I've got a Garrett Pro Pointer I hardly ever use anymore. Anyone want to make me an offer? PM me if interested with an offer.

I found it awesome for coin detecting but useless for finding small gold, which is mainly what I'm detecting now-a-days.

What one would you suggest for finding small gold nuggets?

Was going to mention this earlier...

Best one I've seen so far for small gold (1/2 match head size).
Was a Whites TRX. Was very sensitive but also falsed a lot when on max sensitivity.

Probably would have been easier to suck it up and pan it later but..... I also like toys *8^)

I would think the X-Pointer would be ideal for small gold
