They are most backwards outfit you could hope to come across. Much prefer dealing with FEDEX than general mail. Fedex actually want to deliver parcels rather than ship them from department to department while someone posts a friggin letter to you with the essential number that you need to call through. Somehow that is more efficient than someone picking up a phone and taking credit card payment in the initial instance (like Fedex do).

I sold it with no probs to a local buyer, who seemed happy to get it for less than half the local agents price. Just a few weeks later I found a tidy Gold Bug Pro on Trade Me, It represented great buying to me, with the extra coil and a Garret Pro Pointer, no headphones though. Didn't notice any rude comments on the add, and I think I bought it using the buy now option. It came from Blenhiem, and the guy who sold it to me seemed a nice and helpful sort of chap. I'm happy as with the detector, and plan to keep it long term, and hopefully get out with it a bit more.

Go figure :) Anyways........ Hows that GoldBug Pro working out for you Nuggy? Have you prospected with it yet? I had an F2 which I miss dearly (coin shooting) but hopefully I will work my way up to a GB Pro (when the missus isn't watching lol)- Happy hunting

Do you think it would be a good idea if we could add a signature or something at the bottom of our posts that let other members know what type of gear we run? It may just help those who are looking at purchasing new detectors by asking members who use the same gear? Just a thought ............ I currently have an AT Pro - GoldBug (orig) - waiting on a Omega 8000 - just trying to cover as many bases as I can on a budget like I mentioned b4 .................. you have got it covered at the very top, well done Happy Hunting DrunkBro - I enjoy your vids

I strike the same thing when hunting for information on repairing a certain car. You end up with screeds and screed of results from these car forum wankers that list the 10 different cars they have - with all the modifications listed as well - on the bottom of every damn post. Gaaaaaaa.

"Quote Sycotoad" Hi Sycotoad, Not getting out with it at all - just too busy, and every time I get a chance to get out it pisses down. Have been struggling trying to use in disc mode in the backyard, as I would like to be able to find coins etc - not really getting the hang of that yet, Techno-dummy. I think it will be easy to use for me in all metal mode as I had GB2 for a few years, just need to get out and do it. NUGGY

Gaaaaaaa. thanks for that - definitely something I had not considered what do you guys suggest would be the best way for us all to share information on the units we have used, using or the units we are looking to buy? I just think there is fast becoming a good base of swingers here in NZ & the information they hold or are currently learning is invaluable to all enthusiasts
