F19 or gold bug Pro??

[JJames1610]

I have been reading about both, but would like to ask because I am thinking of adding one more detector.
I am not a coin hunter but I do that from time to time. Which detector would you pick for looking for buried cache's? That could be one to three feet deep. Would love to hear input before making my decision. Thanks ahead of time.

For cache locating, the F75 or T2 would be a better choice.

Dave, you not working. Oh, guess you are. Have a great weekend, Dave. HH jim tn

As always Mr. Johnson is right on with his answer, I'd add 2 cents more. One foot is about the limit of the two machines you asked about, depending on the cache size and constriction. If you are seriously hunting a possible 3 foot deep cache you are probably not going to see a say mason jar of coins even with the F75 or T2. A two box cache unit like a Gemini 3 would be much more likely to see such a deep item. It is not a traditional detector, but a dedicated one for such a hunt. A simple google search will provide all the information on this model or ones like it.

Yep I've found mason jar caps at over a foot with my F75. But nothing deeper and it don't happen all the time. hh rick in mi

Sorry I hit the post to soon. I ran the gold bug pro for a season and was not happy with what i was trying to hunt . Its a beutiful machine don't get me wrong. The learning curve was to much for my simple mind lol. I stand beside the F75.

 

[JJames1610]

Wow, a T2. Never thought about that one. I have owned aF75 it was a pretty deep detector I could tell, but it just made to much noise for me. I would have to lower the sensitivity to much for my liking.
Is the T2 like that, or is it more quiet? Thanks

Both the new F-75 and the T2 have DST shielding... "most EMI" is not a problem for either machine .

Thanks, that is information that helps.
So they have changed them up a little since I had one.

The F 75 LTD2 DST is a whole different beast then the previous two 75's I had and probably yours, too. Very quiet running and a couple of new modes that depending on the situations, are a great aid in recovering good targets. Good luck! HH jim tn

 

[JJames1610]

Wow, thanks. That is why I like this forum. Information you can get on here is hard to find.

I'd definitely say the F19.
The Ff19 is a Gold Bug Pro +++
They actually started with the GBP and added to it.
It locks on good targets.
I've got one and very happy with it.
hope this helps
