Like the original Gold Bug, the Gold Bug-2 is designed for finding gold nuggets. It offers extraordinary sensitivity, ultra-high frequency (the highest operating frequency on the market), iron-discrimination, dust and moisture resistance, audio-boost and the ability to operate in extremely mineralized soil with a 3-position mineralization switch. It comes with either a 6 1/2" or a 10 1/2" elliptical search coil for the same great price. Backed by Fisher's Lifetime Warranty*. Find Gold with Fisher's 71-KHz, Deep-Search Nugget Detector Extraordinary sensitivity, ultra-high operating frequency, iron discrimination, dust and moisture resistance, audio boost and the ability to operate in highly mineralized soil.

Fisher engineers worked years to build a detector that would carry on the Gold Bug's well-deserved reputation as the world's premier nugget hunter, and here it is the Gold Bug-2. Like the original Gold Bug, the Gold Bug-2 is designed from the ground up for the sole purpose of finding gold nuggets. Using low-noise, precision-matched, temperature compensated components and state of the art circuitry, the Gold Bug-2 takes prospecting to a new level. 71 KHz the highest operating frequency on the market. The result: Increased sensitivity to smaller and deeper nuggets in highly mineralized soil. Switch on the Gold Bug-2's High Mineralization Mode. and you can hunt gold-bearing areas that were previously off limits. Flip a switch for the Gold Bug's Audio Boost Mode and hear those faint. deep signals. or use the new Iron Discrimination Mode to help avoid hot rocks and ferrous targets. Meanwhile, a dust- and moisture-resistant control housing helps keep your Gold Bug in peak operating condition. The Gold Bug is backed by a Lifetime Warranty - On All Fisher Hobby Detectors and the commitment to quality that goes into every Fisher detector.
