Digger Jones Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi Steve Just wondering if there is any new news on the Fisher rumors that were being talked about 6 months or so ago. I.e. multi frequency units. Pi units, etc. Anyone feel free to chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Simce this thread from a year and a half ago, nothing further has surfaced. You can bet however that Dave Johnson, Carl Moreland and the rest of the engineering group at First Texas are doing more than just re-arranging the buttoms and knobs on the current Fisher and Teknetics machines. What the result of their ongoing development efforts will be and when they will reach the market - nobody who has real information on that is about to say anything.

You mean Carl Moreland of Geotech works for First Texas? If so I'd say they must be serious about getting into the PI world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K - First Member Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Carl works for FT - as I understand it, he is the guy responsible to manage the engineering team - Dave Johnson is the Chief Enginner (or some title very much like that).

Mike C... Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Come on Fisher Mike C... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Jones Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 It would be real nice to see someone come in and shake up the pi market! Minelab pretty much has a stranglehold on that now. Some serious competition would be welcome! Hopefully Fisher isn't the only company that is working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dawg Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The CZX nugget detector Dave Johnson is working on is of great interest to me. I want something lightweight and high tech to replace my Gold Bug 2, after just getting back from 5 days at rye patch last week, had the GB2 bunjee'd to my Honda CT110, it fell over in camp maybe critter tunnels under the stand, had tested but after couple hrs it fell, squashing the armrest cuff and bent the main upper shaft, popped the main box off the shaft, managed to straighten the armrest cuff but the main upper shaft is done for, was able to use it for the remainder of the trip, found this 4.9 grain nugget with it. Full of calcite still but was almost totally covered on outside with calcite as well to start with, cleaned it up a bit. Left as is, afraid it may come apart if I acid dip the rest out. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Actually the last thread on the subject is at but nothing new since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Jones Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 That's still a nice looking nug sniper calcite or not! Sounds like that new czx couldn't come soon enough! Those Fisher rumor posts are over a year old at this point in time I would say were not going to see anything new this summer. Hopefully before Christmas so we can get a jump start on next summer!
