The Story
Fisher F44 Metal Detector
The Fisher F44 is built for detectorists who want performance, flexibility, and weatherproof reliability. With a 7.69 kHz VLF operating frequency, 11" elliptical concentric searchcoil, 5 operating modes, manual and automatic Ground Grab® ground balance, FeTone™ adjustable iron audio, adjustable backlight, numeric Target ID, and lightweight S-rod design, the F44 is ready for coins, relics, jewelry, and general-purpose detecting.
What’s Included
Weatherproof Performance
The F44 is designed for real field use in rain, wind, and dusty terrain. The control box is weather-resistant, giving users more confidence in changing outdoor conditions. The detector is not designed to be fully submerged.
5 Operating Modes
Choose from Jewelry, Coin, Artifact, Custom, and All Metal modes. These modes give the F44 flexibility for different hunting styles, target types, and site conditions.
Ground Grab® Ground Balance
The F44 includes both manual and automatic Ground Grab® ground balance. This gives detectorists more control in changing ground conditions and helps improve stability in mineralized soil.
FeTone™ Adjustable Iron Audio
FeTone™ adjustable iron audio lets users reduce iron volume while still keeping awareness of iron targets. This is helpful in trashy sites, relic areas, and iron-heavy locations where constant iron tones can become tiring.
Key Features
7.69 kHz VLF Technology
Reliable frequency for coins, jewelry, relics, and general-purpose detecting.
11" Searchcoil
Elliptical concentric coil gives dependable depth and ground coverage.
5 Search Modes
Jewelry, Coin, Artifact, Custom, and All Metal modes for flexible hunting.
Manual + Auto Ground Balance
Manual and Ground Grab® automatic balancing help adapt to different soil conditions.
FeTone™ Iron Audio
Adjustable iron volume helps reduce fatigue in iron-heavy or trashy sites.
1–99 Target ID
Numeric Target ID gives clearer target information before digging.
Adjustable Backlight
0–5 backlight levels help improve display visibility in low-light conditions.
