Now this is something really nice. I really like the zero motion pinpoint feature and wish I had that back again like I had on the older TR machines.

Nice I wonder how this would do with wet salt sand beach mineralization you find here in the Northeast and if the 19Khz will hit on chains, anyone? Bueller?

I was wondering the same thing.....

Now running at 19 kHz it should hit on any type gold. Then it has that 11 inch Double DD coil that you can get for it boy sounds like a winner to me.

Why are they calling it the Gold Bug? There are already two Gold Bugs, the original and the Gold Bug II. This can be confusing, especially since they are still selling the GBII. At the least they could have called it the GBIII. It probably will it will be called The GBIII or the "new" GB.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

No trouble telling it apart from the others by the looks though.....I agreem maybe GoldBug III.

Been watching this baby. Bass Pro has them as well as a lot of other dealers. I would like to see some reviews before I buy.

 

[mgtmadness]

I like the old style better. headphone jack on the side, i do not like that. Looks out of Place.

 

[Keppy]

You will never mistake it for the older gold bugs i like it's looks. .......Head phone jacks there fine it has a jack for 1/4 or 1/8 size head phones or better yet wear cordless move on with the times... ./ www.findmall.com

 

[AUDuke]

no one is going to confuse it with the others because of the appearance, but it sure could be confusing when discusing them.

I can't wait for this Gold Bug 3 to come out i see that in other forums and google a lot are calling it the Gold Bug 3 now..Has any one see a site were there is a manual for the Gold Bug 3 ? I can't seem to find one to read sure would like to get a look at that manual.

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

I have looked and not been able to find anything more then the advertising shown here....Be interesting to read a review.....

 

[kando]

I was told that Cablea's had the New Gold Bug 3 in stock i would check one out but i live about 4 hours to the nearest Cablea's.

 

[discovery_bound]

Yes, it is in stock and ready for sale at Cabela's and listed at $499 per their website. I would like to get some more reviews on it also, looks like it could be a real good unit. Cabela's is about 1/2 mile from me, I might have to go check one out.

Howdy Folks!
What I fail to grasp is why the 19.5 khz frequency?
The higher the frequency, the better for hunting gold.
The GB2 runs 70khz.
Another great competitor in Gold machines runs at 50khz.
Another hits at 100khz.

Going down to only 19.5 seems counterintuitive to me.

Any ideas the logic behind that move?

Blessings,

Regarding the 19.5 frequency, I think the discrimination works better at the lower frequency.
Also it makes a better iron relic detector and probably better for silver and copper also. Also
the lower frequency penetrates the ground better. Of course it is not quite as sensitive to
extremely small gold, but for dual purpose it should be a better machine.

Howdy Pard!
Much appreciate your answer, and it makes sense.
Thanks for your response to my question.

Adios!

And my understanding is that at 19 kHz is better at picking up Gold Jewelry than the lower frequency..Plus i don't like hunting for pin head Gold with a detector i like a little bigger chunks...
