5" Beast!

[ivconic]

The young "lady" on the table next to the detector, in the house we call her "Buba" (Lady Bug is rough translation)... what a coincidence!
Lady Bug next to Gold Bug!
She came so quickly and sat down on the table next to the detector, that I didn't have time to react, I was already taking a picture!

Although I already have too many detectors in the house, I also got this perfect Chinese clone Fisher Gold Bug Pro.
Intentionally with a 5" coil, targeted.
Just for kidding of course... instead ot that; this 5" "joke" wiped the tiniest smile off my face when I tried it!
This is far from a joke.
This is a hidden beast that in some segments far surpasses the XP Deus 1 with the white elliptical coil!

I haven't been on the field since November last year.
Today I took this little detector to a real test in a very rough terrain.
The detector held up... but I didn't!
It's so hellishly hot that I literally ran off the field after half an hour, it was unbearable!
I worked in AM mode, adjusted Gain and Threshold, Ground Grab...and what can I say?
When you expect a little from the detector and you get too much!
That's about the conclusion!
It is ideal for such harsh terrains.
But only to wait for deep autumn when the hellish heat has passed.
...
Although this is a Chinese clone (very successful)... this is another "momentum" memory of Dave Johnson!
He was a genius, a true genius!

Great! The coil looks like the original Gold Bug one—or is that made in China too?

[ivconic]

Yes.

Hard times!
3 hours of walking and barely one worn copper Austro-Hungarian.
