If you were thinking of ever getting a Gold Bug II, you might want to act on that quickly or you might be too late. Several years ago I read the review of the GBII by Steve Herschbach on his internet site, and he said that the design of the GBII has aspects that are getting harder to source. In his opinion, the GBII might be discontinued at some point, or (in my opinion) it might be redesigned to be software-based and to have fewer analog aspects.
I've noticed a price drop on the GBII at some retailers. You can get the updated version (with the screen) with the 6.5" and the 10" coils and a prospecting bundle for $554. You can get the detector, with one coil and the bundle for $477. Or just the GBII with one coil for $442. Some retailers are still selling it for the regular price of $799 for the detector and one coil.
Get it if you can, every electronic prospector should have one in the arsenal. If you message me I'll tell you where I got mine and where I've seen it for these prices. Just to get it out there, I'm not compensated by any dealer for this. I'm just a guy that likes to have a lot of detectors and I'll always jump at a good price.
