Hi everyone,
I am stuck at home recovering from shoulder surgery so I am enjoying reading the posts about the Scorpion. I hope to be back in business by the end of May. I bought a Scorpion last November as a spare to use prospecting when I have friends along. I have a GB 2. I bought the Scorpion because it is the least expensive gold machine and I was tired of sharing my GB2. I also bought the small coil, I've found that the smaller coils work better for small gold and allows me to get into tighter places. I have been impressed with the machine, especially its versatility. While i believe the GB2 is better on smaller nuggets I find the Scorpion does work well and has the advantage of being usable for coins and relics.
