CONTROL PANEL
MODE AND MINERALIZATION SWITCHES
The mode switch on your Gold
Bug-2 offers three different
operating modes: IRON DISC,
NORMAL and AUDIO BOOST.
Each mode offers its own
advantages and disadvan-
tages in any given situation. It’s
up to you to find the right setting
for each of the ground
conditions you encounter.
Regardless of the MODE or
MINERALIZATION settings, your
Gold Bug-2 always operates in
a motion mode, meaning the
search coil must be in motion
to detect a target.
The two toggle switches on your Gold Bug-2
enable you to search in just about any kind
of ground condition. The trick is learning
which combination of settings is right for each
ground condition.
6. GROUND REJECT: This dual-knob control is used to
electronically tune the search coil to prevailing
ground-mineralization conditions. The small knob on
top only makes one revolution and is used for
coarse adjustments. It has 25 fixed positions. The
large knob on the bottom is for fine-tune
adjustments and is capable of 16 turns and an
infinite number of positions.
7. THRESHOLD: This metal shaft is located on the rear
of the control housing. It’s purposely small and out
of the way to avoid accidental adjustment. The
threshold control adjusts the level of your threshold
tone, which is set to a continuous, faint tone.
