So I went and played Life of Luxury Slot Machines in a local casino and won $2,128 so I plan on buying another machine. I'm undecided between Gold Bug Pro and the G2. Any advice regarding which to buy is greatly appreciated or any suggestions regarding a machine in the $800 - $900 range.

Winner, winner!

Whatcha huntin? I assume you're after gold nuggets, and if so you have a win-win choice. Really, the difference is the searchcoil (they may have pretty similar software/programming).

So base model the Fisher might find smaller nuggets better, and the G2 larger.

I'd go for the Fisher Gold Bug Pro combo with two coils for $749 and you've got both covered.

The G2+ or the F-19! I'm liking the G2+ better than the F-19 as far as the shaft. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1423137647.122662.jpg

I have the Fisher Gold Bug Pro and have to say it is an amazing relic and or coin machine. I had the ETRAC and the Gold Bug and found myself using the Gold Bug so often I sold the ETRAC. It is lighter, quicker and less complicated . Oh , lets not forget , cheaper.That beig said, I really loved the ETRAC, great machine, I just didnt need two great machines. Happy Hunting.
