Soon after I received my Fisher Gold Bug 2, I jumped into my VW Vanagon and headed off to Quartzsite to find some gold. I only found one small spec, but the detector worked fine. I high-tailed it for Summit Diggings on Hwy 395 north of Randsburg, California. I pulled into my favorite drywashing spot and slid the vanagon side slide door open and sat down to put-on my waist mounted gold bug. I then sat the searchcoil head on the ground and plugged in the coil connector.
The Gold Bug went off like a shotgun. I moved the coil around and sure enough there was metal right under my coil head. I dug around and all I found was what looked like a chalk rock. The detector confirmed that it was metal. I put it in my mouth to clean it off. I was shocked, It was a quarter ounce gold nugget. I spent the next two days there and never found another thing. I buried a 1995 penny where the gold nugget was found.
