Gold Bug beach finds

[therover]

Here is the results of about 2 total hours of beach hunting with the Gold Bug. Missing are the hundreds of pieces of foil I dug ( a good thing I think when beach hunting) and the DEEP bottle caps. After the first 15 minutes of use, I figured out where I needed to run my discriminating setting, and I did not dig any more small iron or rusty tid bits. I used the 11 inch DD the entire time.

The GB is an awesome beach detector. Gotta make a rain cover for it since I missed a few opportunities to hunt due to it raining out.

Tried to make a video this morning using the 5 inch DD but no luck. High tide and the beach was windy and kind of flooded out with large pools of water and mushy sand.

Thats pretty darn good, How much change? I still need to take mine to the park, or swimming holes around here.

Thanks John I'm already thinking of a water machine conversion.

I was looking at the unit and I don't think you can even take the control box off the shaft and chest mount it since the coil cable is not that long. I would love to be able to take the unit off the shaft and put it in one of those water proof pouches to protect it.

Two screws hold the control panel onto the shaft. That is it.
