Product Description

Fisher Gold Bug® Pro Metal Detector is a top choice for dedicated treasure hunters and gold prospecting enthusiasts. Designed with advanced technology, the Gold Bug® Pro offers exceptional sensitivity to even the smallest gold nuggets, making it ideal for use in highly mineralized soils. Its compact 5” DD searchcoil ensures precise detection, allowing you to uncover gold in challenging environments like remote hillsides or stream beds.


Equipped with a sophisticated ground balancing system, the Gold Bug® Pro minimizes false signals from mineralized soil, providing clearer detection of valuable targets. With separate controls for signal gain and threshold, you can easily fine-tune the detector to suit various terrains. The unique discrimination system helps filter out unwanted metals, ensuring more time is spent discovering treasures and less time digging up trash.


While the Gold Bug® Pro is optimized for gold prospecting, it also excels in relic hunting and coin shooting. The optional 11” DD searchcoil can be added for deeper ground penetration and broader coverage, making this detector a versatile tool for any adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned prospector or a hobbyist, the Fisher Gold Bug® Pro promises a rewarding experience on every treasure hunt.


Purpose: Gold Prospecting, General Purpose, Coin Shooting, Relic Hunting, Jewelry

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Fisher Gold Bug® Pro handle highly mineralized soils?

Yes, the Gold Bug® Pro features both automatic (Ground Grab®) and manual ground balancing, making it highly effective in mineralized soils.

How does the Gold Bug® Pro differentiate between ferrous and non-ferrous targets?

The Gold Bug® Pro uses two tones: a low tone for ferrous targets (like iron) and a VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) tone for non-ferrous targets, with varying pitch and volume depending on target size and proximity.

Does the Fisher Gold Bug® Pro have an adjustable threshold?

Yes, the Gold Bug® Pro has an adjustable threshold in All Metal Mode, allowing you to control the background noise level for more precise detection.

Can I adjust the Gain independently in All Metal Mode and Discrimination Mode?

Yes, the Gold Bug® Pro allows independent adjustment of Gain in both All Metal Mode and Discrimination Mode, giving you the flexibility to optimize sensitivity in different environments.
How does the Fe3O4 graph on the Gold Bug® Pro display help with prospecting?
The Fe3O4 bar graph displays the concentration of iron mineralization in the soil, which is particularly useful when prospecting for gold, as high iron mineralization often correlates with gold deposits.
What is the overload detection capability of the Fisher Gold Bug® Pro?
The Gold Bug® Pro has reactive overload protection up to 10,000 micro-cgs and resistive overload protection up to 1,200 micro-cgs with the standard searchcoil, ensuring reliable performance even in heavily mineralized soils.

Depth Detection Factors

The detection depth of a metal detector is primarily influenced by the size of the search coil. Typically, a coil will detect coin-sized objects at a depth roughly equivalent to the coil's diameter. For example, a 4" coil is likely to detect coin-sized objects up to 4" deep, whereas an 8" coil may detect similar objects at a depth of up to 8". However, detection depth can be significantly affected by several variables, including electromagnetic interference (EMI), detector sensitivity settings, and soil mineralization. 

Soil conditions play a crucial role in depth detection. Here are three common soil types that can impact performance: 

Highly Mineralized Soil: Rich in iron and other conductive minerals, this type of soil can cause false signals and reduce the detector's depth capability. The detector may struggle to differentiate between the soil and metal objects, leading to decreased accuracy. 

Wet or Saline Soil: Soils with high moisture content or salinity, such as those found near coastal areas, can enhance conductivity, causing the detector to register numerous false signals. This interference may mask deeper targets and limit the effective detection depth. 

Compact Clay Soil: Dense and compacted clay can create a challenging environment for metal detection. Its dense nature can impede electromagnetic signals, reducing the detector's sensitivity to deeper targets. Additionally, the moisture-retaining properties of clay may cause additional signal distortion. 

Understanding these factors and adjusting the detector's settings accordingly can help optimize detection depth and accuracy across various conditions.
