Being a distributor for Fisher i have been lucky enough to get a F44 down here to test out before they got released in the USA. Still not had a chance to detect the snow but getting around the island testing her on volcanic soil, highland ovals and beaches so far. One of the best features i am finding is the adjustable tones, you can move the tones around anywhere on the machine. So take the high tone move it to the slot 5 where the 1 and 2 dollar coins are. Also like the proportional audio feature on a Garrett AT machine the F44 has Voltage Controlled Oscillator (same as pro audio) the big difference to how Fisher have used this compared to Garrett is with the F44 you can have the normal tones working and put the vco function onto one slot, so you can use vco for hunting the small targets like a threepence but the normal high pitch moved to the $1 slot. Anyway take a look at my blog review, is part 1 and soon will have the salt water hunting, gold nugget test blog review done.

$550 with a load of free stuff included.
As people who have followed me on youtube will know i have been a Garrett AT Pro and Gold user for the past 3 years, i find the F44 has almost every function of the AT Pro plus a few more features but can no go 3 metres under water, yet for almost half the price of an AT Pro the machine is at a bargain price.

Price is interesting.
Runs at 7.69khz and can gb salt.
At that frequency it may not be too flash on small gold chains at the beach.
I liked my 19khz GB because it could gb salt and was great on small gold chains and brocken ear rings......Trouble is some dead head pinched it.
