The original F75 model was upgraded in 2014 to include Digital Shielding Technology (DST) but the model name as sold remained the same. Earlier models are just called the F75 and the newer version is referred to as the F75 DST by users. These models should not be confused with the Limited (Ltd) and Special Edition (SE) models which also come with and without DST.

"The F75 and F75 Ltd are two of the best metal detectors on the market today. Ideal for coins, relics, jewelry, caches and gold nuggets; they are truly versatile. When the F75 was released it raised the bar in the industry for impressive depth and incredible target separation capability. Its unparalleled "iron see-through" has been the talk of the industry. Sites thought to have been cleaned out now produce countless artifacts. These brothers of a sort share a core group of features. The Ltd version comes with additional Boost and Cache Modes, a 5" DD Round Searchcoil and a set of rain covers for the control and battery housing." Source: Fisher 2016 catalog

"The Gold Bug® family has revolutionized gold prospecting with new prospecting tools, Target-ID, incredible depth and all at an affordable price! Its fast retune speed and biaxial Search coils create superb target separation with impressive depth. V-BreakTM, the industry's first Variable Breakpoint tone discrimination system, allows user control of the multi-tone Audio ID system. This feature helps distinguish iron targets with a distinctive low audio tone while non-ferrite targets like gold, induce high tones. Tone discrimination combines with a dead-accurate Visual ID system to give gold prospectors a vital new tool in finding gold without having to dig any iron targets. An expanded 40-Point Iron ID target range helps differentiate between larger iron objects and smaller nails and pieces. The way it minimizes the masking effects of ferrous targets near non-ferrous targets is simply amazing! Coin and relic hunters marveled at how well the Gold Bug® Pro performed with our legendary 11 "DD Searchcoil, and the Gold Bug® DP was bom. Two more unique features are the real-time display of the Ground Phase value and an Fe304 meter that indicates the amount of mineralization present. These features monitor changes in soil conditions to locate and trace black sand concentrations where gold is commonly found. The Ground Balance system handles the toughest of ground conditions, capable of balancing all the way to salt. No longer do you need a specialized detector for prospecting and another for coins and relics; the Gold Bug excels at both!" Source: Fisher 2016 catalog

Garrett Metal Detectors purchased White's Electronics, and the 24K bears the distinction of being the only model that Garrett continued to produce, as the Garrett Goldmaster 24K. All accessories like coils are compatible on both versions.

"Featuring a 50% increase in coil voltage over previous models along with an all-new XGB ground balance system, take your prospecting to new depths with the Goldmaster 24k. This machine represents a new generation of VLF detection technology, with features that both sourdough and greenhorn prospectors can appreciate. Starting with the industry-standard 48 kHz operating frequency, we’ve packed all the necessities into one package to put you on the gold. A large, backlit display shows you all the machine’s settings as well as valuable target information. The Target Graph at the top of the display shows Ferrous, Gold, and High Conductor ranges, which is mirrored with Target ID numbers ranging from 0-99. An all-new XGB ground balance system can handle mineralized ground unlike other VLF prospecting machines." Source: Goldmaster 24K brochure

For advanced users, TracLock and Ground Grab are just a tap of button away. You can assign a ground balance offset in both TracLock or XGB modes. To help prospectors that prefer drywashing, sluicing, or panning, the Goldmaster 24k features a Ground Scan mode that can show you where valuable paystreaks are in streambeds and washes. The Goldmaster 24K offers 10 levels of adjustable sensitivity, adjustable audio volume with two levels of Boost, adjustable discrimination, vSAT, adjustable threshold, non-motion pinpoint, and a Tone ID mode. But don’t let that scare you if this is your first prospecting machine – this is a turn-on-and-go machine, with advanced features you can grow into as you gain experience.

