I just bought a Fisher MD 3080, I got nothing with it as far as manuals, etc. Does anyone know anything on it. I looked at fishers website and they don't list it anymore so it must be kinda old

If you can post a picture of the control box panel, we can tell you how to use it.

Does It look like this?



This is a Chinese made metal detector frequently sold on ebay. The model number is MD3080.

I bought a Fisher VLF 660 from the '80s off of eBay before I realized what it was. Like you, I got no manual. But I sent Fisher an email request and they sent one free of charge. It took a little over a week for it to arrive, so be patient.

Not a fisher

I have found the same one on ebay, looks like I got an aquavision md 3080. seem most go for 119 bucks so maybe my 50 isn't a bad deal. Guess I'm just 2 trusting and should of looked deeper. If anyone know about the aquavision md 3080 I would like to still hear from you thanks

Md-3080

I just received a MD-3080 metal detector for Christmas and it was missing the wing nut that that holds the seach coil in place. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement. I am hoping I don't have to wait and get one from the company where the detector was purchased.

Lowes usually has nylon wing nuts. Don't use a metal one.

I have been accused of beign a Wing Nut and missing a few myself!!
Awendaw's is a great suggestion!

NOTE: I removed your duplicate post on this issue. Good luck in your detecting experience!
