    Good morning all. I understand that having GOOD headphones are a must have for hearing deep targets (check). My question is this... In disc mode (say a setting of 27-33 or so), what EXACTLY am I supposed to "listen for"? A soft, weak maybe even, REPEATABLE sound? Ferrous or non Ferrous...

    GHOST HOLES?

    Has anyone ever experienced this with their Goldbug or G2? Let me explain. On Monday, I got to use the GBPro with the 13 inch coil for the first time. At times I would get a higher tone signal. I would dig. And dig. And dig. When trying to pinpoint, I would lower the coil into the hole as...

    I did it...

    I finally pulled the plug and got a Gold Bug Pro COMBO with the 5" DD small & 10" elliptical DD Waterproof Search Coils.

    Thursday's CW finds...Sigh. Not a big day

    Well, went down to Kentucky on Thursday. I found my largest piece to a 12 lb artillery shell, which I am excited about. I just wish that I didn't live 4 hours away from this site, or I would be hunting a lot more often! The small square nails were abundant down here, and I included 2 in the...
