Introduction - Fisher F19 Owner's Manual

Congratulations
Congratulations on your purchase of the new F19™ metal detector. The F19™
has been custom designed to find the smallest targets, provide superior target
separation and features advanced discrimination control.
Whether you use your Detector in the backyard, at the shoreline, in the
mountains or fields afar, your investment will let you experience the excitement
of searching for yet to be discovered treasures and give you years of outdoor
enjoyment. Buried treasure can be as near as your own door step and stretch
from horizon to horizon. On your own or with friends, you'll never run out of
places to use your F19.
This manual has been written to help you get optimal use of your detector, so we
hope you will read it thoroughly before your first outing and will also refer back to
this manual from time to time to reinforce features and methods as you become
more proficient in the field.
Happy Hunting from Fisher Research Labs!
Introduction to the F19
The new F19™ is unique among relic hunting detectors for its versatile
function as an all-purpose treasure detector and also its high sensitivity to
small gold nuggets.
The controls, menu options and features are tailored to relic-hunting, including
a sophisticated ground balancing system, separate control over
signal gain and threshold and a unique discrimination control
system. These features also make for a great gold prospecting detector,
especially when the F19 is outfitted with the optional 5" DD
searchcoil. While the F19 makes for a highly competent coinshooting
detector, its user interface and features are not specifically
designed for this purpose. As a coin-shooter, you will notice that the
F19 exhibits slightly lower sensitivity to high-conductivity coins,
like a U.S. quarter; this is a result of its specialized design to
emphasize sensitivity to smaller, lower conductivity metals like relics and
gold nuggets.
The F19 is outfitted with a 10"DD closed elliptical searchcoil as standard
equipment since this searchcoil construction is best-suited to relic-hunting.
At the trashiest sites, you may find the smaller optional 5"DD searchcoil makes
pinpointing easier, is better suited to penetrate highly mineralized soils and
improves target separation.
