The Gold Bug Pro is a little more flexible since it has a Discriminate mode, and also provides some visual display info, but I have worked the G2 and a Diablo µMAX together in some nugget country in NE Oregon and I felt the Tesoro Diablo µMAX was the better detector.lytle78 said:With all due respect - get over it folks.

I have had several and wish I still had one. It's on my radar list [size=small](at a reasonable price)[/size] to fill the spot for a "gold nugget hunting only" detector that is 'simple' with All Metal operation ... only. If I want to use a nugget hunting unit with a Discriminate mode, I would grab my White's MXT All-Pro which easily out-performs the G2 [size=small](the ones I had)[/size] or Gold Bug Pro [size=small](the ones I borrowed and are the same as the G2)[/size] for gold nugget hunting.lytle78 said:I had two μmax Diablos.

Dave J., like all of us, learns along the way, but sometimes in detector development, things get in the way. The Gold Bug Pro/G2 were a struggle from all that we have read with the little 'version' changes to get it to final production and then they stepped away from it with other things and stated they were done with it, as it was. I am sure it was a bit of a headache due to incorporating the Discriminate circuitry.lytle78 said:Dave J.
