The Story
Fisher Gold Bug Pro Metal Detector with 5" Coil
The Fisher Gold Bug Pro with 5" DD coil is engineered for serious gold prospectors and advanced users who need sensitivity to small gold nuggets in mineralized soil. With its 19 kHz operating frequency, computerized Ground Grab® ground balancing, digital Target ID, and compact 5" DD searchcoil, the Gold Bug Pro is a rugged and reliable choice for prospecting, relic hunting, jewelry hunting, and difficult ground conditions.
What’s Included
19 kHz Gold Prospecting Performance
The Gold Bug Pro operates at 19 kHz, giving it strong sensitivity to small gold nuggets and low-conductivity targets. It is built for prospectors working mineralized soil, hillsides, black sand beds, and other challenging ground conditions.
5" DD Coil for Precision
The included 5" DD searchcoil is ideal for tight detecting areas, bedrock cracks, brush, rocks, mine dumps, and heavily mineralized soil. Its compact size helps separate close targets and keep the coil controlled in rough ground.
Ground Grab® Ground Balancing
The Gold Bug Pro features real-time computerized Ground Grab® ground balancing along with manual ground balance control. This helps the detector stay stable and responsive in mineralized soil where gold is often found.
Digital Target Information
A 2-digit Target ID display, Fe readout, depth feedback in pinpoint mode, and multi-tone audio help users evaluate targets quickly. All Metal mode maximizes sensitivity, while Discrimination mode helps reduce unwanted targets.
Key Features
19 kHz Frequency
High operating frequency designed for gold nuggets and small low-conductive targets.
5" DD Searchcoil
Compact coil for mineralized soil, tight terrain, bedrock cracks, and target separation.
All Metal Mode
