The Story
Fisher Gold Bug 2 Coil Combo Metal Detector
The Fisher Gold Bug 2 Coil Combo 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. This coil combo includes both the 6" and 10" searchcoils, giving you better flexibility for tight bedrock, brush, exposed crevices, wider open ground, and general prospecting conditions.
What’s Included
Extreme Sensitivity to Small Gold
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.
Two-Coil Combo Flexibility
With both the 6" and 10" searchcoils included, this coil combo gives you more ways to work difficult goldfields. Use the 6" coil for tight spaces and precise target separation, and the 10" coil for broader coverage and general nugget hunting.
Three Operating Modes
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.
Manual Ground Balance
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.
Why Choose the Fisher Gold Bug 2 Coil Combo?
Purpose-Built for Gold
The Gold Bug 2 is engineered specifically for gold prospecting and small nugget detection in mineral-rich environments.
71 kHz Frequency
The ultra-high operating frequency gives the detector excellent sensitivity to tiny gold and faint low-conductive targets.
6" Coil Included
The 6" coil is ideal for tighter terrain, exposed bedrock, crevices, brushy areas, and careful small-nugget recovery.
10" Coil Included
The 10" coil gives better ground coverage while still keeping the detector sensitive and maneuverable.
Audio Boost Mode
Audio Boost helps enhance faint target signals without simply amplifying shallow surface targets.
Iron Discrimination
Iron Disc mode helps identify and filter unwanted ferrous trash while prospecting.
VCO Audio
Variable Frequency Audio Output gives clear audio response changes as target strength and position change.
Long Runtime
Runs on two 9V batteries with a typical battery life of 25 to 35 hours using alkaline batteries.
Lightweight Build
At approximately 2.9 lbs, the Gold Bug 2 is easy to carry and swing during extended prospecting trips.
