First time out with the Gold Bug Pro
Received the Gold Bug DP Thursday, but finally got out today.
Got to hunt about an hour before the skies became dark and the rain set in.
First thoughts were very promising.
Ground balance is much faster than previous machines I've used.
Extremely sensitivity to lower conductors like gold and nickels (a plus to me).
I did several air test using small gold nuggets and found this machine equal to or better than three other machines I've owned at half the cost.
I know, it might not seem like much, but one of these nickels was totally missed by another detector that cost almost three times as much as the Gold Bug.
I love the way you can adjust where the low/high tone breaks.
Stay tuned, more to come.
Re: First time out with the Gold Bug Pro
I'm kinda partial to the Gold Bug line. I have one of the older 71Khz Gold Bug II's. I use it all the time in the Gold Basin in northwestern Arizona.
It's a bear to ground balance, but is very sensitive to low conductors.
