Jesse Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I have a opportunity to pick up a Lobo supertraq for about 270.00. But I found a barely used Gold Bug Pro version 4 that I can get for 475.00. I will be mainly nugget shooting so which one would you buy.

Much better machine - Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 The Lobo is in a pawnshop and it looks to be in good shape. The warranty won't apply to me since I am not the original owner correct? Well I think I will get the lobo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hey is there anything that I should look out for when I test this detector. Like any problem issues should I bring some test gold. After I get this I will have to pick your guys brains on the best settings. A couple years back I had a MXT and never found gold but I did find birdshot so I think if gold was there I would have heard it. Is the Supertraq better than the MXT when nugget shooting.

Set the sensitivity to 7-8; Make sure the mode switch is in all metal; adjust the threshold to about the 12-1o'clock position, or until you hear a steady mosquito hum. Do some air tests (running a dime 6" from the coil, 10" from the coil, etc). Even if you had to send it to Tesoro for a tune up it is a good deal. - Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
