NOTE: if you are working
in shallow water, you may
want to strap the control
housing on your chest in a
heavy plastic bag, and seal
it tightly around the cable.
29
To remove the control housing from the
stem, grasp the top of the control box firmly
and pull it directly toward the armrest while
holding the GoldBug2 handle.
Figure 4.
Your GoldBug2 is lightweight and well balanced; however, if you
are going to be swinging it for more than a few hours, you may want
to “hip-mount” it by removing the control box and strapping it to your
waist. Follow this procedure:
1
.
Disconnect the cable from the
control housing and unwind all
but the last 12-inches or so from
the stem. Secure the lower end
of the cable with a velcro strap at
least 12-inches up from the coil.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT YOU
HAVE ENOUGH SLACK AT THE
SEARCHCOIL
2
.
Slide the control housing off the
handle by holding the hand grip with
one hand and pulling the housing
toward you with the other hand.
3
.
Reconnect the cable to the control
housing.
NOTE: It is especially
important that the cable connector be
installed tightly to prevent false signals
during hip-mount use. Hand tighten only:
Never use tools to tighten the connector
.
4
.
Put your belt through the slots on
the underside of the housing.
5
.
Left handers should wear the
housing on their right hip and right
handers on their left hip.
The GoldBug2 control housing can be
hip-mounted to reduce weight on the stem
and create nearly effortless hunting. Belt
loops are provided on the underside of the
control housing.

HIP-MOUNTING
LET’S PRESERVE OUR TREASURED SPORT!
Laws governing the use of metal detectors are becoming more and
more common. In many countries, the use of metal detectors is
illegal or severely restricted. Do not let this happen in your area.
• Always check Federal, State, County and local laws before
searching.
• Respect private property and do not enter private property
without the owner’s permission.
• Take care to refill all holes and leave no damage.
• Remove and dispose of any and all trash and litter found.
• Appreciate and protect our inheritance of natural resources,
wildlife and private property.
• Act as an ambassador for the hobby; use thoughtfulness,
consideration and courtesy at all times.
• Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures.
• All treasure hunters may be judged by the example you set; always
conduct yourself with courtesy and consideration of others
.
Using headphones (not included) improves battery life, and allows
you to hear subtle changes in the sound more clearly, particularly
if searching in a noisy location. For safety reasons, do not use
headphones near traffic or where other dangers are present. This
device is to be used with interconnecting cables/headphone cables
shorter than three meters.
