Goldbug gets me silver.

[digsgti]

Found this 1899 Barber Dime using my Goldbug Pro with 5 inch coil. It was about 5 inches down and gave me soft but very repeatable hits. VDI was a deadlock silver dime reading. Ive swung over this dime with larger coils a bunch of times missing it. I'm loving the Goldbug Pro.

Congrats on the find!---The GB & G2 can find the silver.-----Was that Barber found in a trashy area & what were your settings?

I was out hunting yesterday with my GB Pro with several other people and I hunted this dirt area after an Ace 250, after an AT Pro, and after an V3i had been through there.

I was amazed at what I pulled that they all left behind. Bits of jewelry, a gold earring (open), and a pristine condition "must have just been dropped" Christmas tree pin about 2.5 inches high (costume).

Never hesitate to take your GB Pro in area that has already been hunted by other detectors.

My settings were disc mode at 36 with full gain. I checked around the hit before I dug and there was iron tones on two sides of it a little less than a coil width away. Really have to listen for those soft hits. Wish the audio was a little less modulated. I Don't recommend using cheap headphones with this machine. Vdi was low-mid 80's every pass.

I also dug the very tip of a bayonet scabbard (looks like a pistol ball) and some better than button sized brass pieces at a small pounded confederate civil war camp site. They were all around 3 inches with the 11 inch coil and gave solid Id's.

The Gold Bug is a fun machine to use.
