Goldseeker5000 Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Question for Rob, Chris or Steve. Do any of you know why Fisher's Gold Strike never took off and became popular? I got to test one out several years back and it seemed to be a worthy gold machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One reason was that the Gold Strike did not have a threshold that we were used to having. We listened for the whispers or faint changes in the threshold to find the dinks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 I covered it in detail on this thread. Short answer, it was not the Gold Bug 3 everyone expected. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry in Idaho Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Steve did good job of telling everyone. I too was one of the original testers and met Fred/Lilly Brust at Rey Patch NV. I found gold with it and in fact one of my favorite OR nuggets I found with one. I think most folks were not up to snuff on the digital readout. I actually liked a couple features on it (Digital ID) as I could hunt areas where there was an abundance of a certain target and with the ID system, I just ignored that #, kind of like I can do on the Equinox 800. The pics are of the OR nugget I found with the Gold Strike. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
