Comparing The Fisher Gold Bug 2, Gold Bug and Gold Bug Pro Metal Detectors
The Fisher Gold Bug Series was designed specifically to find gold nuggets and veins in hard to detect areas, especially gold left behind by other hunters. Designed to find the smallest nuggets in highly mineralized soils, these detectors may convince you to go back to your old hunting grounds and see what else you can find.
Based on the classic Gold Bug design, perfected over many years, the Gold Bug 2 operates at 71kHz, the highest operating frequency on the market. This makes it even more sensitive to the smallest of gold nuggets. It's "Iron Discriminate" mode helps you avoid trash by rejecting iron. The Gold Bug comes with either a 6.5" or 10" search coil with the option to purchase both. This model has become the go to detector used by thousands of amateur and professional miners world-wide.
This powerful, gold prospecting metal detector offers a high frequency perfect for finding the smallest nuggets. It comes with a precision LCD display for easy to read and accurate information on ground conditions and targets. Pinpoint mode helps you get closer to your target's exact location.
A step up from the Gold Bug is the Gold Bug Pro. This model offers more precise user control and enhanced audio and visual identification. It comes standard with a 5" search coil with the option of upgrading to 11".
