  • Great entry level detector
Size: GoldBug-Pro
Very happy with mine. Great quality and good instruction book. Good yet affordable unit to start with.

  • GREAT METAL DETECTOR-EASY TO USE!
Size: GoldBug-Pro
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! ... show more

  • Check the condition of the box and contents when you get it.
Size: GoldBug-ProCCMB
This is a reorder as my 10" coil was not in the box in the previous order. When I received the first detector and opened the box it looked like it had just been thrown into the box and sealed. The instruction book was not wrapped, the detector was not wrapped like it should have been. There were places in the corners where the detector stems/rods should have been place in but weren't. It was obvious the detector was a return when it was supposed to be a new in the box detector. The little tab that had to be pulled out to enable the battery to operate was not in the detector head. This all told me that it seemed to be a return from a previous purchaser. I returned that one due to be an incomplete order since the coil was missing. I received the new detector yesterday (20th of Feb) and as soon as I opened the box, I could tell it was in fact a new detector as everything was wrapped in a plastic bag that should have been. The rods were in the slots made for them to sit in too. The pull-tab was still intact too. Hey, I did get what I actually ordered. Kudos to the shipper for sending the correct items this time. So, take my advice ladies and gentlemen. If you order something from Amazon carefully examine the contents and how they have been packed. It your order looks like it was just dumped into the box, more than likely it is a return. This order was filled by the one down in Plainfield Indiana. I never had trouble with orders from Amazon until this order. Now, the detector will be a learning curve for me since I was used to the Minelab Explorer II. Damned good machine but it would not detect gold. So, I bought the Fisher Gold Bug Pro. The book seems to be something that a child could set up after the book is read. Now, if the weather would stop snowing and mother nature would make everything warm up and dry, I will be out learning this detector. Good Luck to you all. ... show more

  • There are more capable detectors out there!
Size: GoldBug-ProCCMB
This detector has been mediocre at best. The readout is counterintuitive, false targets are constant, my screen got a small amount of water on it and the whole display stopped working properly. Poor design for something that belongs outdoors. Not a good overall detector, only useful if you have nuggets around and even then there are much better out there for a bit more money. I regret buying this, and they won't let me return it. ... show more
