About Fisher Research Labs Gold Bug
Be at the forefront of gold prospecting with the innovative Gold Bug Metal Detector, uniquely designed with a 5" DD Waterproof Searchcoil and an operating frequency of 19 kHz. This high-performance metal detector stands out for its exceptional sensitivity to small gold nuggets, making it an indispensable tool for both novice and seasoned treasure hunters.
The Gold Bug Metal Detector is not just a gold-seeking device; it doubles as an all-purpose treasure detector with its versatile functionalities. It boasts an advanced ground balancing system, a separate control for signal gain and threshold, and a unique discrimination control system. These features make it an excellent choice for relic hunting as well, especially when equipped with the optional 11" DD searchcoil.
While the Gold Bug is a competent coin-shooting detector, it's important to note that its user interface and features are not specifically designed for this purpose. As a coin-shooter, you may find that the Gold Bug exhibits slightly lower sensitivity to high-conductivity coins, such as a U.S. quarter. This is due to its specialized design that prioritizes sensitivity to small, low conductivity metals like gold nuggets.
The Gold Bug comes standard with a small 5" searchcoil, specifically designed for gold prospecting. Unlike other metal detectors with larger searchcoils, the Gold Bug's small DD searchcoil is designed for precision. It makes pinpointing easier, fits into small spaces where gold is often hidden, and is better suited to penetrate highly mineralized soils where gold is frequently found. It also offers the highest possible sensitivity to tiny gold nuggets.
The Gold Bug Metal Detector also features Continuous Ground Condition Readouts. The Ground Phase value indicates the type of mineralization, while the Fe3O4 graphic indicates the amount of mineralization. This information is crucial in helping you understand the ground conditions and increase your chances of finding gold.
In your quest for gold, trust the Gold Bug Metal Detector to lead the way with its high sensitivity, versatility, and precision.
