First off, I want to say it takes alot to make me buy and try a new machine. I do alot of research and talk to numerous guys that are trying them in the field. What caught my eye about the Vista Gold was some videos from diggers showing depth in the ground. Air test are okay but the real test is in the ground. I was blown away by what I saw as far as depth and discrimination. More then just hype for sure. My very first thought after watching videos was this machine could be the total package. So, I bit the bullet and bought one. The first site I took my Gold to was near Bovina, a place every machine under the sun had hunted. One hill in particular had been severely pounded. I went down the side of the hills and dug bullets and buttons at depths I had never seen before, length of my sharp shooter blade. I got down so deep on the 1st bullet that I thought my machine was falsing. LOL The Vista Gold is a beast at depth. Work got in the way for awhile but finally found time to take the Gold to a iron infested ghost town I hunted years ago and thought had been sufficiently hunted out. Wrong! The Vista Gold pulled out deep relics all around the iron. Pics of finds below.
