Like my metal detector, I am a Gold Bug. I use the detector regularly to check my tailings from dredging and high banking. Since I have access to mine tailings, I also use the detector to search for hot spots in the tailings. This is where I dig with my skid steer and haul the tailings home for processing.
The Gold Bug 2 fits my needs very well and I would recommend this detector to anyone looking to upgrade or become a first time buyer. One very important aspect to detecting is the legalities. Restrictions are becoming more and more prevalent in today's society and I hope that we can band together to save those properties now open and gain access to many that are closed. Responsible detecting is more and more important and everyone using a detector needs to be educated on the etiquette of filling holes and gaining landowner permission and permits when necessary.

I like to prospect for Gold, and never have the time or money to use a dredge. My favorite is sniping for small pockets of Gold. Before I received the Gold Bug I would look for places that I thought would have Gold, it could be hours spent panning or sluicing for nothing.
The Gold Bug is easy to use, ground balance is easy and stable even in mineralized soil. Now I can spend time on working pockets that have more of promise of Gold. Even on the pockets that have no Gold, I find enough Black Sand to know I am at least on the right track. I now find twice as much Gold as without Using the Gold Bug.

I've only been hunting a few times but what I really love to hunt for is nuggets! The Fisher Gold Bug is really good for that.
However, when I want to look for coins and relics, the Gold Bug isn't that great, too much trash.
I know I'm a novice hunter, but I would think there has got to be better machines that will do it all. I'm not so great at setting the discrimination, to suit the type of soil I'm searching in. I have found a few small nuggets reasonably close to the surface. I have found several pennies nickels dimes and quarters but thousands of pieces of trash, it gets exasperating some times.
I also have a Tesoro. It seems to be a little better, but again with lots of trash. My plans are to do lots of traveling in a few years, my wife and I plan to semi-retire, do contract work in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and maybe a few places she wants to visit too. My new hobby is treasure hunting, I've got a feeling my wife will love it too.
I think I would recommend the Gold Bug to experienced metal detectorists, but probably not to someone as new as myself. You never know before you buy, do you? I'm going to keep my Gold Bug for nugget hunting in AZ, and CA because I'm sure I'll get better using it, and fine tuning the controls. I wouldn't mind trying a Whites from what I read, it might have been the one for me to start off with. I'm a member of the GPAA and every thing I buy will eventually get a good workout.
