Fisher F11 Metal Detector with 11" Waterproof DD Coil

The Fisher F11 is an ultra-lightweight VLF metal detector built for coin shooting, jewelry hunting, and relic recovery in parks, fields, and dry-sand beaches. Running at 7.69 kHz with three turn-on-and-go modes (Jewelry, Coin, Artifact), a visual target ID, and 4-tone audio, it gives beginners and casual hunters a simple, reliable machine that works right out of the box. This version comes with the larger 11-inch waterproof DD coil for more ground coverage and better target separation than the standard 7-inch. At 2.3 lbs it is comfortable for all-day hunts and light enough for younger detectorists. It is one of the easiest beginner metal detectors to learn on.

What's included

• Fisher F11 detector with 11-inch waterproof DD elliptical coil
• Two-year Fisher manufacturer warranty

Why beginners choose the F11

• Turn on and go. Three preset modes (Jewelry, Coin, Artifact) and preset ground balance mean no manual tuning, so you are hunting within minutes of unboxing.
• Clear target feedback. A visual target ID plus 4-tone audio (iron grunt, mid pull-tab, high silver, coin beep) give you two ways to judge a target before you dig.
• Bigger coverage. The 11-inch DD coil covers more ground than the standard 7-inch and separates targets better in trashy parks.
• Light and simple. 2.3 lbs, adjustable shaft, six sensitivity and volume levels, and a dedicated pinpoint button.
• Made in the USA. Built at Fisher's El Paso, Texas facility.

Where the F11 performs best

Parks and lawns

Coin mode notches out iron and foil by default so you can focus on clad and silver in high-traffic turf. The visual ID helps you cherry-pick repeatable mid-tone signals, and six sensitivity levels let you dial back chatter near power lines or field lighting.

Dry and wet-sand beach

The 11-inch coil and lower shaft are waterproof, so you can work the surf line and shallow wading for lost jewelry. Keep the control box out of the water, since it is not waterproof. The F11 is a general machine, not a dedicated saltwater detector, so it handles moderate conditions best.

Fields and old homesites

Artifact mode opens the discrimination window to accept lower conductors like brass buttons and lead, which makes it handy for light relic hunting. The pinpoint button locates a target tightly before you cut a plug. For heavier iron and mineralized ground, step up to the Fisher F44 with ground balance.
