Hi guys,
I'm new to detecting and my research has lead me to really like the look of the Fisher models. One thing I've noticed is the dollar and cent symbols on the display. Being in the UK is this such a big deal or not?

Hi Matt, nothing to worry about my White's V3i also has American symbols, it will still find the goods except for some of our modern coinage that have iron cores 1p 2p 5p and 10p have the iron cores. I can tell by tone the majority of the iron cored coins, they tend to give a mixed signal. Try practicing with a few UK coins and use a magnet to find the iron based coins :)

Well Fisher have certainly been around a long time, what do you like about them?
Welcome to the best place for detector advice bar none.

Thank for the info! :)
I'm basing my choice on a few YouTube reviews I've seen, mind you come to think of it, they were American, so it might not apply to the UK as much, you know, different soil types etc.

Hello Matt
As said the display format is not really an issue but when you have made your choice just make sure you buy from a reputable source as in all walks of life where something is expensive and poplar there are fakes and copies

European detectorists have been dealing with US currency icons for years, at first it can be a little annoying but after a while you don't even notice it, make sure you never ignore a target if it reads ring pull or foil.
