Ground Balancing
Cube Monkey in Phoenix, AZ -
In AZ, the soil is heavily mineralized. I found I would have to ground balance between every other swing because the detector was too sensitive. I'm sure it's a great detector for a place like Alaska... ...not so good in AZ.

Great gold detector
joseph t. in utah -I am extremly pleased with my Goldbug 2. This detector picks up gold so small that its hard to find. It will also pick up all other metals also so be ready to do a lot of digging. If its small gold you want to find I have never seen another detector that will work as good as the Goldbug 2.

rocky in alaska -I just got this wonderful lightweight detector, and though I have never actually used it, I am certain it's going to be fun as soon as the temp raises above 15 below and the snow thaws

not what I thought
James in west Texas -
I spent a lot of money for something that has never really worked the way all the hype indicated. Maybe I have a lemon. Maybe I don't know how to use it but I have owned other detectors and I have really studied the manual and other literature. The iron discriminator does not seem to work at all, in fact, it seems to pick up iron better in that mode. I have gone to several areas that should be loaded with gold, but never find anything but trash and hot rocks.

Best on small nuggets
Steve in Oregon -The Gold Bug 2 is the best nugget detector for sub-grain nuggets especially when using the small coil. It is also the easiest to learn to ground balance and the most forgiving when the balance is slightly off. It does struggle a bit in areas littered with "hotrocks" and I don't trust the "IRON ID".

Stephen Eshbaugh in Goldfields -This is the best small nugget detector made-bar none. I've picked up pieces
1/4th the size of a pinhead or smaller using the 6 1/2" coil. If you want the best- this is it.

Fisher Gold Bug 2
Darryl in USA -This is an excellent VHF detector. It is very sensitive to small gold. I have dug "nuggets" that weighed in at 1/10th of a grain. It is easy to use and easy to ground balance. It has not meter so you must learn what the sounds the detector makes are telling you. It has an Iron discriminate switch that I have found to be very accurate. I had a Whites XLT and loved it thus
I purchased a Whites GoldMaster 4B and I hated it because the coil was very eratic and gave many false readings. The Gold Bug 2 has been great and has produced many nuggets - from the very small to the fairly good sized. Overall in my opinion -- it is a great gold detector that is simple, light and easy to use.
