azdigger Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 The DR released me from wound care as my sore has healed and he told me walking would be a good thing.....hmmm did not say anything about swinging a detector but I bet it will be OK. Now to build myself back up and maybe get to nugget/meteorite hunt.....yea , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mn90403 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Great news! Even 30 minutes of swinging would be a great weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoser John Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Great news thread all the way through and I too share my units for free to folks-John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdigger Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 After reading all I could find on VLF detectors I have decided to get a Gold Bug 2 .Seems like the most sensitive to small gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LipCa Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 And, you can swing it all day and not be tired..... Good choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick in Havasu Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'd compare it to the GMT first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdigger Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Think soPatrick , I have owned a GMT and have found meteorites with it, no gold yet . Got to work at that. I have read they are close to the same in size of finds.Just got to find a detector in my budget range...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulder dash Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Gmt and gold bug 2 are not even comparable with gold size. No way a gmt would consistently hit stuff this small..you need a special scale from nasa just to find out the weight.

azdigger Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 looks like I will be getting a GB2 at the outing so I will need advice , if anyone has any to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoser John Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Small coil, swing lowest you can go as covers easily replaced, good stereo, dual sound control, head phones. I've never found a pinpointer that would pick up the teeny tiny specs they go off on though. Look at the previous pic and you'll see why as in the hot ground one tough chore. I just scoop it up and throw in a bucket to process at home. I drop a poker chip to mark the spot,then I can easily get 10-12 tagets in a minute or 2 by simply a brisk walk and scoop'm ALL up. Why waste precious time in the field trying to find a dollar speck,just stash and find his big brothers instead-John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azdigger Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 I hope with the GB2 I can break my "cherry" and find my first gold with a detector..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
