The Garrett Scorpion Gold Stinger was released in 1990 and discontinued in 2015. The Scorpion Gold Stinger is a 15 kHz VLF metal detector aimed primarily at gold prospecting, but that also features coin, jewelry, and relic detecting capability.
"The Scorpion Gold Stinger is the cure for today’s common Gold Fever! Its world renowned 15kHz Groundhog circuitry has the power to penetrate heavily mineralized soils to locate nuggets, placer, float and ore veins. Use it when prospecting to sample ore and check “hot rocks” with ease and dependability. Choose between Non-Motion All-Metal operation, Motion Discriminate for coin searching or true TR Discrimination to accurately identify or grade conductive ore with the flip of a switch. The Scorpion discovers more gold and ignores more junk metal than other detectors in its class." Source: 2008 Garrett catalog
