Kind of like not learning to drive a manual transmission or write and read cursive. Probably true, Target ID's are certainly a shortcut to some success. For the average beginner learning the usage and nuances of a no-ID detector would be enough to put many off the hobby although a lot of the entry level type no ID detectors just have a beep or door bell with no way to discern targets. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23181-a-heck-of-a-patriotic-deal/page/2/#findComment-247960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like that analog audio!! 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23181-a-heck-of-a-patriotic-deal/page/2/#findComment-247974 Share on other sites More sharing options...

m880 Posted February 16, 2024 Share Posted February 16, 2024 I viewed them on the First Texas ad on ebay about 4 months ago and 2 days latter they messaged me with a $180.00 offer and I took it. Arthritis has had me down but i'm gonna give it a try soon. 3 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23181-a-heck-of-a-patriotic-deal/page/2/#findComment-268414 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully FT is making room for something new. BTW...they accept offers. ? I don't believe they are interested in building metal detectors anymore. I see the original Bounty Hunter line kept to sell to big box stores and the Tek and Fishers die out.

RickUK Posted February 18, 2024 Share Posted February 18, 2024 FT basically have one foot in the detecting grave,i am glad i snagged a brand new T2 with boost mode a few weeks back,not old stock,but the latest model for £299 which i thought was a bargain and boy oh boy that boost mode does work well. Possibly my all time favourite detector,so easy to setup and really lightweight. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/23181-a-heck-of-a-patriotic-deal/page/2/#findComment-268600 Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Kinsey Posted February 23, 2024 Share Posted February 23, 2024 I got that deal awhile back. Glad I did as you can use other Fisher coils that may work.
