dusty_nolan Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Everybody must really like their GB2 it ain't easy shopping for a used one at all lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 There's a couple on eBay but don't expect to find a bargain anywhere. In spite of all the new gold detectors coming onto the market, the Gold Bug 2 is still one of the best... even after all these years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prices are still pretty high for a used one so they definitely must be worth owning. Im thinking I probably shouldn't have passed up one for $500 last week an it had 2 coils, headphones plus original box looked barely used I have found a few in the low $400 range but they unfortunately wasnt willing to ship.....Yea didn't think they ran that high used....You live an you learn I suppose guess I'll just keep shopping around maybe I can find a steal before all the snow melts here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 $500.00 for a gold bug 2, two coils and headphones is a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack H Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I really like my vlf Tesoro Lobo. I'm pretty sure the mhz are similar to the gold bug. I've seen them used for as little as $400. Might read up on them and compare. Bought mine new and it has a lifetime warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack H Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Here's a lobo for $350. New these used to be $799 10 years ago. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gold-prospecting-Tesoro-LOBO-super-traq-metal-detector-One-Owner-W-Box-Manual/202269821759?hash=item2f18388b3f:g:bYcAAOSw7nZaruP- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it's much higher on the Gold Bug 2 which is why it's unbeatable for small gold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack H Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I looked it up and you are correct. Not sure what I was thinking of, possibly the original gold bug. The GB2 is 71 kHz and the Lobo is 17.5 kHz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesoro Lobo Super TRAQ operates at 17.5 kHz Gold Bug II operates at 71 kHz Very much different in frequency, hince as said why the Gold Bug II is HOT on gold!

Jack H Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Looks like we nearly posted at the same time. I did look it up after the fact. I’ll apologize for giving out bad info and try to stick to getting advice vs giving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes very close, I saw your post right after I posted, BUT by no means don't stop giving advice if you think you can help, if by chance you make a mistake someone will add the correct info, we are all here to help educate, that's why Bill started Nuggetshooter!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack H Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I appreciate the courtesy. Thank you. Can you pm me a link to the rules? Or simply post here or in my introduction? I've read the "read this first" and cant find the rules anywhere. Not sure what I'm missing. I've been on boards for 15 years, so I have a basic understanding of etiquette. I'd like to read this boards rules so I don't get myself canned. I'd like to make some new friends. Thanks again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Bought my GB2 brand new in 1994 and used it heavily for all these 24+ years...I would never sell it, even though I have several MLs and Whites ...A GB2 is unique among detectors ... Anyone that sees any kind of deal on one better jump on it! Just my 2 cents...Cheers, Unc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
