    BH vs G-2 ergonomics? ocd ?

    OK, this is an odd question but here goes. As built the GB and the g-2 are both aligned with the shaft and I realize that makes them both visually appealing both from an ocd point of view as equally usable wether right handed or left. But it does seem that if the screen could be rotated a little...

    masking ????

    Ok, I understand that one target can make out another. Today I had a signal that was 83 but would signal a little iffy at 78. Digging found a zinc cent and a copper memorial cent. Then I had a signal that would just chatter and it turn out to be a screw cap...

    G/B and all metal...

    Ok, I have a question here...When I was in the park I find it real hard to try and hunt in all metal.

    Day three...

    I put on the 5." coil and went exploring new area of the park I am hunting. It was a better day for coin count but still nothing old...I have found a spot I like but NY has the flakiest rule which I am going to ignore since they are ridicules. I found 1 nice parkway that runs the whole length...

    Strange reading on small gold ????

    I stuck the 5" coil onto my GB Pro today and ran the small bottle I have that has some gold in it past the coil...Now this is not a lot of gold..and it is not 1 piece,but many small pieces and 3 small pickers or mini pickers. It read as 12 or 14 on the display. I also did not try to gb since I'm...

    Coil Question ??

    Reading the sticky post on coils I see there are just 2 coils listed....It says 5" and 10". I thought the coil on the GB pro DB was 11"? In any event what size would you need next if they were to make one ? Maybe a very large one ? or a very small one ???

    Just a question...

    Ok, I got a question but it is not a gb/g-2 question per say... Am I correct that Dave J designed the GB/G-2,the Diablo umax, the GMT and the LST ? How about a Dave J detector forum ?

    Ok, reading the book is a bit confusing.. So let me try this and see if I got it right.... Turn the left knob clockwise to 12:00 turning the detector on...... Turn the right nob clockwise till you can get an audible tone.... pump the coil up and down while pushing g/b or gg what ever it says...
