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.

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

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

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

It would probably take a small nugget to get a solid signal worth digging for

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
