Trying to decide. GB2 or GB Pro Options

[Wolfgang Stiller]

Has anyone used both the Gold Bug 2 and Gold Bug Pro here in Colorado?

I am torn between the Gold Bug Pro and Gold Bug 2. This will be used to find gold only and mostly tiny gold not too deep in highly mineralized soil. I am looking to do some prospecting (on this the GB2 seems to win based on what I have read due to it's 70khz freq and not too much iron) but I will also be detecting for gold in some mine tailings and here I have heard that I'll be digging a lot of trash with the GB2 and less with GB pro (but I am not sure about that since some of this could be tied to usage issues).

Is the GB2 way more sensitive to small gold than the GB2 or just something like 10 to 25% more sensitive? Will I be better off with the GB Pro even though it is less sensitive since I will be digging fewer trash targets?

From what I've heard and read they will both do what you are wanting them to. One has auto balance and one is manual balance.
h20prospector (Pat) has a couple of GB2's and does well with them. You will want the small coil for whichever you choose. Glacial deposit, shallow Gold, heavy mineralization, lots of trash targets, tailings.... sounds exactly like my claim. You will get a digging workout with that scenario. If it IS my claim...well.... you'll get a workout running.
If it were me.... I'd go for the GB2 with manual balance. I'd rather be in sole control of that feature, especially with the heavy mineralization you mentioned.
Good luck with whichever you choose and stay safe out there.
