Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another. Why do I keep doing this. I talk myself into thinking there is something better in iron, and it is just not so. I think my partial hearing loss aggravated me because it doesn't sound off on silver like a Minelab, but it just can't be beat in iron. I'm just going to have to crank the volume way up, and find those goodies. I'm not a screen watcher, I like tones, but maybe I could try and watch the VID more. Take it from me, DON'T SELL YOUR G2's.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1641924#msg-1641924Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:03:04 -0500 Phorum 5.2.18 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1643245#msg-1643245 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1643245#msg-1643245
Hey Ray, I guarantee this one will stay for a while.

I had a T2 and then tried the G2. I found the G2 to fit my style of relic hunting better than the T2. It's good that you now have a G2 and I'm pretty sure you may keep this one a little longer than your first one!

They are designed a little differently.

Besides that, if you put the G2 and and the Gold Bug DP side by side, you would hardly know which was which except for the logo.]]> Smudge Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumMon, 20 Feb 2012 09:22:51 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642551#msg-1642551 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642551#msg-1642551 silverman Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumMon, 20 Feb 2012 05:37:13 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642493#msg-1642493 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642493#msg-1642493
I believe the only difference between my Gold bug Pro and the G2 is wand and Control Box setup, the software is the same?... :detecting:Keep swinging... js]]> parrott Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 23:22:21 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642270#msg-1642270 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642270#msg-1642270Thanks.]]> silverman Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 17:45:03 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642258#msg-1642258 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642258#msg-1642258 Ken in Georgia Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 17:34:27 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642210#msg-1642210 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642210#msg-1642210 silverman Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 16:10:33 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642206#msg-1642206 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642206#msg-1642206
I completely understand what you are saying about being "self-conscious" and "embarrassed" about wearing them. I clearly went through that phase myself. However, the hearing aids made a world of difference for me in hearing. Now I can freely talk about it, wear them at work, home, around friends etc People around me are more supportive and understanding then I would of ever dreamed. I have never been "made fun of" and have never heard one negative comment about me wearing them from anyone. People actually have more of an understanding once they see them. I hope you reconsider. You will be happy that you did. Best of luck to you and happy hunting - Jim

Thanks for the great ideas Hobbyist!

Earthlypotluck, it is a struggle at times. They just know I have hearing loss, and speak loudly enough to accommodate me. It doesn't hamper my teaching at all, I just work through it. I have been tested, and quite honestly I am embarrassed about potentially wearing hearing aids. I know it's ridiculous, but I would be self conscious about it. I know one of these days I will be at the point where I have no choice.

Now, if they could only make a GS2.... two frequencies (switchable) either to hunt like in 2 or 5 khz or 19khz would be a nice little all-around machine.

I have to be honest, at 6 inches and greater, I would have trouble hearing a dime. this was with the 5" I always had on in heavy trash. Others say they could hear a whisper at 8" with theirs, but i cant hear that well. Maybe it was just me and my poor ears, because I have some friends with hearing loss on this forum that find a ton on silver with the G2. It is an amazing machine, and I don't want to discourage you from getting one, but that was one problem I had due to my hearing loss. I'm just going to crank my Black Widows way up, and push on. I suggest looking into Black a widows as well. Nothing has helped me hear as well as they have. Best to you. I hope you give the G2 a shot.

1) Try rigging an LED to the audio output. Instructions at http://www.easytreasure.co.uk/hoh.htm
2) Purchase a Vibra-phone 280. It'll vibrate when a target's hit.
3) A bone-conduction headphone (eg Aftershokz, Audiobone) may help those with damaged ear drums.]]> Hobbyist Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 10:10:08 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642002#msg-1642002 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1642002#msg-1642002 silverman Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 09:14:48 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1641978#msg-1641978 Re: Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1641978#msg-1641978 earthlypotluck Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 08:44:53 -0600 http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1641924#msg-1641924 Sold my G2, and regretted it I much I had to buy another.http://www.findmall.com/read.php?80,1641924,1641924#msg-1641924 silverman Fisher Gold Bug/Teknetics G2 ForumSun, 19 Feb 2012 07:38:43 -0600
