Subject: Poor timing re: burying the Goldbug I
In reply to: Steve Herschbach 's message, "Gold Bug R.I.P." on 14:04:14 04/16/02 Tue

Fisher may have seriously goofed by discontinuing the Goldbug I. It works better in mineralized soil than does the Goldbug II; here in the Mojave Desert you see about 5 Goldbug I's for each Goldbug II. And, considering that the Goldstrike has proven to be a miserable disaster (judging from the private comments made to me by Fisher dealers, and the very public comments from disgruntled users I have heard at the Gold Shows) then Fisher ought to re-consider killing off the Goldbug I. One dealer told me that the current Fisher dealer newsletter supposedly says "Do not believe all those negative comments made on the internet prospecting forums about the Goldstrike. They are untrue; they are being made by former Goldbug II users." If that is indeed true, then somebody in Los Banos oughta read the writing on the wall.... before the wall collapses on 'em. HH Jim