• SENSITIVITY – Set the sensitivity at a level that does not result in false signals from the ground. Very strong ground may result in the symbol on screen and a loud sound – this means the sensitivity is too high.
• GROUND BALANCE – With the default setting, the detector will use XGB to automatically ground balance. Tap to lock the ground balance to the current setting. Tapping when the ground balance is locked will update the current ground setting to what is under the coil.
• GROUND SCAN – Hold to put the detector into Ground Scan mode. The top bar displays the ground strength and the two digit numbers display the ground type (phase). Useful for tracing paystreaks.
• IRON CANCEL – Tap to silence hot rocks, trash and mineral changes in both audio modes. Hold to select the Iron Cancel setting (1 bar is default). Note that this setting may decrease the detector’s sensitivity to very small gold, but is necessary in difficult ground conditions.
• VOLUME and THRESHOLD – Tap to adjust the volume with the up and down buttons. Hold to adjust the threshold with the up and down buttons (“th” displays on screen). Set these to a comfortable level for your hearing and preference.
• AUDIO MODE – With the displayed on screen, the detector is in “BEEP” audio mode (high tone = good target, low tone = bad target). The default setting (without on screen) is a traditional All-Metal audio mode with greater sensitivity to small targets.
• SAT – SAT can smooth out ground inconsistencies. Hold to adjust it (“Sa” displays on screen, 2 is the default setting).
• PINPOINT – Hold for non-motion pinpoint mode. In difficult ground this mode may be affected by mineralization.
• BACKLIGHT – Tap to enable the backlight (this reduces battery life).
• FREQUENCY SHIFT – Hold when turning the detector on to shift frequency (useful when there is EMI). Power off to save the selection.
• FACTORY RESET – Hold when turning the detector on to perform a factory reset.
• AUDIO - Built in speaker, 1/4” headphone jack
• BATTERIES - 8 AA
• WEIGHT - 3.5 lbs
• COILS - 6" x 10" DD standard. Optional 6” round concentric and 4" x 6" DD coils available

The DEUS II performs extremely well in all terrain and conditions, both on land and at sea, thanks to FMF® (Fast Multi Frequency) technology." Source: XP website

"All the power of the legendary MXT in a simplified design. With 3 controls at your fingertips, you can instantly change gain, discrimination, and ground tracking. The M6’s slim profile and light weight make it an accessible detector for travelers and beginners. It’s also a go-to unit for police departments and private investigators due to its ease of use and stowability. The seven tones and LCD screen give users an idea of what kind of target the coil is over, and a trigger-pull pinpoint switch lets you zero in on exactly where to dig. Lightning-fast Auto-Trac adjusts to ground conditions on the fly, but locked and beach modes are available for more challenging conditions. Dialing in discrimination settings is a simple turn of a knob. One of the best things about this machine is its compatibility with the current Eclipse line of search coils." Source: White's website

"The Sand Shark is the perfect beach companion. The combination of moving salt water and mineralized soil can wreak havoc with the standard metal detector. The Sand Shark utilizes Pulse Induction technology to eliminate this issue and allows the detectorist to hunt in areas that frustrate others. This unit provides control over the pulse width to balance battery life and depth. The Sand Shark also includes a tone adjustment, allowing the user to choose either a variable pitch or a single tone. The Sand Shark’s headphones and coils are hardwired to the detector to protect it from leaks, allowing it to dive
up to 200 feet. Available with an 8” or 10.5” search coil." Source: Tesoro 2013 catalog

"The Outlaw represents the return of true no motion, all-metal treasure hunting. This detector is a continuation of the Bandido series of metal detectors, which was designed with all of the controls needed to get maximum performance from its machines. Like its predecessors, the Outlaw has discrimination, sensitivity, threshold, and ground balance adjustments. Its “Retune” button is used to reduce the response from the metal, which shrinks the target area and allows for precise pinpointing. The Outlaw is available with either an 8” round concentric coil, or a three-pack of coils: 5.75” round concentric, 8” round concentric, and 12x10” widescan. The 8” coil provides great balance between depth and sensitivity, and is an efficient pinpointer. The 5.75” coil utilizes tremendous sensitivity, making it an optimal tool for pinpointing targets. The 12x10” coil is less susceptible to ground effects, which means it is perfect for heavily mineralized sites or hunting larger targets." Source: Tesoro 2013 catalog

12/1/2018 - Take note of a temporary offer to buy the AT Pro with the smaller 5" x 8" coil as standard instead of the 8.5" x 11" coil. Garrett AT Pro Sport Special

"This all-terrain detector offers new and exclusive Garrett technology that makes it ideal for hunting coins, relics, caches, jewelry, and even gold nuggets. The AT Pro includes Garrett's exclusive Target ID technology and patented discrimination features. Two indicator scales allow you to see the detector’s discrimination setting (Lower Scale) as well as the analysis of each target (Upper Scale). In addition, a Digital Target ID scale provides a more specific target value. The AT Pro also features High Resolution Iron Discrimination (40 points) for separating desirable targets from iron junk in cluttered areas, several advanced audio features and a standard 8.5" x 11" elliptical Double-D searchcoil engineered for optimum performance in more challenging mineralized soils. In addition, the AT Pro can be operated in a very user-friendly Standard (STD) Mode or in a more advanced PRO Mode for experienced hunters." Source: Owner's Manual
