Fisher F75+ Metal Detector with F-Pulse Pinpointer and The Digger Digging Tool

The Fisher F75 is a 13 kHz VLF metal detector 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. The F75+ package pairs it with the Fisher F-Pulse, a pulse induction pinpointer, and The Digger digging tool.

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.

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.

A typical hunt is a nineteenth-century homesite full of square nails. We would start with FASTGRAB, establish a stable sensitivity setting and listen carefully for repeatable non-ferrous signals, then experiment with the available discrimination settings rather than going straight to the most aggressive settings.

The most common mistake we see is assuming the highest sensitivity always gives the best performance. An unstable detector makes subtle targets harder to interpret, and Fisher's manual notes that in electrical interference or mineralized ground the F75 usually runs too noisy when sensitivity is set too high.

For a beginner who wants uncomplicated weekend detecting, we would recommend the Fisher F22. For underwater or regular saltwater detecting, we would recommend the Fisher CZ-21.

Who we would recommend the Fisher F75 to

We recommend the F75 to experienced relic and coin hunters who appreciate detailed controls and are willing to learn how the detector responds in different ground conditions. The F75 combines excellent ergonomics, detailed target information, FASTGRAB ground balancing and extensive adjustments, and it appeals most to detectorists who like to interpret target audio and adapt their settings to difficult sites: older farms, historical properties, fields and iron-contaminated ground.

The F-Pulse pinpointer

The F-Pulse is a pulse induction pinpointer, submersible to 6 feet for up to 1 hour, with three sensitivity levels, audio and vibration alerts and 16 frequency-shift channels, so it can be shifted away from your detector. Fisher covers it with a 2-year warranty. More pinpointers are in our Fisher pinpointers collection.
