Labs Gold Bug Metal Detector, Black (GOLDBUG)

Well worth it. It works great

Still just a beginner I like to coin hunt at local parks in the play areas where the swing sets and slides are. The Gold Bug is an awesome coin shooter. Just set the detector to "all metal mode" and set the discrimination to 70 and it will reject almost all trash and only detect coins. I am still learning how to detect other items but coins are so easy. I stopped at a local park on the way to work this morning using the machine for the second time and in just over 1 hour this is my total haul = 14 dimes and 30 pennies, a tiny pin, a machine screw and a small piece of hardware. I also have a Garrett Pro Pinpointer that helped with quick recovery. After shooting 44 coins in 75 minutes as a noob I highly recommend the Gold Bug. While it is downplayed for finding coins I find the opposite to be true and here is the proof.

Good product but a little tricky for novice users

Fantastic metal detector. It's light weight, picks up all types of targets, and is simple to use. Can detect flakes/specks of gold with the 5 inch coil. Sidenote: I own the pro model too and there is no difference between the two except they moved the battery life indicator to the bottom middle.

Muy bueno 19khs

This machine will find gold if you are in gold country....headed that way but it will find tiny,tiny pieces of metal 3 to 4 inches in the ground so I know it will find gold if its there.I also use a Cen-tech hand held metal detector for a pin pointer....works great.So far I found many coins and objects made of metal in areas I had search with my Bounty Hunter Tracker IV before...the Fisher Gold Bug picked them up deeper. I Believe a person has to know what his machine can do by reading the instructions and taking it out in the fields and bury coins,metal at different depths to understand how it reacts and sounds and meter read outs on the machine,also the coil makes a big different too,the small coil is for small objects but will find larger objects too and the larger coil is for deeper objects but may miss small objects.The Fisher Gold Bug is a powerful machine operating at 19 kHz for the money.I have used this machine for a year and like it very much.....

This thing is a GREAT Gold Detector! Iron soil readout, easy ground balance, super simple interface and sensitive(19khz). Aside for the added manual fine tuning of the ground balance on the pro it seems to be exactly the same(using a Side by side depth/sensitivity comparison). Shares coils with the f75 (Teknetics T2), GoldBug pro (Teknetics G2) and Teknetics greek series,..I can get by fine with using the auto ground balance just fine for the price(paid only 380! great sale day I suppose). Fast FREE shipping, clean, as expected. If you are over the Gold this thing WILL tell you. Still gotta know where to look! Thank you!

Great product I would have gave you 5 stars but no gold yet lol. I wish it had a case.
