Fisher Gold Bug 2
A legendary 71 kHz gold specialist, built to find the tiniest nuggets and flakes that lower-frequency detectors miss, with three mineralisation settings and iron discrimination.
Overview
The Fisher Gold Bug 2 has been a specialist gold detector since 1995 and is famous for one thing: finding very small gold. It runs at an ultra-high 71 kHz, a frequency chosen to light up tiny nuggets and flakes that many lower-frequency machines simply cannot hear, which makes it a favourite for cleaning up known gold patches. Experienced prospectors often use it to find small pieces left behind by other detectors.
It uses high-precision dual-control manual ground balance and a three-position mineralisation switch for low, normal and high ground. An iron discrimination mode helps reject iron and hot rocks, and an audio boost mode amplifies faint signals. There is no numeric target ID; the Gold Bug 2 is a sound-based prospecting tool. Learning to read its audio carefully is the key to getting the best results from this machine.
The machine weighs about 2.9 lb, runs on two 9V batteries and has a dust and moisture resistant control housing that can be hip-mounted. It is offered with a waterproof 6.5-inch elliptical DD coil (GB2-6) or a 10-inch coil (GB2-10). In Pakistan it is ideal for patient prospectors working streams, bedrock cracks and known gold areas. It is best suited to users willing to spend time learning manual ground balance techniques.
