Any one get a Gold+ yet?

Just wondering if any of these had showed up yet? Im waiting on a feld test before I decide to get an F19 or a Gold+
 
decision ... the Nokta FORS Gold+. That's because I know how the F19's and FORS CoRe compared in a few different test scenarios, for Coin & Jewelry Hunting, for me, especially in Relic Hunting dense iron contaminated sites. I also have two small gold 'pickers' in a sterile glass vile that I have used for a few decades to evaluate gold nugget hunting potential of any detector I have in-hand, and the FORS CoRe w/'OOR' DD coil, as well as the Makro Racer w/'OOR' and 5½X10 DD coils bettered the responsiveness of the F19's with the 5" DD or stock 5X10 DD coils.

I can only imagine that the FORS Gold + will likely have some enhanced performance at the higher operating frequency, comparable with the F19 group, not to mention the two motion-based Discriminate modes [size=small](Fast and Boost)[/size] to provide additional search options for some tough ground mineral challenges to complement the Threshold-based All Metal mode.

With an MSRP of only $799 and it includes two search coils [size=small](the 5½X10 and 5" DD's)[/size] and some of the most comfortable, well-balanced packaging in the industry, I don't know how an F19 could compete. I didn't like the nose-heavy feel of the F19's with just the stock 5X10 DD.

I have moved close to gold nugget hunting country, but my mobility isn't like it used to be to work the terrain and cover the distances I used to, so I'll have to make do with what I now own and use for Relic Hunting and working some mining camp sites. However, if my budget allows me come next spring or summer, I might get the Gold + if I am able to get into some more favorable nugget potential areas.

Thanks for the response Monte. I have been reading your post and have great respect for your opinion. I have been drooling over the Core for awhile now. I have a Gold Bug pro and have done ok with it. I was going to get the Core but with the new gold+ coming out I am looking at that being a better fit for me. I live in gold country and coin shooting is not really my thing. The only thing I can say about GBP/F19 is that I can get a 3x7 coil from NEL for it and not for the GOLD+. I really like this size coil for working bedrock. I guess I will have to hope Nokta comes out with the coil I want. I do like the idea of a concentric coil on the GOld+
