The Fisher Gold Bug 2 with 10" coil is built for serious gold hunters who need extreme sensitivity in mineral-rich ground. Operating at an ultra-high 71 kHz, the Gold Bug 2 is designed to locate tiny gold nuggets and faint low-conductive targets that lower-frequency detectors can easily miss. The included 10" searchcoil gives you a strong balance of ground coverage, maneuverability, and sensitivity for general prospecting conditions.
The Gold Bug 2 operates at 71 kHz, making it especially sensitive to very small gold nuggets and low-conductive targets. This ultra-high operating frequency is one of the key reasons the Gold Bug 2 remains a trusted choice for serious gold prospectors.
The included 10" searchcoil provides strong ground coverage while keeping the detector sensitive and maneuverable. It is a practical choice for general nugget hunting, open ground, and wider prospecting areas.
Normal, Audio Boost, and Iron Discrimination modes help you adapt to different gold hunting conditions. Audio Boost enhances faint deep signals, while Iron Discrimination helps reduce unwanted ferrous trash.
Dual-knob manual ground balance allows precise adjustment in mineralized soils. This gives experienced users more control when working hot rocks, changing ground, and difficult goldfields.
