One of the standout characteristics of the Fisher M-96 is its advanced discrimination capabilities.

Weighing in at just over 2.5 pounds (approximately 1.13 kg), this lightweight detector is easy to carry for extended periods without causing fatigue. The adjustable telescoping shaft allows users of different heights to find a comfortable position, further enhancing ergonomic usability.

The Fisher M-96 is also weather-resistant, making it suitable for use in various outdoor conditions. The device's durable construction ensures that it can withstand the rigors of outdoor adventures, including potential exposure to moisture and dust.

In terms of power, the Fisher M-96 is designed to be efficient, often functioning on standard batteries that provide extended usage times. Its energy efficiency allows for prolonged sessions without the need for frequent battery changes, making it a practical choice for avid detectorists.
