coin shooting with the G2+

[Oldbob67]

anyone have a setup for the G2+ for parks coin shooting thanks for any help

I’ve done it with the gold bug pro. It doesn’t have notch or iron volume features but has v-break. I have run the v-break up to say 75 or so and dig all non ferrous tones. The g2 doesn’t lose any depth doing this. It really was pretty good with a 13” coil getting those 8” whisper coins. Sadly these machines won’t go much beyond that with any coil using disc mode. The stock coil would be an ok choice it still gets 8” coins and separates good. The solid ID let’s them be an ok coin shooter.

Try this setup.

I have used it and it works very well on US coins. You could lower the upper V break to include the lower conductive IHPs.

I got the G2+ recently and have used an F19 for years. I sometimes use settings very similar to IowaRelic to hunt for clad and old coins in moderate trash. I'll set volume at 10 to silence iron and then push v-break to 69. I like to have the 70's range totally open because a large cent will often ID anywhere in that range (below copper pennies). The v-break low tone is very easily distinguishable from the high conductor tone on these machines so it makes it super easy to pick up coins. I mostly hunt with no v-break, no notch, zero discrimination and volume at 10 to find other lower conductive metals above iron but after a few hours of this and digging much trash, I'll turn the v-break on to get coins fast and reject almost everything else.
