The Fisher F75 is a 13 kHz VLF metal detector for coin shooting, relic hunting and gold prospecting, with DST to suppress electrical interference, FASTGRAB automatic ground balance with manual override, a 0 to 99 numeric target ID, FeTone iron audio and an 11 inch BiAxial DD waterproof coil. It runs about 40 hours on four AA batteries, weighs 3.5 lb (1.6 kg) and carries a 2-year Fisher warranty.

Who the Fisher F75 is for
The F75 suits experienced hunters who work iron-heavy relic sites, farm fields and mineralized ground. Fisher lists it for coin shooting, relic hunting, gold prospecting, cache hunting, shallow water and dry sand beach hunting. We would choose it over the F44 for its 13 kHz frequency, DST and trigger-actuated FASTGRAB ground balance.
FASTGRAB ground balance and DST
FASTGRAB ground balance is trigger-actuated: when the soil changes across a field, push the trigger forward to re-balance and keep hunting, and use the manual override to fine-tune it. DST suppresses electrical interference, so it is the control we would reach for at a club hunt or near power lines.
Target ID, FeTone and discrimination
The 0 to 99 numeric target ID with multi-tone audio lets you learn your local targets, and notch discrimination drops the ones you keep digging as trash. FeTone has four levels, Off, Low, Medium and High, so on an iron-heavy site you can keep iron audible at Low or Medium and still hear a good target come through. With sensitivity from 1 to 99, we would set it where the F75 runs quietly rather than at maximum.
All-Metal modes and pinpoint
Motion All-Metal hears every metal target while you sweep. Static All-Metal and the trigger-activated pinpoint, with variable-pitch audio and a depth readout, help you size up and center a target before you dig.
Where the Fisher F75 works best and its limits
The F75 is at home on relic sites, farm fields, old home sites, parks and dry sand beaches. The waterproof coil can go into shallow water, but the control box is not weatherproof and has no IP rating, so keep it out of the water and out of heavy rain. Fisher lists dry sand beaches, not wet salt sand, so for saltwater beaches see our beach metal detectors. At 3.5 lb (1.6 kg), the F75 is heavier than the 2.3 lb (1.04 kg) F44.
Fisher F75 compared with the F75 LTD
The Fisher F75 LTD shares the 13 kHz platform, DST, FASTGRAB, FeTone, the 0 to 99 target ID, the trigger pinpoint and four AA batteries. It adds Boost Mode, which Fisher says adds detection depth and sensitivity, and Cache Locating Mode, and it comes with a 5 inch coil as well as the 11 inch coil. We would choose the LTD for deep caches or for a small coil on iron-packed home sites from day one.
