G2 Relic use

[Clad2Hunt]

I am interested in a G2 for coin hunting. The ad in the June edition of Lost Treasure for the G2 states: "The best multi-purpose unit ever made, Excellent for coins, relics, jewelry and gold nuggets". Should the 19 kHz given the relic side away? Sounds IMHO that with a 5"DD coil it would be a coin killer and best used in fairly clear areas (if there is such a thing). With dual processors the recovery time should be ahead of the pack. I can see the gold side of the Gold bug Pro in the ads but the one I have seen for the G2 points me toward it being a good coin machine as well as relic. Really like a lite weight machine with good depth for coins in a need to go deeper case.

Johnson made a statement about the G2 a few days ago, where he said that the detector will be best for relic hunting. For coin shooting, it will be a capable machine, but it is not the ideal detector to use for that purpose. The T2 and the Omega in particular would probably do better as a coin shooter.

Get it! I have GB with 5" and it's great on coins in disc. I got it for Meteorite hunting and nugget shooting here in AZ, but was pleasantly surprised
when I took it to local park and got over seventy coins in 2 days.

The lower freq machines seem to do better on coins and the higher seems to do better on relics.G2 will find coins for sure .The Omega 8000 is a lower freq and it is a coin monster in the parks and playgrounds.The Ace 250 that others brag on is a lower freq,the Tejon that is the high freq making it the relic machine of choice by a lot of relic hunters.Several of the HIGH end machine are multi freq machines like the DFX,V3 and most of the high end Minelabs making them the true all purpose machines.
