giday anyone here interested in a gold bug comes with 2 coils the standard 5" round and the 10" elliptical only been out for a dozen or so walks and found everything other than gold including #4 lead shot at about 20mm deep.

it does detect gold as i test it out with a nugget i have. im wanting rid of it as im going to get back into dredging when i warms up.

id sell the lot for 800 as the 10" coil cost me another 200
