Fisher Gold Strike
If you are looking for Fisher Gold Strike Metal Detector then you are in the right place.
My neighbor has a Fisher Gold Strike. This detector was well liked a few years ago when it first came out… then Fisher mysteriously quit manufacturing it and now only makes the Gold Bug 2.
I have heard of no one who didn’t like this detector. It looks a lot like the CZ7 with the flat surface push button controls.
This 30 kHz detector is the first Fisher to provide operators with a constant control readout. It boasts a digital LCD display, fast automatic ground balancing, two-tone ID system, advanced digital signal processing, and a 10.5” elliptical coil. Some of the other exciting features include; an automatic low battery warning, an automatic signal overload warning, F.A.C.T. (alerts the operator when the coil is not properly installed), 3 memory locations to store your favorite settings, and an LCD backlight for hunting in low-light situations.
I don’t know why Fisher discontinued this detector I was out in the feild with another $1000 gold detector I noticed the Gold$trike was much more sensitive to smaller pieces of gold and other metals, also it has the ability to reject hot rocks and detect gold underneath them where my other gold detector does not, this is almost cutting edge for its ability to detect very very small pieces of gold!! Once you learn how it behaves in black sand and how to set it up properly for mineralized soil it works very well.
Overall this is a very good prospecting detector. To bad it’s no longer made. This is a link to the manual – Gold Strike Manual

The improvements in technology have corresponded inversely to the number of people using them. Metal detecting for gold as well as treasure has become very popular. Erosion during the past century has exposed millions of tons of virgin substrata for prospectors of today, and metal detectors will increase the chance of discovering new placers.
There’s no better expert on metal detector technology than Garrett. Great as those detectors are, they require some training to use them. Garrett provides the best ‘how-to’ advice available. His book will give you the straight-forward means to practice with it before you begin trekking into the canyons or sweeping old school yards for coins.

Another story from the UK
Keith Bennett was using his metal detector on a Stratford farm owner’s field when his metal detector suddenly alerted him of a strong signal. This strong signal turned out to be over 1,400 Roman coins (or Denarii as they were called back in the day) dating back between 2006 BC to 195 BC! The coins have already been deemed “authentic treasure” which is good in case someone was trying to play a big practical joke on Mr. Bennett.
The silver Roman coins were stashed in a large pot (4 feet deep) that was broken on the top half. It seems as though the pot had been struck when the field was being plowed, causing a few coins to be scattered around the pot. Since this was a rather large collection of coins, it is possible that they could be tied to a wealthy land owner back in Emperor Augustus (or perhaps earlier) reign.
This treasure is expected to bring in tens and thousands of pounds, and Mr. Bennett supposedly allowed to keep half; I can only imagine the sensation of coming across such a historic find. As you can imagine he was quite stunned as you can reflect from his words:
“I just had an incredible feeling of history and going back in time. I felt a sense of connection with the person who buried these coins all those years ago. I wondered who they were and why they didn’t come back for it. It was brilliant – an experience everyone should have.”
Learn how to do it and you still mightn’t find gold treasure who knows, but you’ll certainly find the greatest treasure of them all: solitude.
