hey there... i was wanting to post a questine about a metal detector, that i was hopeing some one could give me some feed back on???? you see i am use to high end detectors like a x-terra 70 pro. . but now i want to try the gold bug metal detector, the last time i was at my autherized dealer he tried to push one on me, since he knew i hunted for gold. and.. at the time i new that even my e-terra 70 had problems with the gross amount of hot rocks that just drive the detector crazy.the dealer could not establish if i could tune out the highly iron rocks, and just pick up the gold like it should. i want to get one but would like - i say..some feed back.fred.
rick! thats mighty nice of you and thanks i will take you up on the offer. just let me know when your in the hood and i can meet you. even if its for a few hours...
Fred in my experience, the Fisher GoldBug II is a superior machine that can be tuned by hand to work in very heavily mineralized soils. We use them extensively at Rich Hill in Arizona, as well as Minelab GPX machines. I have watched people find small gold with the GoldBug II, that Minelabs will walk over. Watch the GoldBug II in action on one of our Nugget Shooting adventures at Rich Hill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izWOQ7WcR34

I have a GBII that you can try out when I get you up here for a prospecting trip.
