BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Two 9V transistor batteries are located in separate
compartments at the rear of the Gold Bug-2 control housing.
We recommend using name-brand alkaline batteries, which
usually give 25-35 hours of life. Lithium batteries may last twice as
long but cost more than twice as much. Nickel cadmium
rechargeables give out after about 7 hours. Carbon-zinc batteries
may last half as long as alkalines, at best.
1. To replace the batteries, open the battery
compartment by gently pressing down on the
battery door latches. The doors are tethered with
short, nylon string. Do not attempt to completely
remove them.
2. Tilt the housing gently, and the batteries will slide out.
3. Insert the new batteries. Make sure the contact
end goes in first and you match the polarity
markings on the control housing.
4. To close, simply hook the lower edge of the battery
door over the inside of the battery compartment
and gently push it shut.
5. Push the latch up to make sure it has snapped in
place.
COIN SHOOTING, BEACH AND RELIC HUNTING
There’s no reason why you can’t use your Gold Bug-2 for “coin-
shooting” in parks, relic hunting old town sites or hunting on the
beach. True, the Gold Bug-2 was designed for prospecting, but
it’s also suitable for Treasure Hunting. Like most coin-shooting and
relic hunting machines, the Gold Bug-2’s iron discrimination mode
can be used to filter out trash targets in areas where relics and
coins are normally found.
