I am going to be placing another order with Fisher in a week or so. If anyone wants any Fisher or Teknetics detectors, coils, accessories etc. let me know and I can include them on the order. It is much cheaper than ordering them one at a time. If you are interested in what something will cost contact me and I can give you a quote. To give you an idea I have been selling the new Gold Bugs for $800 delivered. -Robert

Definitely keep in contact with me in the future ... I should hopefully be getting a work bonus around Sept.

I have an additional 11" coil that costs $250. I talked to one of the tech guys at Fisher about the difference between the Gold Bug and the Gold Bug Pro and he said there is a bit of a difference but in his opinion not enough to justify the extra money. So I got a regular one and had a friend in Southland test it against his Gold Bug 2. It seemed to be just as good in most ways if not better so that is how I ended up ordering the Gold Bugs. For reference the delivered cost of a Gold Bug Pro would be $990. Edited by user Wednesday, 18 May 2011 8:17:02 AM(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
