Tometusns Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I saw this and wondered if they’re talking smf or just several single frequencies. Anyone heard anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☠ Cipher Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Interesting, but I’m too jaded on First Texas to believe it anymore. Even if it arrives, it will likely forgo many of the peripherals we now consider essential, like online updates, built in rechargeable battery, wireless headphones etc. First Texas can in some ways be just as tone deaf and stubborn as Whites was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Here is a better image of it from this site. It does say they've got a Multi Freaker coming in 2022, I don't know why they'd use that event to be the major announcement of their new detector. I wonder if it is a mistake. ?

Jeff McClendon Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 I have checked Red Dirt Treasure's current Facebook page very carefully which includes a hunt schedule that is laid out differently. No mention of an FTP multi frequency detector that I can see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 So was this a hoax or just a desperate attempt to keep their name relevant? At this stage it's pretty easy to say they're no longer in the game and haven't been for years, even the new coil they were coming out with seems to be non-existent. They can't even release a new coil, the Impulse AQ was a big fail and is dead in the water. I had high hopes....... I had high hopes for the Impulse Gold.... I had high hopes for the Gold Bug 3 and then it was a Gold Bug 2.1 which was worse than the Gold Bug 2 and they only did that as they were forced to due to components no longer existing to make an antique detector. It's sad to see another metal detector manufacturer dead but I'm willing to call it now, First Texas is the next Whites when it comes to metal detectors. They may kick on in their current form selling their antiques but to me that may as well be dead. The counterfeiters are making more money off their detectors than they are now, a lot more. ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 Fisher has been working on a new multifrequency for about a decade. I think it's safe to say with First Texas now that speculating on when new models, or even accessories, will be available, is a complete waste of time. Believe it when dealers have it in stock for sale, and not before. The deal with the new coil in particular simply defies any sense of reality with what is going on there. Hopefully something develops with them this year, but the year is going fast, and the company dead silent. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 At least they got a good pin pointer to market before the heartbeat stopped. I'm quite happy with my F-pulse for a beach environment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
