Gold Bug 2 - Test run on some flakes

Video testing out the GB2 on some test gold. I'm liking the results and the Gold Bug 2! It ended up picking up small gold 3" deep with no headphones. The guys on the forums were right ;)

Nice detector, You can here the bigger nugget for sure, did you do an air test?... Those things are hard to operate...How big was the small nugget? Will it gb in full sens.? cool,

I tested it the other day inside by holding the flake in my hand. That doesn't work and was disappointed that it wouldn't pick it up from 1 1/2 inches. I did this test and it picks up even the small one a 3 inches. It's about as big as a match head but thin.

my god,,i can see the force field the detector is putting out

[aperfectcuremt]

just needed to turn the sensitivity up i run it until it starts making chatter and then turn it down slowly, i think your threshhold is still to loud...I never find flake without hedphones

Good headphones will deffinately make a difference.Also,did you ground balance before your tests?

Nice info! I've never owned a GB. Just by the sounds it makes on the high sens it sounds like a pain to use. Hope you find some nice nuggets. So far I've owned a minelab gold striker which is a older detector but a good one for back then. Now I own a Tesoro Lobo Supertraq. My opinion is, the best detector for a 1000.00 and under. I had a friend that had a GB and he found lots of small gold, very good machine. But with the KHZ up around 70 KHZ you lose the deeper bigger nuggets. We did a test.

been wanting a gold bug 2 for so long and now that gold is way up, i think im going to go thru with buying one. too bad there more than twice the price they were when i was looking.

yea sry i cant stand mine when its unstable either.. just a question isnt their a switch on the back of the box to turn down the gain? thats awsome....

[jessgo33]

do you still have the detector? Just wondering hows it go with it? I want to see more info on it to be honest. Any feed back would be cool, crank that sens up to 10...lol you might get 6 inches on those bad boys.. Im at 4.5 inches on my nugget about .5 to .75 of a gram. that detectors got the highest sens out. Whats the hi mineralization and low min. do depth wise? I bet if you had the sens up you would get a responce to the smaller nuggets.... Well let me know if you still go it..
