    The Fisher Gold Strike metal detector was introduced in 2002 and was discontinued in 2006. It is a 30 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at gold nugget detecting. "The gold detector of the future, here today! The Fisher Gold Strike takes over where our legendary Gold Bug series of detectors left off. The high-sensitivity Gold Strike comes equipped with advanced new features designed to revolutionize gold detecting and make your treasure hunting adventures “golden.” " Source: Fisher 2002 catalog Fisher Gold Strike metal detector Fisher Gold Strike control panel NEW Fisher TRAK AFS© - Adaptive Feedback System (patent pending) NEW F.A.C.T. - Fisher Adaptive Coil Technology (patent pending) Innovative 2-tone audio system (simultaneous “all-metal” and “good target”) Two search modes: true “all-metal” mode and “disc” mode All new digital I/O — keypad and large LCD with constant control read-out Fast, automatic ground-tracking system Precision auto-ground balance system 30 kHz Operation on 10” or 6 1/2” elliptical coil Optional manual ground balance Extreme accuracy on iron discrimination Automatic hot-rock elimination See small gold nuggets behind hot rocks Last-setting / favorite-setting memory feature Automatic low battery indicator Audio alert for large target and low battery Lightweight with cushioned armrest and grip Hip-mount configuration & 3-piece handle Lifetime Limited Warranty Fisher Gold Strike Color Brochure Fisher Gold Strike Owner's Manual First Texas (Fisher) Forum

    If I put my non-V rated Bigfoot on my V3i all the target id numbers in 22.5 kHz are wrong. If I run it in 2.5 kHz or 7.5 kHz, all is well. Go to 22.5 kHz or multifrequency, and the target id numbers for the high frequency are about triple what they should be. Most coins go so high as to wrap around and go low into the ferrous range. Long story short, just for fun, try the coil in each of the frequency options and see what you get.

    You did indeed Jason, and credit where credit is due. I'm just finally catching up to you! Official FCC website report on GPX 6000 https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/Z4C-0039/4856998.pdf "In additional to above mentioned documents, pursuant to Public Notice DA 04-1705 of the Commission’s policy, in order to comply with the marketing regulations in 47 CFR §2.803 and the importation rules in 47 CFR §2.1204, while ensuring that business sensitive information remains confidential until the actual marketing of newly authorized devices. We are requesting the commission to grant short-term confidentiality request on the following attachments until: 18 December 2020. External Photos Internal Photos Test Setup Photos User Manual"

    Nice finds! Your little gold pendant matches a gold bracelet I found in Hawaii back in 2014

    The FCC website has a Confidentiality Letter that requests the user manual and photos not be revealed until October 19: "We are requesting the commission to grant short-term confidentiality request on the following attachments until 19 October 2020. External Photos, Internal Photos, Test Setup Photos, User Manual" So in theory by October 19th we could have photos and a user manual available for download. However, the website has availability notes now appended to those document listings, and they are calling for a December 18, 2020 release of the information. When I started this thread I went by the requested date in the letter. I recently changed it to reflect the change in the information availability dates listed on the FCC website. The information has already been submitted and the FCC has it, but you don’t get to see it until December. From the FCC at least. Minelab can always release info earlier than that if they choose to do so. In either case it is a short wait now to see what Minelab has cooking for gold prospectors.

    Certainly could be an issue with the coil - not uncommon with the V. Can’t hurt to make sure the coil type is properly set.... “Loop Selection allows you to tell V3i which loop you are currently using. V3i will use this to adjust target depth readings to compensate for loop size. If you are using an aftermarket loop, select the factory loop that is closest in size.“ As far as I know that setting only affects the depth reading, but like I said, it can’t hurt. V3i Factory Reset

    https://codan.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/FINAL-INVESTOR-PRESENTATION-20-Aug-20.pdf Metal detector sales up 30% (Recreational 11%, Gold Prospecting 42%) - Africa is the largest market by far (due to gold prospecting detectors) - New gold prospecting model coming GPX 6000 - X-Terra and Safari discontinued - Thirty million invested in Engineering / R&D. No wonder the competition can't keep up! I found it interesting that even with the new Vanquish and Equinox, sales growth is heavily weighted to the gold prospecting models, illustrating the relative size of the markets. The big money is in gold prospecting detectors, as further evidenced by sales in Africa in particular. And although a new GPX model is specifically indicated, there is no such hint about a new coin detector release soon. FY21 OUTLOOK Well positioned for FY21: • Strong start to the year and in line with FY20 • Demand for our metal detection products remains strong • Minelab will benefit from a full year of Vanquish® sales and the release of a new gold detector • Current travel restrictions may impact Tactical Communications business development • Minetec is expected to return to profitability • Strong balance sheet allows us to explore strategic opportunities Business update at virtual AGM on 28th October 2020

    X-Coil makes aftermarket coils for the GPZ and Nugget Finder has one in the works.

    It is not a reprimand. As I explained, people who are first time posters promoting companies and sales with links are almost 100% of the time spammers. It would not have been an issue had your first posts not been promotional in nature. I'm sorry you got caught up in all that, but you have no idea just how much of this stuff I have to deal with. I've got a great success rate, but am only human and screw up now and then.
  16. Steve Herschbach
    You do, and I rescinded the ban because you indicated you would stop. I’m questioning that decision after your last post and the parts I deleted. People here know how to shop. I don’t mind known, longer term members here passing on info about the deals. I do it myself sometimes. Until you have reached that point please refrain mentioning company names and prices etc. and stick to detecting and detector finds. Thanks.
  17. Steve Herschbach
    Probably silver, for sure if stamped .925. And probably not a diamond. Nice find regardless!

    Most people here seem to have outfitted with other headphones before Patriot put theirs out. That’s what happened to me at least.

    Deteknix first appeared about five years ago. Then, as Jeff notes, Deteknix was caught lifting technology from First Texas. They then promptly changed their name to Quest. Quest 40 Report

    Google Search Click the link. You can see past versions of the board are different. The 2010 version is marked “Rev 3” in the upper left corner. Your board lacks that moniker, and has no doubt changed more than once in the last decade, which as in Rev 3 even in 2010. Interesting FT "19 kHz Models" Modification

    It’s meaningless marketing fluff. First Texas constantly tweaks machines as new components arrive, and it’s quite possible those two ancient “processors” have been replaced with a single modern component.
  23. Steve Herschbach
    Yeah, the marketing folks mentioned this early on. More is better, you know.

    There were quite a few sold before the name change, first Vision, then V3, then V3i. Units were shipping when Garrett made a fuss about having the rights to “Treasure Vision”, and the change was made. My Vision with Bigfoot coil... White’s V3i Information & Review

    Always nice to see finds measured in ounces or pounds Troy instead of grams! Great score Chris, I’m sure you worked hard for it. 👍🏻
