Does it have the large coil or standard sized one?

Not that there's anything wrong with the standard coil. I've detected cans down to 4' plus with my standard coil.

Looking for Lucky Lager with the date 2-3-58. Will trade heavy for one...

Wow, I had no idea these things would detect that far down. I hope after digging that far you found something good.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Lucky Lager zips from Salt Lake City.

I think this is a great idea for a raffle prize. The detector looks to be in very good condition!

I would enter a raffle for some PERSONAL INSTRUCTION on how to USE my Gold Bug...lol. I have one but have no idea how to really use it. I wave it around but don't tend to find anything. Case in point: I am standing BETWEEN DaveNH and Puff Daddy(RIP) metal detecting in Maine. BOTH of them find KENT ALE's and I find nothing...... :oops: :smt011 :smt005

I thought there was a reference section on setting up the Gold Bug but I couldn't find it. It was pretty explicit if I remember correctly. Maybe Danny knows if it is and where it is.

I'm not sure this is what Scott needs. Sounds like just bad luck to me. I can sympathize. I have personally never dug a bock can. I was dumping with Jomama and Chappie at Blue/Gray years ago. I was in between these guys in the dump and they each dug numerous bocks.....I never found a single one. I still have never dug a bock. :cry:
I shall leave no cone unturned!!
