The Found Dutchman Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hi Guys,Have been playing with the Gold Bug 2 a little bit and notice there's some chatter when the threshold is turned down to almost nothing. Is this normal? I always thought it was smooth but can't seem to remember from my days out west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homefire Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 You may need to knock down the Sense a bit. This works for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXLxtAHARYc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank c Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 You will always hear rumblings murmers etc. from a detector when the threashold is turned down low enough to dissapear.You are listening to the "workings" of the electronics that make it what it is.

The Found Dutchman Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 Thanks guys.. Much ado about nothing I guess... My bread and butter were always the tiny ones and don't remember that much chatter with the low threshold. Have to get out and play with it some more.

Nugget Shooter Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Cell phone off or in airplane mode for sure, GPX 4500 and 5000 will both be affected as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedrock Bob Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I often tune in on the Devil's F.M. station, KHELL. That is how deep I am going with my GB2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
