I just read my copy of W&E Treasures, and I noticed an advertisment for the new Gold Bug(GB3). It has a 0-99 TID, continous ground phase and mineralization readout, running depth and signal strength, all-metal and discriminate modes, 19khz operating freq., threshold and gain adjustments, ground grab and manual GB options, no-motion pin point, 2 tone VCO, Power= 1, 9 volt battery, MSRP= $549.00 (pg.39)
If this thing performs, all the other companys in the low to middle price point in the VLF market are going to have to upgrade their gold machines. The price, and the features of the GB3 seems pretty fantastic. I know that the upgrade to the ground grab feature along with the manual GB is pretty cool just by itself. The difficulty for novices in ground balancing the GB2 has been why they usually go to an auto-tracking type detector. I can't wait to see the first user opinions.
