The Fisher Gold Bug is an advanced metal detector, specifically designed for gold prospecting while offering versatility for general treasure hunting. Engineered with high sensitivity, it is capable of detecting even the smallest gold nuggets in highly mineralized soils. The Gold Bug’s standout feature is its advanced ground balancing system, which automatically adjusts to cancel out mineral interference, ensuring more precise detection of valuable targets.
This detector also provides separate controls for signal gain and threshold, allowing users to fine-tune their detection settings based on the environment. A unique discrimination control system helps eliminate unwanted metals, enabling treasure hunters to focus solely on valuable finds.
Ergonomically designed, the Fisher Gold Bug includes a lightweight 5-inch searchcoil optimized for pinpoint accuracy, especially in tight spaces and mineral-heavy ground. For greater detection depth and wider ground coverage, users can upgrade to the optional 11-inch DD searchcoil, making the device ideal for relic hunting and coin shooting as well. With a comfortable adjustable armrest and optional armrest strap, the Gold Bug is designed for long hours of use in various terrains.
Audio and visual feedback enhance the detecting experience, with a 2-digit target ID system providing accurate identification of buried metals. The V.C.O. (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) audio system offers variable feedback on signal strength, helping users estimate the size and depth of targets.
With its rugged build, lightweight frame, and intuitive controls, the Fisher Gold Bug is a top choice for serious treasure hunters and gold prospectors looking for both precision and versatility.
