Teknetics G2?

[eureka77]

Read about it in the brand specific section but my main joy is gold. Was just wondering if anybody has expierence with this machine nugget shooting? It supposedly has the same programming as the GB2 pro. I have a Teknetics Alpha and honestly wished I saved my $200. Hard to pinpoint with and the tones are all over the place. It doesn't have the continous tone and manual ground balance like my GM 4/B.
But that's just the $200 econo model. I guess it's not fair to judge the G2 to a cheap model just because their both Teknetics, but............ Just looking for nuggetshooting expiernences. Thanks all.

Haven't had the chance to use aG-2 yet maybe some of the dealers on here can point you to others who can help out I think it a newer machine and many of us might not have had the chance for nuggett hunting yet. HH and may all the beeps in the bottom of your hole be golden

I think your expecting to much out of a low end detector.....

[eureka77]

Thank you Mr. Williams. I believe your correct, and alot of gold for you aswell.
Nitro 54 not sure where your at..........you talking about the g2?

[Keppy]

I never used one but it seems that every one that did answer you never used one either......... So you got no good responses............... I noticed that when i ask about a detector on this gold metal detecting fourm i don't get to many answers either ..... Good luck you will need it here......I did get a response from.. stickman ... but he is the only one......On this question could be you should go under the teknetics forum..

[Keppy]

I don't know but it could be gold prospectors do not use the ....Tek G2 or Gold bug Pro....

I would not hesitate to buy the g2 after owning the t2. the t2 is very hot on gold nuggets down to about 6 grains. the g2 will do down to about a grain very well. Even in the mineral rich environment here in northern ca, it works as it should for a detector running in the 750 buck range after taxes/shipping. You will hear hot rocks and such, but learning what they sound like is very easy, and constant. The target ID is a great feature and will help immensely, it is seldom wrong and in dirty ground, can make life easy.

Hey all, I dont have much time but the Gold Bug Pro is a great unit and the bybiggest bang for your dollar right now. Check out my posts on Rob Allisons forum or the Arizona Outback forum. Posts will be titled TRINITYAU. Hope this helps. Good Luck, TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS

Hey Trinity,
I once knew a prospector from Weaverville or Douglas City. His name was Dan King. He dated my sister for a few years back in the late 90's. I never did get the chance to do any prospecting with him though, but my sister told me that she had done some prospecting with him and some of his friends. I wonder if he is still alive and living in that area and if you might know him?

Hey Ed T, the name does not sound familiar. I knew a Don Taylor that was an old time miner that lived in Weaverville. There is a fellow on this forum that lives in Douglas City that may recognize the name. He goes by Patches63 here on the forum, he may reply to you. TRINITYAU/RAYMILLS

Dan was older than me Trinity but he was not an old timer. I would think that he is in his 50's now, seeing that he was not all that much older than I. My sister and him used to live in a small trailer park in Douglas City right next to the Trinity river. I'm sure you probably know of it.

I was walking down to the river once while I was visiting my sister and Dan when I ran across what seemed to be a sluice built into the bottom of the river right next to the trailer park. And believe it or not there was a honking nugget in the darn thing. If I were anyone other than myself I would have taken the darn thing. I just kept on walking along thinking to myself "should I or shouldn't I ?". I left it there for whoever had taken the time to carve the grooves into the bedrock, probably some old timer from the trailer park.

Thanks for the response Trinity and take care.

Well you hit the nail on the head with the G2 being the same as the Gold Bug Pro. The one difference is that the G2 comes standard with the larger coil. The GB Pro comes standard with the 5" and optionally as the DP model with the large coil. The GB Pro is our hottest selling gold detecter by 4 to 1! The machine is extremely easy to set up and is capable of finding the smallest of gold. As mentioned, you will find hot rocks, but you will quickly learn the sound. If you have any questions PM me.

Eureka, Hey buddy... are you aware that Fisher and Tecnetics are the same company? Even the trade magazine adds are exactly alike except for the product name. That would explain the similarity in the insides and outsides. I don't really know the parent company name but check them out... same animal. TTC

[Nuggetville]

The parent company is First Texas Electronics. They also own Bounty Hunter and some night vision optics. They are based in El Paso. Just FYI. They are a great company that stands behind their products really well. Fisher has a 5 year warranty! And they honor it.

Any time, hey TTC I was out in your area over the winter. We stayed in Sonora, CA in between GPAA Gold shows. We got down into LDMA Italian Bar but did not get to too many other spots out there in gold country. Hopefully some more this coming year. Take care and happy hunting!

Good Deal! I am told that an anchient river bed exists about 100 yards downstream and 25 Yards up on the right from "the Bar". I need to get down there with the GB2. The Bar is only an hours drive from here but I don't get down there enough! TTC
