Nice!!!!!

 

[woof!]

[EDITED]

Please, don't anyone bother asking FTP-Fisher engineering or customer service departments about purported products coming up. Not only are we not at liberty to discuss projects that have not yet been released as products, when it comes to "internet rumor products" we may know less than you do.

Last night when I first saw this thread I was really parsed arf. I'm partly over it now. Heck, "internet rumor products" are an almost normal part of the world we live in these days, maybe eventually I'll get used to it.

I occasionally joke that when I go to work in the morning, rather than check with the boss to see what I'm supposed to be doing, I just check the forums for the latest Internet rumor.

 

[woof!]

Carl's a public figure in this industry, the fact he's working at FTP-Fisher nowadays isn't a secret, and it's been discussed some on "certain other forums". Was surprised the story didn't get much traction here.

I'm fine with what was posted about Carl. I think it's taken from an official company press release. And yes, we are VERY happy to have Carl on board.

What grated my gizzard was the "internet rumor products". The supposed information evidently came from someone inside the company, as best I can figure charlotte49er was repeating what he believed to be accurate information for public dissemination. Sorry for having jumped on 49er.

I would guess the next T2 would be third generation after having to go back and add the F70 special sauce to the original T2.

A waterproof F70 in the hands of a TV series digging up double eagles in Central Park would sell....

 

[dirtscratcher]

I will not buy new until they make a T2 3po.

In addition to the F19LTD we have more new models coming soon! The F11, F22 and F44 will be exciting new Fisher products that will take the detecting community by storm!

The Digitek and a new and improved G2 are in the works for the Teknetics line along with a 2nd generation T2, which will be waterproof. We are also working on other advanced platforms including Pulse Induction technology that will lead the industry for years to come.

Sound exciting?

[Past the already announced F19, I don't have details on the new models at this time.]

If you read what Woof says its a bunch of bull.

That ain't quite what I said. When quoting, if you ain't sure you got it right please use the "Reply With Quote" feature. Thank you.

Mostly I like the Internet but there are times I hate it.

Woof, I got it from a First Texas e-mail and also from a Jobe e-mail. (I'm a dealer for Tekentics & Fisher machines.) Since Jobe broadcast it, I didn't think I was posting anything confidential.

What I wrestled with was, "Gee, they are going to release a new Corvette. I'll just wait to by it instead of the current Corvette." Other than the F19, which we know is due out this year. There was no projected release dates for any of the other machines. They could be several years before they are released.

Woof, in the future, I'll treat this as "insider trading" and keep the releases to myself.

I really hate this forum and friendly! Of all the detecting forums out there. I get crucified for posting anything on these 2 the most. (I finally wised up and deleted my account on friendly. LOL)

 

[woof!]

49er, my "use the quote feature" comment was directed at Dirtscratcher, not at you. You didn't do anything wrong. And Dirtscratcher wasn't intentionally misquoting me, he'd just misunderstood my post.

This embarrassing incident led to a bit of a behind-the-scenes kerfuffle within the company, and I'm probably the individual who came closest to getting "physical punishment". But the dust has settled, and we're happy campers again.

Wishing you the best,

--Dave Johnson

You keep on posting. Fisher is the one with issues, slapping a new coat of paint on a GoldbugPro and calling it "the greatest relic machine ever" when several existing models are clearly better, with the F70 far deeper and less expensive.

Fisher's new F19 Edsel model is all about marketing, not performance.

You are right I misunderstood. That is just what I took from it.
