Overview
Turn the sunny days into paydays with the Fisher F22 metal detector. Boasting of a compact, lightweight, and simplistic design, F22 is a pick and go metal detector that suits someone new to the treasure hunting hobby. Despite its simple design, this is a powerful and affordable all-round detector for hunting for jewelry, coins, and relics. F22 is the big brother to the famous Fisher F2, which was the first entry-level detector in Fisher’s F series. However, the F22 adds several advanced features that are hard to find on entry-level models.

Adjustable Sensitivity Levels
Fine-tune your metal hunting experience with the ten levels of sensitivity. This feature allows you to adjust the sensitivity when you are not getting a lot of feedback or your detector is not picking up anything. It also comes with four modes of operation that lets you exclude the metal of your choice. By simply pressing the buttons on the screen, you can select a mode to hunt for coins, artifacts, jewelry or set a custom setting.
LCD Target ID Screen
To add fun to your metal hunting experience, this unit comes with a useful LED screen that offers you with all the information that you need. Thanks to the nine segment visual and numerical target ID, you can quickly identify what’s underneath before picking your shovel. Notably, the screen included a current search mode that lets you toggle between the modes and customize the discrimination pattern. Additionally, you will get the target depth indicator that estimates the depth of your target as well as an ergonomic arm brace and handle for added comfort, especially during long relic hunting sessions.
Energy Efficient
Another incredible feature of F22 is that it runs on only two AA batteries. Unlike traditional models, this detector included energy efficient microchips that consume little energy. Amazingly, the two AA batteries offer you with 30-hour functioning power. Best of all, this unit includes a battery level indicator that ensures that you never run out of battery power in a long hunt. It is also worth noting that this unit comes with an impressive Operating Frequency. With a 7.69 kHz, this unit detects all metals in a split second.
Weatherproof Casing
Rain or shine, your F22 metal detector will be by your side. It boasts of professional grade waterproofing that allows you to use it in wet or dry conditions. While it is not waterproof, meaning you cannot submerge in water, the waterproofing gives you peace of mind in instances where you are caught in a harsh rainstorm.

Our Verdict
Fisher 22 is a professionally designed metal detector, which is ideal for beach hunting as well as for people who live in rainy areas. Skilled and novice treasure hunters will find this unit easy to use regardless of their experience level. The only set back we found in F22 is that is not waterproof. This means while you can use it on the beach, you cannot submerge it in water. However, when considering the features and its price, this is a minor drawback especially for people looking for an affordable metal detector!
