Hello All, It's fantastic to find your forum to get together and share ideas and information about this fantastic hobby. I been out of it for years and now am getting a chance to get back into it. I had run across a guy that has a Fisher Gold Bug for sale. I had never heard of them but I looked at his detector. It's in pretty decent shape, it's missing a knobs and arm strap but fires right up and does seem to discriminate the different coins. It only has a 5" coil. My questions are, are they a decent detector? Where might I find a replacement knob and arm strap? Also, in regards to the disc, what would be a decent disc to look for to gain more coverage area looking more for coins and such. If you seen a detector such as this on the market, what would you give as a price for this unit? Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. Arlin

Thank you again PimentoUK, that made it clear of what I need. You were correct, I did in fact have some Eneloop Batteries at home that I totally forgot I had. Thats alright, I ordered some extra just in case. You have been a fantastic help and I really appreciate it. Hopefully. someday I'll be able to help you or pass if forward. Take care and may God Bless you PimentoUK.

Thank you so much PimentoUK, that gives me some info that I needed. I am not that skilled with this, going to some learning for me. PimentoUK , taking your advice, I looked up the EBL Batteries and wanted to check with you to make sure it's exactly what I need. The 9v EBL's are 650 mAh while the Pallus 9v are 850 mAh. Which ones would you use? Also, The EBL AA batteries are 3300 mWh, would that be a good match for the EBL 9v for the side that takes 8 AA's. I really appreciate your help. Take care and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello All, I am new to your forum and could use your help. I have a Teknetics Mark 1, which I purchased back in the 80's, and I just pulled it out of storage looking to get back into the swing of treasure hunting. My battery clips are in kinda rough shape and I have seen a post on your forum about doing a mod to change the 8 aa's to a 9v and 2 aa's , and then on the 6 aa's side, they had stated that they put 2 9v batteries on that side. Would 1 9v work on that side or does it require 2? Any help that you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Also, any other mods that you can think of, would you share those as well. Thank you guys, I hope to hear from you soon. Take Care. Arlin
