Metal Detector Talk Options

[Bryan K]

Alright So I have not seen too many topics on metal detectors on this forum. Without a doubt a very good tool for any serious prospectors arsenal. With so many on the market, I would like to get a group discussion going on experience, thoughts, and whats working for you. In my past I have used the Garett Treasure Ace 250. Personally I did not care for the Treasure Ace models. Right now I'm looking at a Fisher Gold Bug Pro or the gold bug pro II. I have been watching videos on people pulling out pin head size nuggets, and even detecting hot spots of gold flakes. This device has a higher frequency. It is also capable of locating coins. Seems to be a nice hybrid model. Its usually one or the other with these detectors. Either great at locating coins and not smaller sized nuggets or great at detecting nuggets and not coins. I'm personally looking for a detector that can do it all with the best bang for my buck. I Think this would be a good topic to open a discussion.

Anyone checked out the new Gold Monster? Chatted with a fella who's been having great.luck with it up in Wyoming. Looks like it's getting good reviews from the pros.

I tried the GBII and never got the hang of it. The gold monster, with no threshold and auto ground balance seems much more suited to beginners like me.

Bumping my for sale post on my GB, think I'm gonna give this one a try. EdIT: D or D, looks like my post get moved to the archive. I think I said it was sold, bit the deal fell through. Any way to being g it back to life? If not, no worries, I'll make a new one. Thanks!
