Teknetics G2+ Metal Detector with 11" Waterproof DD Search Coil

The Teknetics G2+ Metal Detector is a lightweight, high-frequency VLF detector designed for serious coin hunting, relic hunting, jewelry hunting, and searching for small, low-conductivity targets. Operating at 19 kHz, the G2+ provides excellent sensitivity to small targets while offering the ground-balancing and iron-handling controls needed for mineralized soil and challenging detecting sites. This configuration includes an 11" open-frame Bi-Axial DD waterproof search coil, giving you excellent ground coverage, target separation, and performance in mineralized conditions. With 1–99 numeric Target ID, GroundGrab® computerized ground balancing, manual ground balance, FeTone® adjustable iron audio, V-Break® tone discrimination, notch discrimination, and dedicated pinpointing, the G2+ offers substantially more control than a basic turn-on-and-go detector while remaining lightweight at approximately 2.5 pounds.

Who Is the Teknetics G2+ Best For? The G2+ is an excellent choice for detectorists who want more ground control and target information than an entry-level machine while keeping the detector lightweight and responsive. It is particularly well suited for: Relic hunting Coin shooting Jewelry hunting Searching old home sites Iron-heavy detecting locations Mineralized soil Small and low-conductivity targets Experienced hobbyists wanting adjustable ground balance Detectorists who prefer a lightweight high-frequency VLF machine Its 19 kHz operating frequency also makes the G2+ particularly responsive to smaller targets that can be more difficult for lower-frequency general-purpose detectors to detect. 19 kHz High-Frequency VLF Performance The G2+ operates at 19 kHz, giving it strong sensitivity to small and lower-conductivity metal targets. This makes it a useful detector for finding: Small jewelry Thin coins Small relics Low-conductivity targets Small metallic objects in mineralized ground The higher operating frequency is especially useful when target sensitivity and separation are more important than simply searching for large, highly conductive objects. 11" Waterproof DD Search Coil The included 11-inch open-frame Bi-Axial DD search coil provides a useful combination of depth, ground coverage, and target separation. The DD coil configuration is particularly beneficial when working in mineralized soil because it generally maintains more consistent ground performance than a comparable concentric coil. Its larger 11-inch footprint also allows you to cover more ground with each sweep, making it a strong choice for fields, relic sites, parks, and larger detecting areas. The search coil is waterproof, allowing the coil to be used in wet grass and shallow water. The detector's control housing, however, is not waterproof or weatherproof and should always be kept dry. GroundGrab® Computerized Ground Balance Mineralized soil can create unwanted signals and reduce detector stability. The G2+ includes GroundGrab® computerized ground balancing, allowing the detector to quickly compensate for the mineral content of the soil. This makes it easier to move between locations with changing ground conditions without spending excessive time manually adjusting the detector. Manual Ground Balance Experienced users can also manually adjust ground balance. Manual control is particularly useful when: Soil mineralization changes frequently Hunting difficult relic sites Working around highly mineralized ground Fine-tuning detector response is important Having both GroundGrab and manual adjustment lets you choose between fast setup and more precise control. 1–99 Numeric Target ID The G2+ uses a 1–99 numeric Target ID system to help identify targets before digging. The LCD provides a numerical representation of the detected target's conductivity, allowing you to compare signals and build familiarity with common coins, trash, jewelry, and relic targets. Target ID should always be considered together with audio response, target repeatability, depth, ground conditions, and target orientation. FeTone® Adjustable Iron Audio Iron-heavy detecting sites can produce constant low-value target responses. The G2+'s FeTone® adjustable iron audio gives you greater control over the volume of ferrous targets. Instead of completely eliminating iron information, you can reduce its prominence while continuing to hear potentially desirable non-ferrous targets nearby. This can be especially valuable at: Old home sites Relic locations Farm fields Demolition sites Areas containing large numbers of nails Enhanced V-Break® Tone Discrimination The V-Break® tone discrimination system provides additional control over the detector's audio response. By changing where different target responses fall within the audio system, you can customize the G2+ around your preferred targets and hunting conditions. Combined with numeric Target ID and FeTone iron audio, V-Break gives experienced detectorists several ways to evaluate targets before deciding whether to recover them. All Metal and Discrimination Modes The G2+ provides two primary search configurations: All Metal Mode All Metal Mode is designed to provide maximum information from targets beneath the coil and is useful when you do not want potentially valuable targets rejected by discrimination. Discrimination + Notch Mode Discrimination Mode allows unwanted target responses to be reduced or rejected. Notch functionality provides additional flexibility by allowing selected portions of the target range to be accepted or rejected rather than relying only on basic linear discrimination. This makes the G2+ adaptable to everything from relatively clean relic sites to trashier parks and public hunting locations. Pinpoint Mode After identifying a target, use the dedicated Pinpoint function to narrow down its exact location. Pinpointing helps determine the center of the target beneath the search coil, reducing unnecessary digging and making target recovery faster and cleaner. Adjustable Sensitivity The G2+ provides 99 levels of sensitivity adjustment. This gives you significantly finer control than detectors with only a handful of preset sensitivity levels. In stable conditions, higher sensitivity can be used to maximize detection performance. Around electrical interference, difficult soil, or unstable ground conditions, sensitivity can be reduced until detector operation becomes stable. Adjustable Backlight An adjustable LCD backlight makes the display easier to read during: Early-morning hunts Evening detecting Shaded locations Low-light conditions Because the backlight is adjustable rather than simply on or off, it can be configured around current visibility conditions.

Battery is not included. Optional Search Coil A smaller 5" DD search coil is available separately for detectorists who want improved maneuverability and target separation in particularly trashy locations. The smaller coil is also useful when searching for very small targets that may be more difficult to isolate with the standard 11-inch coil. Why Choose the Teknetics G2+? The Teknetics G2+ combines the sensitivity of a 19 kHz VLF detector with the ground-handling and discrimination controls needed for more demanding detecting environments. Its GroundGrab automatic ground balancing and manual override make it adaptable to changing soil conditions, while FeTone iron audio, V-Break tone discrimination, notch discrimination, and 1–99 Target ID give you several ways to evaluate targets before digging. The included 11" waterproof DD coil provides excellent ground coverage and strong performance in mineralized soil, while the detector's approximately 2.5-pound weight keeps it comfortable during long hunts. For relic hunters, coin shooters, jewelry hunters, and detectorists who regularly work difficult or mineralized ground, the Teknetics G2+ offers a strong combination of sensitivity, control, and lightweight performance.
