Any Info On the New F19

[WyoBuck]

Anyone have any info on the F19 as a prospecting Detector, heard that it was an updated Gold Bug Pro?

Ray Mills reported on the forum previously at http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/topic/276-f-19-continued/ and http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/topic/278-detecting-with-the-f-19/
 
As far as nugget detecting goes it is a Gold Bug Pro, but nice thing is it comes stock with the best coil for the Gold Bug Pro, which you cannot get as stock on a Gold Bug Pro without buying a dual coil package. See http://www.detectorprospector.com/forum/topic/191-fisher-gold-bug-versus-gold-bug-pro-and-teknetics-g2/
 
You do get a meter backlight and better ferrous trash handling capability, which could be very useful around trashy mining sites. Personally, if I were in the market for a Gold Bug Pro myself I would probably get the F19. But other than the trash handling extras it will not actually find gold any better than a basic Gold Bug which can be had for much less.

Good commentary on F19 vs Gold Bug Pro. Link deleted since Findmall update broke all old links

If they came out with a black and gold version for $100 less they would get me.
