silver dimes at 6 to 7 inches were weak signals as were silver quarters at 7 to 8 inches. Wheat cents gave good signals down to about 5 to 6 inches and old nickels came in at 6-7 inches in both of my 5 Feet square gardens. This is very impressive depth for a low end detector. My amazement with this light weight unit dramatically increased when I switched to the 4 inch coil and went to my trash garden to give it a real workout and test its TID system. This 3 feet square garden has a variety of pop tops and pull tabs going all the way back to the early 70's plus pencil erasers, foil, chewing gum paper/packages, etc. All the junk you would find in a schoolyard or sport stadium plus new and old coins in close proximity.

The newer pull tabs read between 33-35 and most nickels read at 30 to 32 with a few hitting 33. In a matter of minutes I could distinguish between almost every tab and both my older and newer nickels. Incredible! No nickel read higher than 33 and most tabs read 34 or 35. I have never found a start-up unit that can do this. Tesoro has some of the best differentiating units for nickels verses tabs, but my units selling for $500 -$700 dollars did not outperform the F-2. The Fisher 4" coil also proved itself depth wise. The nickels and dimes at 5 to 7 inches deep came in very clear, the target system was very stable and the response speed on this coil is fantastic. I was so impressed with this small coil, that I chose to use it at the beach, my high school stadium and old school yard test spots.

In a four hour period at Sponger Stadium, I dug up 211 coins with a face value of $19.55. Nothing old and exciting as field was built after silver disappeared from circulation. Yet 53 coins an hour is very good production. That is almost a coin a minute. This is my 2nd highest four hour total at this stadium in more than 35 years hunting there. In 1985 using a Fisher 1260 with a 4" coil, I took 244 coins in this time period. That was the premier top of the line detector of that time frame and I paid over $400. on a Christmas special. Do you understand why I keep saying WOW about this F-2?

At my old school yard the most aggravating signal is the aluminum pencil erasers that can be found eveywhere. My wife was in the first graduating class of this elementary school back somewhere in the 50's (I dare not age her). I tried to find out why this school has 10 times more aluminum erasers than any other schoolyard I have hunted. She and none of her school buddies could answer my question. Guess what? It is no longer a problem. From my trash garden, then to the school grounds, I learned to target and notch this menace out. In 2 hours I found 20 coins including a 1913 Canadian Quarter, a 1936 Buffalo Nickel and 2- 1945 wheat cents and did not dig up one pencil eraser. This school closed down a few years ago and any coins are leftovers as the grounds are fenced in and only a few people are given permission to even walk the old campus grounds and play areas.

I have used top of the line Garrett, White, Minelab, Tesoro and Bounty Hunter units along with my Fisher cz20 and have found fewer coins than this. My trip to the Tarpon Springs Beach with the F-2 was short-lived as rain came within 10 minutes. However, I did recover a nice sterling earring and three pennies. I will not use this instrument in the water as fresh or salt water intrusion would desroy this great little detector. In fact, I am convinced that the F-2 with its 4 inch coil will outperform any detector with a similar size coil. It is fast, it is stable and it goes very deep. WOW! I would charge no less than $60-$100 for the 4" addition. Here's to "diggin it"! Larry

As he takes a circuitous route home from San Francisco to Boston that finds him digging in Native American ruins, battling blazes in the woods of Arkansas and joining a black sharecropping family in South Carolina, he just can't escape the hero business. Nathan meets archaeologist Rachel Ring and together they travel not just across America but into each others past to find secrets that they have allowed to be secrets.

Who is the bell ringer and what does he want? The Glow family has been disintegrating for years and the unsolved murder of Nathan's father is one of the mysteries that should not be a mystery.
