nvchris Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Herb did it I added the legs. Like all detectors with the control box forward they benefit from this move to under the elbow. Carbon fiber upper and legs make this gold bug feel like a feather with perfect balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klunker Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I don' think they would be in the way because it looks like the detector walks by itself. Battery life could be a concern if it has to walk a long ways between nuggets. I great to see new ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Slim Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I sold my GB2 and bought a GB Pro but I remember constantly ground balancing the GB2 and switching back and forth to disc mode. Isn't that awkward with the control box set up that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) The legs end up behind you. I may shorten them a bit and they do pull off easy enough for storage.GB is done with the off hand. Same with the switches. Altho I think Ill trim the stock legs to allow a bit more finger room.Like any change you get used to it after a while and I know the unit well enough to run it in the dark.You'll get a chance to try is soon Klunker…….it has a DD coil Edited October 27, 2013 by nvchris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Be sure to bring it on you next adventure- I'll have my automatic pick. We'll have to post photos when we're done for the rest of these folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micro Nugget Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I prefer to lay mine flat on its side. No legs needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvchris Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Thats how mine got beat up Martin, well a few unintentional drop n kicks too I need the option of keeping the control box off wet ground.Still need to add the small coil mod that allows you to lay the coil flat.

El Dorado Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Innovations are great, but I sure do like to be able to do everything I need to do on the GB II with one hand. The coil extension tha Advanced Mining Equipment makes 100 % solves the stupid design flaw of the small coil........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulder dash Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 What kind of additional depth should expect from these new mods? Will the new mods find even smaller nuggets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
