Keep the bottom of your search coil parallel to the
ground while sweeping it in a tight semicircle.
MINERALIZATION, you also slightly decrease the
sensitivity of your Gold Bug-2, and the retune speed
increases slightly. This increase in the retune speed
helps your Gold Bug-2 ignore abrupt changes in
ground mineralization and hot rocks, but it also results
in a slight decrease in sensitivity.
8. If, after switching to NORMAL MINERALIZATION, you
continue to hear ground chatter and false signals,
back off on the SENSITIVITY control again. Still having
problems? You must be in an area of extremely high
mineralization. The only way to hunt this area is in the
HIGH MINERALIZATION setting with the MODE switch
in NORMAL. As in the other MINERALIZATION settings,
back off on the SENSITIVITY control and readjust the
GROUND REJECT control as needed.
9. Avoid hunting in the IRON DISC mode unless the area
is so littered with ferrous trash that it’s impossible to
hunt in any other way. The IRON DISC mode will
cause your Gold Bug-2 to ignore ferrous objects and
hot rocks, but it may
also cause you to
miss small gold
nuggets. We
recommend that
you hunt in either the
NORMAL or AUDIO
BOOST modes, and
switch to the IRON
DISC mode to check
a target
that has
already been dug.
Targets often come
out of the ground
covered with dirt,
and it’s impossible
to tell if they’re
