The Gold Bug.
You are looking at the wrong Garrett Machine. A better question would be to ask about the Scorpion compared to the Gold Bug. That I can't answer, but I suspect that they would be similar in overall performance.

Well, now that can be a matter of opinion.
The Gold Bug2 will find very tiny nuggets at a shallow depth much better than the CX Plus. However, the CX Plus WILL absolutely find much larger gold nuggets at much greater depth than the Gold Bug 2.
CX Plus has an excellent automatic ground balance or manual whichever you prefer, whereas the Gold Bug 2 has only manual ground balance. The Gold Bug2 is a dedicated gold machine that is not really great for other metal detecting uses. The CX Plus is a general purpose metal detector that can also be used for prospecting.
Now, the Garrett Scorpion Gold Stinger is a dedicated gold machine that is also a great coin/jewelry hunting machine. Yeah, the Gold Bug 2 will find smaller(sub grain) nuggets at shallow depths than the Scorpion. However, the Scorpion will find half gram/match head/ BB sized nuggets deeper than the Gold Bug 2. I guarantee.
Best of luck to ya, whichever machine you choose.
Happy Hunting!
