KidGold Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Question???? - I have a Gold Bug-II and I am thinking of selling it in order to purchase a Gold Bug Pro. Have seen some post regarding how the Gold Bug Pro is a much better detector for finding smaller dinks and a deeper depth. Just finished reading Ray Mills book and according to Ray, he feels that the GB-Pro is a much better machine - Any Feed Back Would Be Appreciated. The Gold Bug is my back-up to my ML-5000. Thanks Guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterguppy Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 The Gold bug 2 will get smaller gold. The GB Pro will go deeper. Ray Mills is the master when it comes to a GB pro, but most people can not do what he can with a Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boulder dash Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Gb2 is the best hands down!! Period! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldies1955 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Have to agree with Boulder Dash.Don't sell you GB2. It will find gold smaller than the GBpro.We use both of them.You may have to do some scraping to get to bedrock, but it will sniff out those small pieces.Heres a pic of a macro nugget I found a couple of weeks ago with the GB2, the GB pro would not have heard it.If your using a 5000 and a GB2 its a killer combo. That's what im using also.Are you using the 6" coil on the GB2?Tom H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDdesertman Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Keep that GB2... both are great, but you've already got the GB2, I'd stick with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank c Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 If everyone could watch Bolderdash handle a GB2 they wouldn't be wondering about a GB Pro ,.........OOOHHhhhh NNOOooo Mr. Bill Help MeeeeeeeHe's getting all the nuglets with a GB222222222222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugget108 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I haven't used a Pro but I do use a GB2 and it is AMAZING on fly spec gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidGold Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks everybody for your input, I appreciate all of your feed-back. Looks like I'll be keeping what I have and continue to enjoy my elusive hunt for those micro-dinks. And Tom, regarding your question on what coil size I use. I use both a 6" and 10" coil when out nugget hunting. The area that I detect in will usually dictate what coil size I use for hunting in that particular area. Again - Thank You All For Your Responses & May You Alway Find Gold In You Adventures. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-bone Posted April 17, 2015 Report Share Posted April 17, 2015 Almost went with the GB2 but finally went with a Pro - cheaper and easier to learn on I figure.But always keeping my eye out for good used GB2 but also now considering the Nokta FORS gold as an alternative "next" machine.TBD....
