[meteorite-list] - Fisher Gold Bug owners?

2009-06-01 Thread Linton Rohr
Greetings listees. I know some of you prefer to use the Fisher Gold Bug II metal detectors. I've been watching for a pre-owned model and what I'm wondering is... Is the difference between the Gold Bug II and the original subtle, or substantial? Should I bother with the original at a good price,

The second version has a substantially higher frequency so it's really hot on metal. John Wolfe's can pick up some gold basin L's and Palo Verde Mine L's that a GMT can't. He showed me some very nice specimen gold too. With my Dad's Gold Bug Origional, I have found bird shot 8 inches deep, as

Hi Gary sorry to hear about this loss. I will be interested to hear some of the non US dealers and sellers answer here. I know when I buy from other countries I use either Pay pal or a major credit card. I did one time have a problem with a decent sized Muonionalusta never arriving. So I reported

Aloha Gary, I'd also like to know more about seller's experiences collecting insurance from the USPS. They tell me that unless you can document a tangible basis for cost that you paid (invoice, receipts, etc.) you can not collect even though you hasve paid for insurance. This is difficult

Aloha Gary, G'Day List, in the interest of the buyer, to avoid paying high import duties, we hardly state the correct contents (we state iron meteorites as 'native iron specimens) and declare a much lesser value, so the customer does not have to pay import tax. But that is a dual agreement

Thank you, Erik. Based on that, I'll try to find myself a Gold Bug II, but if I come across a good deal on the original model, that might be fine to get started with. Linton Erik Fisler erikfwebb at msn.com Mon Jun 1 04:14:52 EDT 2009 Previous message: [meteorite-list] - Fisher Gold Bug owners?

Hello, A quick side note about Fisher Gold Bug's I and II . I have both and sometimes I can't tell the difference between the two. I use my old one -GB1, 80% of the time. In fact, I found over 1 1/2 ounces of gold nuggets this week. Better yet, in WEST, Texas I found nearly 200 grams of

Michael, they both can pick up an L6 Chondrite but the gold bug origional will have more of a problem with basalt like at Gold Basin or Franconia. The higher frequency makes a big difference when in hot ground. [Erik] From: linton...@earthlink.net To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com
