Gold Bug Pro Scores 1919 Mercury Dime Today

I almost didn't dig the target, because it was so weak and bouncy. It was surrounded with all kinds of junk, but I kept seeing a 81 flicker in all that garbage. I thought it might be a copper. I dug down a little over 6 inches and out pops my first mercury dime. The Gold Bug Pro sure can separate out the garbage from the good stuff.

BTW- 5" coil, Dis -58 Sen--100

Way to go Tabman
My first silver with the Gb was a merc as well! Yours is in much better shape.
Good Luck

Guys, just wanted to know how the Gold Bug Pro performs on gold nuggets & minerlised soils? I'm looking at getting a detector for the gold fields, so any info would be great.
 
tabman -- AWESOME coin, and it sounds like it was a tough find (all the trash almost completely masking the dime). Great decision on your part to dig what your machine was hinting at. You took what is supposedly a strength of these machines, and used it to your advantage. BRAVO!

Hey Willy46 --

These machines were DESIGNED to find gold nuggets in tough soil. Dave Johnson, one of the design engineers, has stated in another thread, that this machine was designed first and foremost as a gold machine. It should do real well. I have just bought one, and have several gold nuggets from Colorado of various sizes that I will be testing (though my soil here is not near as "hot" as what it would be in many gold-producing areas). I am going to do some thorough testing, and plan to post my results, but if you have any specific question you want me to check (for instance, how far will this machine "see" a 1 gram nugget in an air test, or something like that), then maybe I can help. There's also another thread on this forum, at this link (http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1409653) that may give you a bit of info.
