so as I was browsing craigslist I came across an add for a fisher f2 metal detector looks in great shape if it has even been used, has anyone had any experience with this particular detector? guy wants 150 for it is that a good price seems that according to fisher the msrp is around 300+ so any information would be greatly appreciated, and it also looks like the detector has the pinpoint button

The F2 is comparable to the Ace 250, a good basic entry level detector, I haven't used one but here's a link for the F2 on a metal detector review website, you can also check out reviews on other models and /or other brands from the side menu.

I helped a lady get started with one a while back. I think you could do better for the same money and much better for slightly more.

I have a bounty hunter that I bought at cabelas and havent really gotten to use it much and i think I may have either alot of junk iron around the house or my detector isnt setup right who knows lol

I think you should not rely to much on metal detector. Metal detecting is something more than a good metal detector. I found Besides owning a good metal detector, the most important thing is that you should be very patient. Because you will find much more scraps than treasures.
