G2 And Gold Bug Pro


Recommended Posts


If you can navigate the crappy (at least on my desktop browser) interface/reader on their website, you'll find on p11 of this link the article by designer Jorge Saad detailing the history of the Gold Bug Pro's development.   Whatever he says there is 'gospel' AFAIC.

What I remember is something about 24-bits, which Minelab bragged about their revolutionary innovation for their Gold Monster 1000 when it was released multiple years after the Gold Bug.  Now, maybe one was talking about the A/D converter and the other the CPU.  In a lot of ways it doesn't matter how many bits (or processors) contained within; it's how the detector actually performs in the wild.  Both of those detectors (GB Pro family and GM1000), although very different, have produced for their buyers.

Click the link. You can see past versions of the board are different. The 2010 version is marked “Rev 3”  in the upper left corner. Your board lacks that moniker, and has no doubt changed more than once in the last decade, which as in Rev 3 even in 2010.

Interesting FT "19 kHz Models" Modification
