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 - two stars

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 - best

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 - best

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.
