Favorite FT detector?-----For me that would be the F-19 hands down.------Light weight--fast response (works iron well, passes the nail board test 8 out of 8 with the 5" coil)--very versatile (relics, coins & gold nuggies)--g.b.'s easily--accurate I.D. (for coin hunting)--large screen #'s--easy 9v alkaline battery change--good selection of coils--You can easily remove the control housing to chest mount for water hunting.--A very "problem free" detector (since they got the bugs ironed out of the early/first out F-19's which was several years ago).--A real joy to use but what's not to like?------Well, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it got a wee bit more depth--and--would like to see the 1/4" h.p. jack in a different place on the control unit.-----------Del
