nail board test on Fisher goldbug pro

Been reading about the Gold-bug pro and it sounds like a pretty good all round detector. Has any one done the nail board test with it, if so would be interested to see or hear how it does.
 
Dont know what you mean by a nail board test, but the GB series detectors are great performers for what they were designed to do.
 
do a search for monte and nail test....?
 
read montes notes on the nail board test no havnt used it but would be guessing with bug speed it would do well :thumbup: i know in major junk areas my bug finds coins others must have missed which makes me happy, have used xterra tesoro and bug, bug is fastest :chase:
 
I have a copy saved on my computer-good idea.My best machine to date on the test board is compass relic magnum 7 in TR disc mode-no other machin could compare-lack of depth on the old TR mode only about 4" on a dime.
 
I have done a " monte" nailboardtest on my gb se with both the 11" and 5" coils.

Very very impressive for me and i have much better result then some youtubes i have seen.

The clue is in the sens knob, dont forget you have a very very sensitive detector that transmit the same punch into the ground at any sens setting.

Tune it in, be amazed......

Love it.

Same goes for Omega, it has to be tuned sens wise.
 
I was out-of-town from the 21st thru the 3rd and while gone we shot some videos of the 'Nail Board Performance Test' using several makes and models, all with their stock coils. Naturally, it included the G2 which is a favorite of mine (mainly with the 5" DD coil). We have some more video work to do as we were also including the 'Homestead Rock' and a dirt clod and some smaller rocks.

We need to do some more with smaller coils, too, and then they will be posted. The Gold Bug Pro/G2 work pretty well, especially with the smaller coil. All of this was done using an actual-size Nail Board and nails (which we sell as a 'packet'). When finished, I'll have all of the videos posted so folks can see how various makes/models work (or don't work), and you're welcome to e-mail me if you'd like to discuss how the G2 or Gold Bug Pro have been performing. I will, however, be traveling out of town to call on dealers, probably tomorrow (Thursday) morning and will be gone for another 7-10 days.
