Well what do you know, I guess the powers that be took notice ! I'm gobsmacked !

Site Admins and others, thank you, and I speak for all those that have a GB / G2, as well as future owners, a big THANK YOU

Now that we have this in place, I would like to remind everyone not to abuse this forum, we have been lucky to obtain this section to post here with our finds and ask questions etc.

Again, Admin and others, thanks.

I am in the market to purchase the Goldbug 2 and was of the impression that it is not a good coin detector. Is this correct?

The GB2 was designed with one application in mind: to find small natural gold nuggets in areas already hammered by less sensitive machines. It will detect coins, but is not in the same league as machines designed for finding coins.

The new GB/G2 were designed first and foremost as gold machines (like the original Gold Bug which revolutionized what it meant to be a gold machine back in the 1980's and also ran at 19 kHz), but they also incorporated the discrimination technology of the Fisher F5 and Tek Omega, plus some technology of their own, for general purpose use. The concept of a multipurpose gold/relic/coin machine is not exactly new, having been pioneered by the Tesoro Lobo, White's MXT, Troy X5, Tek T2, and Fisher F75 & F70 & F5, of all of which I was the chief designer. The GB/G2's fortes are low conductivity targets and nonferrous targets mixed with iron trash, all user friendly at a midrange price.

If you're looking for max depth on old silver coins in a non-trashy area, the GB2 isn't in the running, and the GB/G2 are good. For the max we have the CZ3D, F70, F75, and Tek T2. Especially the F and Tek versions with boost mode.

That explains why my F5 10" coil works as well as some F70/F75 coils.

Talking of coils -- the new 15" DD for the F70/F75 - will there be one for the GB/G2 Dave J ?

Thanks for the great summary, in your post above, Dave J. -- it is much appreciated. Like I felt when I bought the two machines, your information seems to confirm that with an F70 and now a new Gold Bug Pro, I have many of my bases covered in terms of different hunting situations.

Thanks for producing such great machines!
