The Fisher Gold Bug is engineered for serious prospectors and treasure hunters who want high sensitivity to small gold nuggets and low-conductivity targets. With a 19 kHz VLF operating frequency, 5" DD searchcoil, Ground Grab® computerized ground balancing, All Metal and Discrimination modes, and a lightweight 2.5 lb design, the Gold Bug is built for mineral-rich soil, relic sites, rough terrain, and focused gold hunting.
The Fisher Gold Bug’s 19 kHz operating frequency provides strong sensitivity to small gold nuggets, flakes, and other low-conductivity targets. It is a strong choice for prospectors working mineralized soil, black sand beds, hillsides, and rough detecting conditions.
The included 5" DD searchcoil is optimized for tight areas, accurate pinpointing, and target separation. It works well around rocks, brush, bedrock cracks, mineral-rich soil, and locations where larger coils can be harder to control.
Ground Grab® computerized ground balancing adapts to soil conditions in real time. Manual ground balance is also available for users who want more control in changing or difficult mineralized ground.
All Metal mode maximizes sensitivity for prospecting, while Discrimination mode helps reduce unwanted targets. Adjustable notch discrimination gives users more control over what they hear and dig.
