Beautiful specimen there gus.
May I ask what detector you were packing when you found that beauty??
Gold Bug Pro With 10" Elliptical DD Coil
in First Texas - Bounty Hunter, Fisher & Teknetics

hello, new to this forum and ready to pull the trigger on a detector purchase.
After doing research on gold models I thought I was ready to go with the at gold. Many great reviews and lots of YouTube tutorials.
Then I did some searching on gold detecting in my area and found posts by trinityau / Ray Mills and his results with the gold bug pro. He has had some great finds and he is in my local. So I can't ignore the fact a seasoned gold prospector is using that model successfully in the same conditions I'll be working in.
I loved the fact the at gold is waterproof, but worry about the cable connections having O rings that could possibly fail. I wonder how often I would actually use it in water, as my plan is to work dry washes and seasonal streams.
With the drought conditions being prominent and fish and game being down on even gold panners kicking up a little mud in any stream. A good gold specific detector seems like the way to go.
So I'm back on the fence, doing more research and open to suggestions on a gold machine in the $1000 range.
