Hello,
A quick side note about Fisher Gold Bug's I and II . I have both and
sometimes I can't tell the difference between the two. I use my old
one -GB1, 80% of the time. In fact, I found over 1 1/2 ounces of gold
nuggets this week.
Better yet, in WEST, Texas I found nearly 200 grams of complete stones
with my Gold Bug 1, found them in the tall grass. Even though West
(Ash Creek), is an L6, the Gold Bug picked them up. I have 6 metal
detectors, and the Gold Bug I and II were the only ones that would
pick up the West meteorite. I would easily recommend an older Fisher
Gold Bug 1, make sure it comes with a manual though and expect to
spend some real time getting use to it.
Best Wishes
Michael Cottingham

Thank you, Erik.
Based on that, I'll try to find myself a Gold Bug II,
but if I come across a good deal on the original model,
that might be fine to get started with.

The second version has a substantially higher frequency so it's
really hot on metal.
John Wolfe's can pick up some gold basin L's and Palo Verde Mine L's
that a GMT can't.
He showed me some very nice specimen gold too.
With my Dad's Gold Bug Origional, I have found bird shot 8 inches
deep, as loud as a wistle.
Either one is good on meteorites but I would sugest paying for the
version two.

Subject: [meteorite-list] - Fisher Gold Bug owners?
Greetings listees.
I know some of you prefer to use the Fisher Gold Bug II metal
detectors.
I've been watching for a "pre-owned model" and what I'm wondering
is...
Is the difference between the Gold Bug II and the original subtle, or
substantial?
Should I bother with the original at a good price, or hold out for
the newer
model?
Either way, this will be my first detector. Any advice would be
highly
appreciated.
Thank you.
Linton
