The link to White's page from your metal-detector-database page gets a 404 error, but still takes you to their website. I searched through their products pages, including 'beach detectors' and 'waterproof detectors' and can't find it. Plenty of dealers have them so if they have been discontinued it’s news. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People kept waiting for it to appear but it never did. Fisher may have run into a problem with this current project, and it may or may not enter production. Testing prototypes plus talking about their features and performance is NOT a guarantee that the product will ever be produced. Throughout the world there are electronic prototypes sitting on dusty shelves that never made it to market. You may be waiting for a product that will never be sold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Well ok I personally don’t mind the delay per se because I assume it is for good reason. There were talks of performance improvements right up until the information blackout. Well for gosh sake, if there is to be no update facility, get this thing right before release! The last thing First Texas or any of us need is another release snafu that has everyone having to send units back to the factory for updates. That seems so common sense but even the F-Pulse pinpointer had issues when it came out and it was just a pinpointer. More importantly in my mind is I am very much hoping they improve the waterproof spec of 1 meter or 3 feet. That’s basically a wader and even mask and snorkel use would be risky. I did a lot of breath hold to 6 feet myself with my other units like the ATX. In other words, a guy like me standing in deep water would not be able to sit the unit on the bottom where my feet are without exceeding three feet. Not good enough in my opinion. One quoted delay was over the waterproof thing and hopefully that means it is being improved to what is sort of a industry minimum of three meters or ten feet. If offered the choice between getting it now or getting it right, I’m all in favor of patience and getting it right. Marketing and management have got to be going crazy and putting pressure on to get it to market. Back the engineers on this one guys and give them time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
