    Beware counterfeits! Buy only through authorized distribution!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz0ERzwYssU It's illegal to import counterfeits. If you buy one, you don't actually own it since it's the embodiment of stolen property -- OUR (First Texas Products) property. Any counterfeit metal detector that arrives at the factory for repair or whatever...

    Where to rockhound? a novel idea.....

    Join the GPAA. Many gold prospecting locations have a lot of interesting rocks besides gold and the dreaded "hot rocks". Was at the Orogrande NM claim on Saturday and lots of garnet, olivine, copper minerals, colorful gossan rocks, and other stuff that looks interesting but I don't know what...

    a bit of beep history (cross-posted from Fisher Classic forum)

    The Fisher 1260-X was the first 2nd derivative motion discriminator, introduced May 1982. That discrimination method, whether in circuitry or in software, is still the foundation of single frequency discriminating metal detector design. all the way from the Bounty Hunter Junior to the Fisher...

    I quit that other forum website

    Quite a few of our fellow forum denizens post on several different forums. For me, as it relates to metal detecting, it's been pretty much Findmall and "that other treasure forum". That "other forum" has become unusable. Constantly crashes my computer, and even when it doesn't do that, it's...

    "Swarm"

    There's a new Chinese metal detector manufacturer that goes by the trademark "Swarm". Just for the record, we (Bounty Hunter) don't have anything to do with it. Anyone who wants to be punished for buying a "Swarm", all they have to do is to buy it, and that's the punishment right then and...

    Bounty Hunter -- good stuff at reasonable prices (biased but very well informed opinion)

    This post is adapted from a reply I made elsewhere to a customer inquiry about the BH Quicksilver. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * When I first came to work for Bounty Hunter in early 2003, the Quicksilver (also known as Pioneer EX) was my first project. It got done quickly, and...

    in praise of the Tracker 4

    The TK4 usually retails in the $99 to 130 range. It's been around almost forever. I don't even know who designed it, when or where. The darn thing is ugly ("muffler on a stick"), but nobody cares. The meter is almost but not quite useless (nice hood ornament), but nobody cares. Ever...

    G2 coils: 5 and 11 inch DD's only (Dec 2010)

    Discussed in more detail in the Fisher Classic thread. http://www.findmall.com/read.php?35,1332879 A coil for the G2 can be designed to work with a number of different FTP-Fisher models, so we are expecting aftermarket accessory coil manufacturers to jump in with something. The factory also...

    F-coils for the Gold Bug..... :clapping:

    The new Bug (and also Tek G2) are designed to work with the Tek "Greek series" (also known as "Frat Bros.") series DD searchcoils, which at this time (Nov 2010) consists of a 5 inch round and an 11 inch elliptical. Some people have gotten creative and plugged in other searchcoils from the...

    Gold Bug Pro and Bottle Caps :detecting:

    Most modern discriminators have difficulty with flat iron, especially steel bottlecaps. It has to do with the way the discriminator works, not with alloy plating as some people have speculated. Beginning with the T2 several years ago, our discriminators have been on the leading edge of...

    Congratulations from the land not quite down under

    Congratulations to my metal detector industry colleagues at White's, for the release of their new masthead machine, the Vision! Although it won't make my own job any easier, at least it will make it more interesting! --Dave Johnson Chief Designer, "the company in El Paso". PS: I would like...
