    bigger coil on my GBP?

    I am looking at getting a bigger coil to complement my GBP. I already have the 5" and 5"x10" coils. I am looking at a coil more like the NEL hunter, tornado or Ultimate 13. Leaning toward the hunter for the price. What all do you use. THis will be for tailing piles and some field use. Thanks

    Sovereign vs gold bug pro for iron infested sites?

    I have a Sovereign elite and a Gold bug pro. I only have large coils of the Sov because I got it to use at the beach. I have the 5" and 5"x10" coils for the GBP. My question is if I get a small coil for the Sov like the S-5 will it out perform the GBP in really bad iron? I dont want to wast...

    Gold bug pro someone please help?

    I have a Gold bug pro, version 4 with a 5" and 5x10 coil. Here is my problem. It almost never gives me a good target id in the ground. In my soil it usually is ground balanced between 78 and 85 mostly about 81/82. In the air I get clean targets ids 57/58 on a nickle 87/88/89 on a quarter...

    Emi and sheilding problem?

    I have a Elite with the 10" coil. It has the bad coil wire problem where all the rubber fell off the wire. The coil still seems to work but has bad EMI in many areas. My 10x12 is way better. Does the rubber help block EMI? Have any of you had the same problem and found a fix? I was thinking...

    wtb sov coil

    I bought an elite on ebay and it came with a 10" coil. The coil works but it has that bad coil wire problem that the tornados sometimes got. I didnt know when I bought it. Now I have to get a new coil before I can run it anywhere wet. Hoping to find a sunray 12 or 10x12 sef that I can afford...

    vid stability

    I have a GBP with 5"and5"×10". I have heard reports of fairly accurate vids on these. I personally haven't experienced this. I find this to be especially true with nickels. The vids tend to be very jumpy. Am i doing something wrong?

    Gold bug pro chattyness

    I have a gold bug pro and really like the machine. Its fast has a fairly accurate tid and is light. My one problem is its chatty. I dont have experience with any other machines like it. I have used a few other gold machines, namely GM2 and GMT. They seemed to be a little less chatty. Do...

    10 x12 dd tip

    I think this has already been stated buy another member but I thought I would re post the general idea. After doing my experiment at the lake today. I wend and did some normal detecting with the 10x12 dd. As anyone who has one knows they love steel bottle caps. However if you get a good...

    Experiment

    I propose an experiment. Go to a place you think good stuff should be. Mark of an area (not too big) and detect it at your normal settings. then turn the detector to all metal mode and dig everything that beeps. Hit it from multiple directions, do your best to find every target in the area...

    Outlaw and Clean sweep coil

    I have been running my Outlaw and CSC combo lately and here are my observations. Its not deep so you really have to keep it low. I keep the disc pointed right at foil. If you are cherry picking open fields its a great coil. If you only dig good signals you will dig little trash. Not really...

    GB pro and rings

    I have observed something interesting about gold rings and my GB pro. I always carry a white gold ring and my wedding band when I go out detecting. I was at the lake the other day and did some testing. I put the rings in a hole about 6" down and tested. I got tids from high 30s to mid 80s...

    Nugget busters vs Gray ghosts

    I have been looking at these and am wondering if there is an advantage to the Nugget busters? I know they dont have the volume limiter like the Ghosts, but is that important. I figured that its all about the faint sounds not the lout ones, so why no limiter for nuggets? I am getting a gold...
