The gold bug pro is an awesome coin shooter. Works both as a coin shooter and a nugget shooter. When my husband chooses one to bring with him on our gold prospecting trips, he uses it all over the tailings to check for nuggets.

Light and easy to use, and is built very sturdy. Hope to find lots of yellow gold. Good luck to you all.

Fantastic metal detector. Works well and the iron discrimination is much better than expected.

Nice, intermediate beginner model. Has a nice manual. Can be used with garret at gold or garrett at pro.

    There are a ton of videos on youtube that showcase this detector if you want to see what you can actually do with one

    Depths are usually shallow although i found a mysterious steel pipe buried about 8 inches down in the driveway


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    After careful excavation it turned out to be some random piece of pipe


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The gold bug gets one pretty close to the target but the handheld detector zeroes in


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    If its small one could really miss something good using only the gold bug


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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
