  1. In time I'll be doing some field demonstration videos with this detector, as soon as it warms up and dries out some more.
  2. I've certainly found quartz that showed nothing on the exterior that had some gold on the inside. It wont take much to sound off on your detector.
  3. I requested they market the same for the US 9 months ago, but I'm not a retailer and they pretty much ignored my suggestion. I suggested they start marketing it right away last summer, and they waited until now to start marketing it. I should stop making suggestions to FT, and just work with a retailer.
  4. The new video is out. The tracker is sensitive to gold down to about 0.1 grams in size. I use lead in the testing because lead responds to the detector the same as gold. The GB 2 will hit gold down to around 0.005 grams. But the tracker is half the price and much easier to use.
  5. You know they are virtually the same except one extra button on the GBP (for manual ground balance) that is not on the GBT.
  6. Which is why we are temporarily out of stock here in the US.
  7. Did you contact High Plains prospectors? I think they have a couple. Use this link for a discount - the discount code is built in. Gold bug tracker purchase link: https://highplainsprospectors.com/products/fisher-goldbug-tracker?ref=CHRISRALPH
  8. As far as my testing, yes it is accurate on coins.
  9. I know that the crew here on Steve's forum is mostly very experienced and knowledgeable folks who run high quality, advanced detectors. The Tracker is definitely not a detector targeted at them, but I figured there would be a general interest in this detector, maybe just as a curiosity. I think there has been that type of interest. I'm not trying to sell anybody anything - I'm not a detector dealer.
  10. Like ML, Garrett and others, no one announces anything until it is on the verge of being released.
  11. Again, really easy to say... Why doesn't ML do it and produce the GM 2000? It would be a big seller for them too. Because an accurate TID at 50 kHz or 70 kHz is way different than having it at 19 kHz or 5 kHz for that matter.
  12. Easy to say when one has no idea of the electronic design and engineering involved.
  13. I'm sure it is a good coin machine but the fact its marketed with a large coil and 15 kHz is the "high" frequency shows that its intended as a coin and relic detector.
  14. Phrunt - Yes, this is also true with the Tracker. Overall the tracker is slightly less sensitive than the GB Pro, this is the cost of no threshold and always on auto ground balance. The difference is small but it is there.
  15. Minelab have never even touched the low cost segment of the market, and so has invited others to step in and take over. Fisher had obliged and has sold many of these detectors in Africa and will sell many in the US and elsewhere. I have seen some other stuff they have under development that is more advanced.
