If it is raw gold nuggets, pickers, and flakes you're looking for, the Goldbug II is my choice.

Ya that's what I thought that kinda sticks because I liked the at gold but the Fisher ant water proof but o well that's probably what I'm going with there's a lot of good utube videos of the gold bug 2

Yep. That is the famous "Wilcox Nugget." I was introduced to Mr. Wilcox by "Clay Diggins," out at Stanton.

Peter where will you be hunting? Are you looking for raw gold or jewelry at the beach?
