The MINERALIZATION switch adjusts your Gold Bug-2 for ground
conditions. It does this by decreasing or increasing the sensitivity
(or gain) of your Gold Bug-2. Unlike the SENSITIVITY control, the
MINERALIZATION switch also affects the retune speed, which is
the amount of time it takes for your Gold Bug-2 to automatically
retune itself after the search coil has passed over a target. A
fast retune speed means a quick response to targets.
The following is a brief description of the MODE and
MINERALIZATION settings.
1. NORMAL MODE: This is an all-metals, autotune
search mode used for most nugget-hunting
conditions. The sensitivity is normal and the retune
speed is fast.
2. AUDIO BOOST MODE: In this mode, your Gold Bug-
2 automatically amplifies faint target sounds. At
volume levels above 7, faint target sounds
continue to get louder while loud, shallow target
sounds remain constant.
3. IRON DISC MODE: This mode ignores hot rocks and
small ferrous objects. It also features a very sharp
target response. An independent mode, the IRON
DISC mode is unaffected by the settings of the
MINERALIZATION, GROUND REJECT and THRESHOLD
controls.
4. NORMAL MINERALIZATION: With the MINERALIZATION
toggle switch in the NORMAL position, the sensitivity
of your Gold Bug-2 is optimum for most gold-bearing
soils. The retune speed is fast.
5. LOW MINERALIZATION: This setting is used for ideal
conditions – areas with few hot rocks, little black
sand, low ground mineralization and little trash. The
LOW MINERALIZATION setting provides better
sensitivity and slower retune speed for better
response to smaller, deeper nuggets.
6. HIGH MINERALIZATION: In this position, the sensitivity
of your Gold Bug-2 is reduced to allow operation
in areas of extreme mineralization. The retune speed
is fast.
