Unstoppable Once Dialed In

Excellent gold detector with incredible sensitivity. It does take some patience to ground balance properly in hot ground, but once dialed in, it's unstoppable.

Found Gold Others Missed

Took the Gold Bug 2 to a known nugget patch and it found gold that had been missed by others. The 10.5-inch coil gets the depth, and the waterproofing lets me work the creek edges.

Deadly on Small Gold at Depth

This detector has a reputation for a reason. The high frequency and large coil combo is deadly on small gold at depth. If you're serious about prospecting, you need this.

Gold Magnet

This machine is a gold magnet. Took it to an old claim in Arizona and found three small nuggets on my first outing. The 10.5-inch coil gets excellent depth.

Legendary for a Reason

The Gold Bug 2 is legendary for a reason. The high frequency sensitivity picks up tiny flakes that other detectors simply ignore. If you're prospecting, this is essential.
