hear is some more testing with the gold bug standard, it can peg a ring thru 3" of hot black sand and a few hot rocks[video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89bjHPk69fs&feature=channel&list=UL[/video]
 
Hey Gunner.
Time for some hot rock 101 Ehhh!LOL
I hate to say it but the first rock is whats called a cold rock. Before you balanced it gave a nice Boeing id as a cold rock. Also after balancing to the rock your signal was leaving the rock indicating a cold rock. A hot rock will hit just like a nice smooth signal entering the conductive zone and leaving. (like your Iron Ore) Just like a small piece of iron would react. I fully agree with you that the bug is a very capable gold machine.
Fact of the matter is though its a vlf detector and prone to hot rocks The bug has very distinct intelligible signal when running the threshold on the almost silent side. Gets small enough gold for me. I'm not chasing 1/16 diameter bird shot anymore.
The Gold bug I will say is as far as I'm concerned the best micro jewelry machine out there. Earring backs stud earrings and pieces of earrings fall prey to the bug but you have to be hunting those tiny signals to find them. Not that there aren't more sensitive machines but they seem a little overkill in the jewelry hunting realm to me.
I also see that is the bug without manual GB it sounds like it has Vco In Disc Is This the Case? What version software does it have?
Thanks for taking the time to do the vids.

the gold bug in the vidio is the standard gold bug , no manual ground balance, and VCO in all metal only , you know when i was going over the rock foundation i could tell whear it was going it would kinda null in a straight line soon i will have to do a vidio detecting with this machine , If you find a hot rock do a vidio i would like to see that
 
Sure Gunner< I should be back in the foothills by the end of the month and Ill go out to the hot rock hell spot and get some rocks.
The GB I have is a Vco In disc only but has manual Ground balance as well! I was curious as to what the software is on those units. Mine is 2 and my g2 is 1 and it seems it seems to have a higher base disc level. Even set at 40 it sputters on iron where my 2.0 gives a nice solid low tone. All in all I think the saturated audio is hotter on coins!.
It Can hit a 8 inch nickel in my soil at 10%power.
 
I dont know what the sofware on this machine is , but the machine you have is very good if you are hitting that coin that deep with low power,
 
YOU ARE RIGHT THEY ARE COLD ROCKS, I STAND CORRECTED,
