Sounds like the best of both worlds between the Gold Bug 2 and Gold Bug Pro... apparently it's got extra depth on bigger nuggets and still finds small stuff. Also a bit more user friendly that GB2 as auto-ground balance option. Only thing that against it seems to be it's a big heavier and also looks like it won't break down quite as small for the backpack. Review: http://www.detectorprospector.com/gold-prospecting-equipment/whites-electronics-gmt-metal-detector.htm Anyone with one keen to share their experiences? Preferably with a machine that wasn't one of those copies that were doing the rounds not too long ago ;)

		My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.
