schoolofhardNox Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Not that I have a chance to nugget hunt here in New England, but the GPX 5000 has been my favorite for many years now, because it seems timeless to me. I'm sure there are better machines out there (and in the future for sure) but it will always remain in my lineup, even if it takes second place sometimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunk Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 5 hours ago, Gerry in Idaho said: For me, it's the Fisher Gold Bug-2 as it was the 1st gold detector we (detector & I) became 1. It was the machine that kept gold coming in and eventually lead me to the Pulse Induction powers/depths beyond. It's not my favorite to swing today (not even top 3), but I have to give credit when due and the GB-2 is the gold detector I am most thankful for. Ditto for me, Gerry! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldseeker5000 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 For me, it used to be the X-terra 705. That detector continually impresses me. And at times it has frustrated me. But now it is the Gpx5000.It offers me so many settings and ways to mix and match how I want to set it up to hunt a particular area that it easily wins. My Gpx4000 was quiet but never quite like the Gpx5000. A detector that continually amazes me is a detector that I seek to unlock all it's capabilities. For me the 5000 paired with the Evo coils, covers most all of me needs. Versatility is what I need in Montana. The 5000 provides it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterInSa Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 For me it was the ML 4500 had the most success over the years, but still have great memories of the ML3000, ML2100 and the ML GT16000 also great machines in their day, compared to the gold machines memories between/after (Z). Re Coin detectors have had a number of ML units but like OneGuy like the Tesoro Golden Sabre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve D Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 GB2 for me as well. I took it to Ganes Creek back in the day and spent many hours hunting tailing piles in NV. Still love this machine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim McCulloch Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I started with the A2B back in '83. That first chunk of auriferous quartz from an ore dump in Dayton NV began my own Magnificent Quest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Lunn Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 GB2. Reasons: My 1st nugget, most nuggets, analog tuning, few false signals and light weight. Still a viable afternoon machine on shallow ground when I am tired from swinging my GPZ and great for searching under bushes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
