Who doesn't wanna find gold? The new Gold Bug looks like it will be a great nugget hunter...but looking at the specs and the optional 11" DD, (and that it has a discrimination circuit) I'm wondering..."Hmmmm....killer relic machine?"

Look at the profile of that detector, I know who designed that one.
It's gotta be a killer.

It looks Teknitics-ish. Great price for a high kHz gold machine, though.

I'am buying one or a gold bug 2 and the gb2 should drop in price.

Let us know what you think of it when you get it.

Word has it the new Goldbug is now available at Cabela's...however, if history is a teacher I would wait for the dealer market version! (T2)

That's what I thought too. Give it the Omega upper rod Hardware, the 11" DD coil as stock and name it Teknetics Gold One.

I would like to see a 7.8 KHz detector excactly like that as a Teknetics.
Would be the "better" Omega with independent gain and threshold and be more international without the nickel, dime....categories.

Hi Andy,

Welcome and glad to see you here. I read your reviews all over the NET. Some of the best, IMO.

Disc. with an extra 11" coil in that price range should draw some interest. I have always liked Fisher so if some one tries this one let us know. Looks like this could be a bear for old mining towns.
