The Fisher Gold Bug 2 with 6" coil is built for serious gold prospectors who need extreme sensitivity to tiny gold nuggets in mineralized ground. Operating at an ultra-high 71 kHz frequency, the Gold Bug 2 is designed to find small gold that lower-frequency detectors can easily miss. This compact-coil version is especially useful for tight bedrock cracks, brushy terrain, mine dumps, exposed quartz, and precise “scrape and detect” prospecting.
The Gold Bug 2’s 71 kHz operating frequency is designed for small gold nugget sensitivity. This makes it a favorite for prospectors working mineralized soils, dry washes, exposed bedrock, tailing piles, mine dumps, and areas where tiny gold is the goal.
The 6" elliptical coil gives the Gold Bug 2 excellent control in tight spots. It is ideal for working around rocks, brush, bedrock cracks, small washes, and uneven terrain where a larger coil can be harder to maneuver.
Gold-bearing ground is often mineralized and difficult. The Gold Bug 2 uses manual ground balance with a dual-knob coarse and fine adjustment system so experienced users can tune the detector precisely to changing soil conditions.
Audio Boost enhances faint target signals without simply making surface targets overwhelming. Iron Discrimination helps reject iron trash and certain hot rocks, making the Gold Bug 2 more useful in difficult prospecting areas.
