akaskipper56 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Is a fisher M97 a good metal detector? One was just given to me. I am wanting to get into metal detecting with my grandson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The M97 is as basic as a detector gets. It goes beep, you dig it up. No discrimination, so lots of metal dug. It might be fun on a beach but in most places it will have you digging too much trash. Fisher M97 Owners Manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 You could look at one of the Garrett Ace machines with the DD coil. The Concentric picks up too much trash as the Rx is too large. Also Whites Coin Master is also a pretty nice machine. I would avoid a machine that has a needle for the target id as they are so slow responding it is really difficult to pinpoint or even know what it is doing. I had one on my old Bounty Hunter and found it to be annoying at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
