A lot of people tell us that they have trouble trying to figure out how to setup and operate the Gold Bug 2 so these are my best settings for using one in the field to find that very tiny Gold. They can also be used in the Hard Rock mines to find that beautiful specimen Gold too. And for more vids on metal detecting watch this vid kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3u1g4mIpZqKedE. Let us know what settings you like to use on the GB2 and smash that like button...SMASH it HARD.

Pro tip: Bring a small Shop-Vac (with narrow tip attachment) and a UPS. Vacuum the dirt in the cracks, you'll get all the small dirt/gold to pan out, later, and reveal the nugggets at the same time. Lots of small gold in them cracks!

I run my GB2 in silver mine waste piles. The 6in. coil gets in tight places and at 3lbs I can swing it all day. I ground balance on low volume and run with the iron discrimination on , normal soil , sensitivity on max and no headphones...gotta listen for bears , no joke ! My favourite noise is WEE-WEE sweet even tone on front and back-swing. WEE-WOO not good. PEEP!-PEEP! Blasting Cap , really not good !! Coil-cover and a hard-case are a must. Thanks Jeff

Almost bought one of these, but ended up going with the Makro Gold Cruzer. Ain't found no gold yet, but it is definitely a sensitive machine. Found a mangled up Prince Albert can about one foot down in a prospect dump. The fact that nobody else had dug it up tells me that nobody else has been detecting in that area.

Using a gold bug is like cooking a steak. Low and slow. Sorry. Them other arm swingers think they can fly through a patch. Oh well. I loved the video. It was a gold show in salt lake city I met the folks from fisher. Had my photo taken. With my gold. Gosh fisher isn't even owned by the family now. I'm old. 😂❤

In 2007 I had an extra $800 burning a hole in my pocket for a new VLF gold detector. I had to choose between the GMT or the GBII. I did pick the GMT but I always wanted the GBII. Now 17 years and many detectors later, the price just dropped on the updated version of the GBII so much I couldn't resist and had to get it. I can't wait to get out with it.

Fisher actually had a different Gold bug 2. It was a great machine but much too complicated for the average Joe. So they went back to the original Goldbug with just a couple tweaks. These are great machines You can actually hear the difference in between the different minerals there’s that precision especially if you’re advanced ! My first goldbug was 000327 I got in the early 80s I I own about every gold detector there is the Goldbug is a machine of its own and always will be!

Thank you Jeff I have some similar areas I’m going to hit when I can break away from work. I just got the gold bug 2 with the digital display and there is a wide range of ground balancing to dial in if I press down on the knob it brings me to 75 It seams to be harder to get to where I need to be. I’m going back up in today to test a little bit but it’s not the hot spot I found with all kinds of sign. There is a back fill I can’t tell if it was a tester hole or a played out claim. Lots of quarts and trumpet. And Burros loll. Maybe they can lead me to gold like rich hill

I always loved this video! My all time favorite is the video you made of your dad! I love that one so much❤ I lost my dad when I was 4. I always wondered what it would have been like if he had lived. Would me and him go on gold hunts! Sometimes I pretend your dad is my dad & he is teaching me how to be a Great Prospector! I love your channel Jeff! I so wish wish all my soul i could come out west to places like this & just explore! Until that day I continue to hunt New England untold treasures! If you ever in Southern Vermont definitely get ahold of me! I can bring you to a old gold mine that was a production mine for a short period of time. I could tell you so many stories about the old timers around here. I'm sure you know gold is a byproduct of copper. Check this out! 3 different copper mines in New England produced ' if I remember correctly ,300.000 tons of copper. My question is> where is all that gold?

Gold bug or gold monster? I like the monster better, never used either of them . However seen both used as far as operation I prefer the minelab 1000 gold monster, I can't afford either, I'm going to attempting building one, start with a cheap detector about $40-$50, to use the basic structure, the handle, cuff, tube. Then 3d print coils and covers I'm thinking 4.5" coil, and a 2.5"-3.5" x 10"-12"roughly, and a few other coils to experiment with. A6" pancake coil, and 5-6" cylinder coil, that is about 3-4" thick , and looking to run it between 60khz and 100khz. Possibly running 2-3 frequencies to help with discrimination,use a red led for iron likely targets, and blue for gold possibly targets, I really want to get out and hunt gold. In on 25-45 minutes from the Carolina slate belt, and there was a couple gold mines about 20-45 minutes from here. Depending on exactly where it was, but this was 1790's to 1850's. In ash county NC. The geology report says the ore was exceptional mostly gold with some copper they mined both. And something else, (can't recall,) $30+ to $76 per ton of gold in 1840's/50's dollars, the vein pinched and swelled and I think it got to the point it pinched and wasn't financially possible for a mining company to work not enough vein for them to profit, but at $2000/oz it is possible great for a few guys hit it hard for a few years. Pull out some $hiny $$$ I'd like to find out! As easy as nitro is to make, haha😮😮😮 boom💥

Now if you been watching Jeff and Slim for a while, you wont need to be told that this gold from the bedrock didn't travel too far. and, It came from red material. We are detectives too. Source material gets stuck in the scratches on the Gold much like it does the scratches in that spoon or pan.

I have a Gold Bug 2 in need of repair. My ex left the batterys in it and stored it in a non-climate-controlled unit. After the divorce, I wanted to continue with prospecting and metal detecting. Unfortunately, the connection post on the left side broke out due to the corrosion from the battery. I have called a few places around my area, Upstate SC/NE Georgia, but no luck. I really miss getting to spend time outdoors, metal detecting, gold panning and rockhounding.
