  2. What I discovered in service was that I could turn my worst customers into my best. The people who had products that had major issues. You guys ain't seen nothing. Try dealing with people when their brand new $18,000 snowmobile engine blows up in the middle of nowhere Alaska or the motor on their $200,000 boat craps out. Boats in particular are just horrible, every brand new fiberglass boat made is just rife with warranty issues. In any case these people would come in screaming and threatening legal action. I did not just take care of them I did countless things that went above and beyond to make sure they got their problems fixed. More often than not those people with the worst problems became not only some of our best customers going forward, but some helped out as extra sales staff at shows. The secret is no secret at all. Under promise and over deliver and most of all - communicate, communicate, communicate!

  3. Am I the only one having a hard time with this? giant hand fulls of gold,.... Nuggets that are larger then the palm of your hand ...... using a hatchet to clean a giant gold nugget? And I have trouble finding a tiny speck of a half gram piece after covering hundreds of acres of steep rocky terrain. What gives? Please somebody make me feel better...... strick

  4. I know you have a separate thread for issues with Minelab Steve, but this is such a flawed way to run a business; lack of communication with your customers. And it can easily be changed, it just takes some care.

  5. Thank you Chuck for your nice comments and for purchasing our product! The Fors Gold+ shipment has arrived in the USA and I am sure they will distribute it soon to dealers.

  6. This last Saturday we attended the Lake George Gem and Mineral Club meeting where Richard Frettered and his partner Jean Cowman spoke about how they found through research from numerous sources a topaz source and filing a mining claim where a number of peachy colored topaz gems ( which are rare ) were recovered. The largest was 3,634 carats and faceted into a 1,345 carat gem.

  7. I'm far from a professional when it comes to gold..... If I could figure out their language then I could figure out the country and I'd be on my way... I have a passport that I've only used once but I would be happy to join in on the gunny sack brigade under the excavator as long as Klunker was at the helm. strick

  10. Fisher Gold Bug 2 - 71 kHz Minelab Eureka Gold - 6.4, 20, and 60 kHz White's GMT/Goldmaster series 48 - 50 kHz Makro Gold Racer 56 kHz. But what sets the Gold Racer apart is the full complement of discrimination options and other features. This is basically what I tried years ago to get White's Electronics to make. The White's GMT was actually an early offshoot of the MXT project. The GMT and MXT share a lot under the hood. I asked White's to please, please make an MXT running at GMT frequencies. It seemed a no-brainer to be as there would have been nothing like it on the market. It apparently went in the round file with my underwater TDI and other desired units. The applications here for gold prospecting are obvious. Now you know why I sold my Gold Bug 2 and some other units. Why own several when one can do all I need? Talk about a screaming hot jewelry detector. The high frequency should lead to some interesting performance characteristics for relic and coin hunting also. There will be downsides - all high freq detectors are chatty and for some applications there is such a thing as too much sensitivity to tiny stuff. It can't possibly work well in wet salt sand. Overall however I am just excited to see something that is actually not like anything else currently available from any other manufacturer. Things I know and can talk about. The handle angle has been changed to be more comfortable than that on the previous Racer models. And the wireless module (optional) has been upgraded and is no longer the Bluetooth version that people complained about on the Racer but some kind of 2.4 Ghz system that should eliminate the Bluetooth lag. Fingers crossed. Specifications and Details on the Makro Gold Racer Detailed Review Of Makro Gold Racer By Steve Herschbach Makro and Nokta like all companies make mistakes but I have never seen any company respond so aggressively in so short a time to suggested changes. It gets them a lot of credit with me just to see a company trying so hard to please. It is refreshing compared to what we have all become accustomed to.

  11. Doesn`t matter what the numbers are, as SS`s thread shows, we all leave gold, stings and gets to our competitive nature. Makes us want to do better.
