About this product

  • High Sensitivity for Gold Detection. The Fisher Gold Bug 2 operates at an industry-leading frequency of 71 kHz, making it exceptionally sensitive to detecting small and deep gold nuggets, even in highly mineralized soils. Its ability to locate gold in challenging environments sets it apart as a top-tier choice for professional and amateur prospectors alike.
  • Versatile Coil Combination for Varied Terrains: This model includes a 6-inch elliptical search coil for precision in tight, hard-to-reach areas and a 10-inch elliptical coil for broader ground coverage and increased depth. Both coils are engineered with waterproof designs and feature 100% ESI shielding to reduce interference, ensuring accurate and stable performance across diverse hunting conditions.
  • Advanced Ground Balance and Mineralization Adjustments: Equipped with a manual 16-turn ground balance control and a three-position mineralization switch, the Gold Bug 2 allows users to fine-tune performance for optimal results in high, normal, or low mineralization soils. This capability enhances the detector’s effectiveness in extreme environments, including areas with black sand and hot rocks.
  • Enhanced Target Identification and Signal Clarity: The integrated iron discrimination mode helps users filter out ferrous trash, such as nails and hot rocks, while focusing on non-ferrous targets like gold. Additionally, the audio boost mode amplifies faint signals from deep or small targets without increasing the volume of larger, shallow items, ensuring precise and efficient detecting.
  • Lightweight and Ergonomic Design for Prolonged Use: Weighing only 2.9 lbs., the Gold Bug 2 is designed for comfort and ease of use during long detecting sessions. The hip-mountable control housing reduces arm fatigue, while the cushioned armrest and foam grip handle provide additional support. Its double-locking fiberglass-reinforced lower stem ensures durability and stability in rugged conditions.
