Gold Bug Pro Audio Question

[gsitexas]

I am trying to confirm the similarities between the Gold Bug Pro and G2 audio.

It is my understanding the Teknetics G2 audio provides a modulated and sharp audio response for targets down to approximately 6" in depth and a VCO audio response on deeper items.

Does the Gold Bug Pro have this exact same audio characteristic or does it have VCO tone for all targets regardless of depth?

Thank you,

Keith

The Gold Bug Pro has VCO tone no matter what depth.......

Its my understanding that GB Pro and G2 are the exactly same works buy in different name and looks etc only.

I am trying to confirm the similarities between the Gold Bug Pro and G2 audio.

The Fisher Gold Bug Pro and Teknetics G2 use the same circuitry. The only differences are the rod design and push button design.

It is my understanding the Teknetics G2 audio provides a modulated and sharp audio response for targets down to approximately 6" in depth and a VCO audio response on deeper items.

Does the Gold Bug Pro have this exact same audio characteristic or does it have VCO tone for all targets regardless of depth?

Since the Gold Bug Pro and G2 use the same electronic platform, they work the same. Part of the difference in audio response is going to be with the operator's ability to distinguish pitch change (VCO) on mid-depth or deeper targets. Both will produce a nice modulated audio that is more distinguishable as coil-to-target distance increases, but I know some users who can mainly hear (or be attentive to) the VCO changes on the shallower, close-proximity targets.

There is a more noticeable or "sharp" response in the VCO on shallower targets, especially to about 4"
