[QUOTE="Colin_JC, post: 484828, member: 15059"] I just bought 2 Gold Bug Pro's for AU$310 each from Ali Express. Yes I know that they may be copies, since receiving them every photo comparison, document comparison, packaging printing, etc, and feature reflect what I can get off the Fisher Research website in Texas. The units were shipped from Singapore, and other than a 7 day delay in the dispatch, it arrived in 3 days via UPS. I bought it using PayPal for insurance and I was extremely apprehensive from the beginning and when the invoice did not describe the detector as more than a Gold Bug Detector. To be honest any written information, and message information I recorded (insecurity on my part) was making no sense. But I received a Fisher Gold Bug Pro it and I want to try it on Gold. I have done a little beach fossicking on Rock Cove beach in Tuncurry. Found a lot of nails, bear bottle caps, buried aluminium foil, plus one $2 coin. Ranging at about 100mm below the surface. I only did soft sand searching with about 4m2 of wet sand searching. When I was near a rocky outcrop in wet sand I detected a hot rock about 30cm under the wet sand. As far as my expectation went, I was happy with the performance. I used this exercise as a learning exercise rather than a hunt for treasure. Can anyone suggest a good and close location to Western Sydney where myself and my daughter can do a daytrip to further enhance our skills while "maybe" detecting a bit of gold. We will go out a bit further once we are happy with our self education. Colin I joined this site today [/QUOTE]
