Gold Bug 2 & A Collapsible Rake

[brogansown]

Although we own Minelabs-Equinox, GP's & other detectors, more and more often my brother Jim and I are using the Gold Bug 2.  We've discovered that when we find a patch and after the small nuggets are found, tiny pieces still remain.  At the end stage, we can get even more pieces by raking the area.  Jim made me this collapsible rake, from a tiny collapsible four tine rake and a welded-on eight tine piece.  I can carry it in my backpack and it looks like just the tool for those tiny pieces.

Heck I probably sold a 1000 GB-2's and still have customers wanting them.  That compact rake idea is nice.  How have you been able to do so far this year, I figured the ground is frozen and covered in white stuff.  GB-2 with a small 6" Ellip will go down in history...well deserved too.

Nothing in 2021 yet, Gerry.  Mike has been up, but has gotten snowed out each time and the roads are horrible.  We're careful so the ranchers don't get mad at us for creating more ruts for them and yes the ground is frozen a few inches down.  Jim & I haven't been up for a couple of months, so we're getting stuff ready for when we can.  Hope all is well with you and hope we can detect together this year sometime.
