Congrats Tony. I wish you all the very best for your exhibition. Wish I could get there myself to have a look. I do get down to Dunedin about once a month with work but unfortunately for me, your exhibition doesn't coincide with my calendar this month......bugger it!.....but who know's, I might get the opportunity to catch up with you some other time. cheers mate, #8.

What sort of depths do you normally find the older stuff? What would be your max depth you can detect? Ive never seen anything above 5 inches on my depth guage on the f2. I do realise its the cheapest "good" detector but just wondered how it compared to what you have used in the past.
You have some of the most enviable finds but sounds like you sure do put in the work. Would love to be able to see the exhibition, maybe a travelling show next time? :)

would love to see the T2 and the F75 beside each other as they are both owned by the same company..

Fisher started in 1920 and in 2006 sold to First Texas Products.

Teknetics was founded in 1983 and became part of the First Texas Products in 1989...it was in the early to mid 2000's that the T2 came out which looks very simular to the F75...lol

some of them old fake coins i found on brighton beach with the goldbug were down about 15 or so inches
it is amazing how much more depth you get at a beach than you do in a park..
