Hi Folks,

Fact is, I love metal detecting!  I started Detectorstuff.com a few years ago due to my passion for the hobby.  Unfortunately, having sites like this (and the forums) ain’t cheap!  I’ve decided to open a “store” where people can buy metal detectors and accessories.  The profits will hopefully help me offset the costs of running Detectorstuff.com and the forums.  No one that visits will ever be pressured to buy anything…I ain’t that kinda guy!  I will also continue to list any dealers who want their names in my links list.

Detectorstuff has grown quite a bit since we started.  We now get thousands of “hits” a year from all over the world!  I am very thankful for the folks who come by here to learn more about the great hobby of metal detecting!  I will continue to have interviews, reviews and technical information as time allows.

Be looking for the Detectorstuff store to open soon!

Thanks,

Mark

Hey Folks!  I’ve finally repaired a lot of the old photo links from our infamous server crash several months ago.  Better late than never, I guess!  You may still find a few of our older articles that don’t have all their photos but most are in pretty good shape now.  Thanks for coming by www.detectorstuff.com !  We will continue to offer interesting, insightful information about the greatest hobby on earth…metal detecting!  Be sure to drop by our forums for discussion at www.detectorstuff.com/forum

Thanks,

With Fisher releasing the F75, CZ21, F70, F5, F4 and F2 in the period of around 2 years, it is evident they are NOT afraid of change!  The “F series” of detectors has quickly developed a loyal following due to their combination of performance and price.

The “old” Fisher website looked nice, but lacked the things folks look for these days.  I, personally, like to be able to dig around a site and find all sorts of content…the new Fisher site offers TONS of content!  You’ll even see contributions from several Detectorstuff regulars.

I just got my hands on a sales flyer for a new Gold Bug gold hunting metal detector from Fisher Labs.  Very, very interesting set of specs.!  One thing that definitely has my attention… 19 kHz frequency and the mention of relic hunting possibilities!  (think lead and brass!)…also check out the last item under “Controls and Features”…an optional 11″ DD coil!  Could this be an awesome nugget buster and a monster relic machine?  Can’t wait to start hearing field reports!  Discuss in our FORUMS HERE
