Works great even though I need to put more time in to the activity. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT METAL DETECTOR-EASY TO USE! *by on Reviewed in the United States March 15, 2019* Very happy with the Gold Bug Pro so far! Instructions are a lot easier to get started compared to my Garrett AT Gold. Very lite weight. I was disappointed after spending $800, there was no packaging to protect the detector and parts were lose inside the box. A bit expensive, by time you ship to Canada ! A good quality set of headphones and a Double DD coil supplied would be nice! But a great starter detector! Actually far easier to get started with than my Garret AT Gold. AT GOLD is great as well - both great units- highly recommend both. AT Gold is waterproof. I did upgrade the search coil to a 11" DETECH ULTIMATE coil and this coil works great for deep searching and covering more territory! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Missing Armrest Strap *by on Reviewed in the United States March 20, 2026* Have not used it yet. But it did not come with an armrest strap as is shown in the photos. ## Frequently Bought Together - Fisher Labs Gold Bug Metal Detector, Black (GOLDBUG) – Lightweight, Ergonomic Design with LCD Display, Pinpoint, Ground Balance, and 2 Search Modes for Gold Nugget Prospecting - Fisher Stereo Headphones, Black, Over-Ear Design with Passive Noise Cancellation, Comfortable fit, Sound, and Durable Construction for Lasting Comfort and Superior Audio. - SE Green Prospector's Scoop - 12.5" Heavy-Duty Plastic Tool for Metal Detecting, Gold Panning, Treasure Hunting, and Gardening --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1995219-labs-gold-bug-metal-detector-black-goldbug-lightweight-ergonomic-design](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1995219-labs-gold-bug-metal-detector-black-goldbug-lightweight-ergonomic-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
