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 nding 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 nding gold nuggets.
The rst 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 benet. 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 nding 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.
