ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR
The Fisher Gold Bug, the predecessor to the Gold Bug-2, was
designed and engineered by Fisher engineers from the ground
up for the sole purpose of finding gold nuggets small gold
nuggets, large gold nuggets, deep gold nuggets and gold
nuggets in highly mineralized soil. Almost overnight, the Gold Bug
became the standard against which all other gold-hunting
detectors were compared.
The next generation Gold Bug, the Gold Bug-2, is not meant to
be a replacement for the original Gold Bug. Your Gold Bug-2
offers many of the successful features of the Gold Bug as well as
some new features, making it a distinctly different detector, but
still designed for the sole purpose of finding gold nuggets.
The first and foremost of these new features is the operating
frequency of the Gold Bug-2 – 71 kHz. This ultra-high operating
frequency is extremely sensitive to small gold nuggets, and it also
offers a side benefit. Because the Gold Bug-2 operates at a
different frequency, it can be operated near an original Gold
Bug without interference.
Also, a new mineralization switch on the Gold Bug-2 can be
set for high, normal and low mineralization ground conditions.
When set for high mineralization, this new circuitry allows
prospectors to hunt in areas previously off-limits due to high
ground mineralization or numerous hot rocks. Although the
original Gold Bug is known for finding small nuggets in highly
mineralized soil, the Gold Bug-2 will set new standards for both
size and depth under many soil conditions.
Iron discrimination is another new feature. In the IRON DISC
mode, you can identify hot rocks and small trash items like iron
nails and other ferrous trash before digging them. Use this mode
in extremely trashy areas to check a target for its iron content.
An audio boost mode, another new feature of the Gold Bug-2,
makes it easier to find smaller nuggets at greater depths. Already
a successful and proven feature of the Fisher QuickSilver line of
land and underwater detectors, the audio boost mode
