I am sure this is a stupid question but I will ask anyway. I have the F2. I want a sniper coil for it. Do I "have" to get a Fisher brand or are there other brands that might be less expensive but that will work?

Have you checked with the site sponsors??
Looks like Kellyco has a 4" coil for $34 plus shipping
Bart at BigBoysHobbies is a very helpful guy and a good place to start!
Good Luck

The only sniper coils I have seen for the F2 have been Fisher brand.

There are aftermarket coils made for a few different types of detectors but they usually cost more and I dont think anybody makes an aftermarket sniper coil for the f2 ( though I learn something new everyday ). My guess is there just isnt enough money to be made selling coils for the f2 like there is for higher end detectors. I think the only choice is the fisher coil designed for the f2.

Looks like a 4 inch coil from Kelley Co is about $34+S&H. I bet Bob can beat that! I may have myself a new toy by next weekend!

I believe the BH and Fisher coils are interchangeable.

Possibly , but they are probably the same thing anyway.
Yes. I have a BH gold finder 4" coil on my F2. I have an older model detector without the screw type connector.

No, not all are the same.
my friend has a BH platinum and he was told that the regular sniper coil (for the F2) would not fit his detector. The platinum is similar to the Teknetics 6000
so the coils would not fit.
Make sure they match before you buy one.

There are no coils cheaper than the 4" coil from fisher for the F2...and none better.
I have had mine mounted for about 18 months and it found me about $1200 in clad and silver and gold at melt value.
If you calculate some of the gold and diamond rings I have not sent in for melt because they are too nice for that and are worth way more including a nice one with 9 diamonds figure over $2000.
As far as I am concerned if you have an F2 you can't afford NOT to have one of these handy.

You (all) are right. I ordered my 4 inch coil this morning from Russ at RB Detectors. Shipped and on it's way already! Can't wait to get out with it!
