Fisher Labs Gold Bug Pro Metal Detector, Black (GOLDBUG-PRO) - Finds Small Gold Nuggets, Variable Breakpoint Tone Discrimination, Real-Time Ground Balancing, Lightweight, 19kHz Frequency

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!

Very happy with mine. Great quality and good instruction book. Good yet affordable unit to start with.

First time owner of a decent Metal detector. Works great even though I need to put more time in to the activity.

Have not used it yet. But it did not come with an armrest strap as is shown in the photos.

This detector works well in highly mineralized soils like we have here in California. I will be taking it out to gold country soon to give it a spin on some nugget shooting. Overall it works well and the iron discrimination is much better than expected. Although you do not get as much depth with the 5" coil it comes with, that thing sure is sensitive! The auto ground balance is really convenient (as well as the manual ground balance) and it also has a "pin point" feature that tells you the exact location and depth of the item you've found. I will update after my gold trip!

Cleary the item I was shipped was used. It was dirty, missing the arm strap and the battery was dead. It appears work, but I'm very disappointed that for this price it was not new.

Very happy with the Gold Bug Pro so far! Instructions are a lot easier to get started compared to my Garrett AT Gold. Very lite weight. I was disappointed after spending $800, there was no packaging to protect the detector and parts were lose inside the box. A bit expensive, by time you ship to Canada ! A good quality set of headphones and a Double DD coil supplied would be nice! But a great starter detector! Actually far easier to get started with than my Garret AT Gold. AT GOLD is great as well - both great units- highly recommend both. AT Gold is waterproof. I did upgrade the search coil to a 11" DETECH ULTIMATE coil and this coil works great for deep searching and covering more territory!

Outstanding for Gold Country and Dry Riverbeds. Not so much for Beach-Combing, because although it will find small gold and jewelry, it will also find Every other metal on the Beach, right down to the tiniest of Aluminum pieces, cigarette pack foil, barrettes, tent steaks, bottle caps and pull tabs with almost no discrimination. As I said... It finds everything! This is tuned specifically to 71khz for locating sub-gram Gold pickers and also works great for finding concentrated River-Gold deposits. However, because it is so sensitive to the tiniest bits of most metals, you will have to dig every Target on the Beach to be sure. This Item is for serious Gold Prospectors.

My second year of having fun looking for gold and peace in Quebec. After many videos and reviews, I decided to get my first detector and choose the GoldBug Pro. I chose the GDP because of the ease of use and renowned for its gold-finding abilities, and its price was also a good point. I know about fake copies, but the fact that this item is sold by Amazon gives me confidence. Now, I can assure you that this is the REAL DEAL. The box is plain, and the packing is somewhat light. The detector pieces are tied up together with strong zip ties. Nothing was damaged. The box, even if relatively plain, has some important info about your detector; date of packaging, serial number (should be the same as inside the battery compartment) and provenance (“First Texas Products”, El Paso Texas ( Fisher Labs). So far in only few trips this detectors help me find some gold and also help me identified soil with high level of magnetite where I find good amount of alluvial placer Gold. Thank You Fisher.

This product is only use for mettle not for gold and it have problem to maintain ground balance this product is is 10 years old model
