JackMan Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Hello everyone, my name is Jack, Long time recreational prospector, detector noob. Trying to decide which detector to purchase for nugget shooting, but would like to use it for coins and relics at times. Steves reviews are great, I've narrowed it down to 3 in my price range which is around $500-550.00. The Gold Bug Pro, The Bounty Hunter Time Ranger Pro, and the Notka Macro Gold Kruzer. At this point I'm leaning towards the Kruzer, does anybody have any advice? Thanks Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Welcome to the forum. All I can say is skip the Gold Bug Pro as the Time Ranger is literally the same detector but with more features for a lower price. Defining feature between it and the Kruzer is the Kruzer is fully waterproof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 For a while the Gold Kruzer was on the chopping block. As an owner of the Multi Kruzer the control box had some design flaws so mine wasn't so waterproof. How does the Orx with eliptical hf coil compare to the Gold Bug Pro? It is in a similar price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
