This is my first detector ever so I have nothing to compare it to! But this detector is very user friendly, very comfortable and lightweight! It DOES come with two 9-volt batteries, well mine did but they put them in backwards so they didn't loose a charge! Also they say it can go into water but to be careful about the water inside the hollow shaft since the display is not waterproof. I solved this problem by taking a rubber/plastic cap you would put on a waling cane or on the bottom of chairs to prevent slipping and adding a touch of waterproof epoxy to it and insert it into the shaft! Boom, water proof for 3 feet without worries! Just be sure to add this plug above the adjustment notches! It does detect gold and silver but there isn't a display mode for that metal, just did everything! The audio is loud and crisp, the pinpoint option works amazing and the discrimination option is nice if you want to avoid iron junk!
If you are looking for your first detector and can afford this, buy it! The next one I buy will be fully waterproof and has a GPS tracking feature but those are expensive!
This detector is SO easy to use right out of the box! So far I have not found any values but did find old shotgun brass about 8" deep and a old rusty horseshoe about 10" deep! So depth is amazing on this F4!
The only con on this is that you will get the occasional false reading but after looking into it, it is most likely due to the minerals in the ground, not the machine.

Alaska to South Carolina with the F4
This is my first machine I purchased two years ago. I travel from Alaska to South Carolina year round. I'm a 9/11 combat veteran so this hobby lets me enjoy the things I lost. The very first day it arrived. It was ready to go with batteries included. Amazing finds the first day with tokens given to there employees as pay in the late 1800's saw mill. Many other cool finds but somethings that you dig don't show up on a metal detector. I found a jade ads close to a target I was digging. You will find things that no metal detector could pick up. This is my best find yet and much older than any coin. Many hours over rough terrain the F4 did it's job. My first oldest coin is a 1885 about a foot down in discrimination mode. Next was tungsten which aluminum ore was right next to it. Aluminum can not be picked up by a metal detector. Here are the picks of my finds.
