[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 486298, member: 9124"] I have had a gold bug 2 for a few years now. Dont take offence, but you can't compare this unit to a gpx series, or an SDC. Perhaps on price only at the most. Depth on a minelab of these series will out do a bug. Sensitivity, the SDC will match it easily, yet punch deeper on the same size target deeper. The bug runs a very high vlf, and basically becomes a mineral detector. So trying to run it at 100% sensitivity will make it noisy in most ground. Why is an aldi detector so quite.....? Simply becausec at its low khz, it wont pick up mineralization as easy. But the bug allows you to crank up sensitivity to the max most of the VLF's in suitable ground. They have been around for 30 plus years, so that speaks for itself. But they are no comparison to and SDC, thats closer to being a fact than opinion. The bit extra for an SDC will be your best and cheapest investment in the long run. Especially if you decide to sell it in time. The SDC will keep much better resale value than the bug. [/QUOTE]
