The Found Dutchman 37 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. Link to post Share on other sites
homefire 2,579 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 Link to post Share on other sites
frank c 968 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. Link to post Share on other sites

The Found Dutchman 37 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. Link to post Share on other sites
