Fisher Labs GOLDBUG CC Gold Bug Pro Combo hobbyist-Metal-Detector-Accessories, Black

So far it works great. I have not had the opportunity to take it in the desert yet. Will soon. If you decide to buy one, be sure and check for fake. You can check the serial number to make sure. Also check with the manufacturers website to verify. I had bought one (supposedly new) on Ebay. It died and was fake....

Bought this for some outdoor adventuring at my ranch in New Mexico. I take this back into the juniper forest and have found all sorts of interesting things. My favorite was the half-buried mule shoe, as shown. I have also found very old heavy equipment parts, a 1940's era thermos bottle, and a small meteorite (about a 1/4in across). Depths are usually shallow, although I found a mysterious steel pipe buried about 8 inches down in the driveway. After careful excavation, it turned out to be some random piece of pipe. I would never have known it was there without this detector, plus it helped me scour a work area for sharp metals pieces, after some construction work. I've been using this for over a year and I'm still on the first battery! Okay, I don't use it EVERY day, but I am amazed at the battery life. Be sure to add a hand-held detector. The Gold Bug gets one pretty close to the target, but the hand-held detector zeroes in. If it's small, one could really miss something good, using only the Gold Bug. Haven't found any gold nuggets yet, but if they're out there, this device will probably find it. Not flakes, though. It would probably take a small nugget to get a solid signal worth digging for. Great product; good value. Happy customer!

Works great but wish it had defining tones for the different metals or at least a video link to show what the different metal tones are like. Did what I needed it to do. I was amazed at the amount of metal it found in the middle of a National Forest away from any camp ground. but unfortunately it didn’t find any gold where I went. I’m sure it will do what it’s intended for as I learn more about it.

This detector has been mediocre at best. The readout is counterintuitive, false targets are constant, my screen got a small amount of water on it and the whole display stopped working properly. Poor design for something that belongs outdoors. Not a good overall detector, only useful if you have nuggets around and even then there are much better out there for a bit more money. I regret buying this, and they won't let me return it.

While I plan to keep this detector for my friends who want to tag along with me on my trips, I would not recommend this detector for relic hunting. Based on my experience the max depth on this machine for detecting coins is about 3 inches. This machine is really intended for gold nugget hunting.

I have found some cool stuff.

very easy to use

Finding all kinds of things....I need more practice to learn the tones the machine is sending...very very easy to use.
