[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 178177, member: 1695"] Another couple of detectors to consider would be the Fisher Gold Bug DP or Teknetics G2 (essentially the same detectors, just different shaft set up). These are very light and easy to swing, much more so than the heavy multi frequency Minelab detectors, and will ground balance to salt to provide surprisingly quiet operation on the wet sand. The ground grab button makes ground balancing an easy process, and you have the option to manually adjust it should the need arise. Setting up discrimination to knock out some of the iron or unwanted junk is also very easily done. The Goldbug DP and G2 come with the same 11" coil, and only require one 9 volt battery for many hours of detecting. Both of these detectors are especially good on small gold jewellery. Hope that helps. :) [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1695/1439440074_post-1-0-78163300-1397152973.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
