Fisher F19 Metal Detector

The Fisher F19 is a 19 kHz coin and relic machine tuned for the targets that frustrate general-purpose detectors: small relics, buttons, cut coins and gold in iron-infested or mineralized ground. Its 40-point iron identification scale, FeTone adjustable iron audio and V-Break tone discrimination give unusually fine control over what you dig, backed by GroundGrab one-touch ground balancing with manual override and a continuous ground condition readout. Fisher has largely wound down F19 production and complete units sell out quickly, so this page serves as the F19 model hub: detectors and packages when available, plus the coils, manual and parts that keep one hunting.

A 19 kHz Relic Machine with 40-Point Iron ID

Most detectors give you a handful of iron segments; the F19 gives you forty. Combined with FeTone, which lets you set iron volume independently instead of silencing it, and V-Break adjustable tone breakpoints, you can hunt a nail-filled homesite and still hear the button or cut silver sitting between the iron. The 19 kHz operating frequency is hot on low-conductivity targets, which is why the F19 sits in the First Texas 19 kHz family detectorists still discuss for relic and gold work. It is ultra light, runs a static all-metal pinpoint with depth indicator, and reads ground conditions continuously so you know when the dirt is lying to you.

Coil Choices: 10x5 in DD or 11 in DD

The F19 shipped two ways, and the choice still matters on the used and open box market. The 10x5 in DD elliptical is the iron-site tool: tight footprint, sharp separation, easy to thread between nails and roots. The 11 in DD version trades some separation for coverage and depth on open fields and beaches. Genuine spares that fit include the 10 in DD white elliptical (shared with the F5) and the 11 in black screw-in coil, and the 10x5 in DD white coil listed under our F70 hub fits the F19 as well.

Sold Out? Your Options from Here

F19 listings on this page are frequently sold out; when units land they are usually open box and do not last. If you need a machine now, the Fisher F75 is the faster, deeper 13 kHz stablemate, and the Fisher F44 covers weatherproof turn-on-and-go hunting for less. Watch this page for returns and open box stock, keep an F19 alive with the coils above, or browse the full Fisher lineup for what is shipping today.
