[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 335845, member: 4012"] I think we already know the main points, without even seeing/trying the Gold Monster: [list=*] [*]The Gold Monster will be easier to use, because most functions are automated and there's no annoying 'mosquito in the ear' threshhold buzzing.[/*] [*]The Gold Monster will be less sensitive to smaller targets, because of the Gold Bug-2's higher frequency and use of concentric coils.[/*] [*]Weight/balance/ergonomics remain to be seen, although a belt-mounted Gold Bug-2 will certainly have an advantage.[/*] [*]Ground/mineralisation handling is the big unknown, in my view.[/*] [/list] The Gold Bug-2 is a highly specialised machine that in the right hands has proven its abilities over a very long time, but it isn't really a detector that suits a novice: the array of knobs and switches sees to that! The Gold Monster, on the other hand, is designed for novices and so should prove a big hit, given its price and widespread availability through Minelab's dealer network, not to mention the extraordinarily complete array of accessories that come as standard.
