The Gold Bug II’s high operating frequency is one of the highest on the market, and combined with the iron discrimination this almost guarantees you’ll find treasure! Gold prospecting is taken to a new level with this detector’s low-noise output, temperature-compensated components, ultra high sensitivity and Fisher’s state-of-the-art circuitry. Such a combination of advanced gold-seeking technology allows you to hear faint, deep signals even on the hottest rocks!
After 76 years in the metal detector business, Fisher is a brand that has proven they unite treasure hunters with lost coins, relics, and treasures. The Fisher Gold Bug II more than lives up to its predecessor’s reputation as a legendary nugget hunter. It is an accurate and deep seeking gold detector with 71 kHz’s to detect even the tiniest of gold nuggets. The arm rest is comfortably positioned above the controls and adjustable to fit your arm while the grip is made from durable, high-friction foam.
The model we’re featuring comes standard with a 10.5” shielded, waterproof, elliptical searchcoil. Both larger and smaller coils are available in the accessories area for this metal detector, but the 10” is a great place to start. This searchcoil is versatile and deep-seeking, making it effective for any type of detecting. Because it is waterproof you can submerge this coil into water without any adverse affect on the operation of the detector – this is perfect for hunting in the shallow waters of beaches and rivers as well as on land!

The very nice, well balanced Gold Bug II is easy to ground balance. The Hi/Normal/Low mineralization switch makes it a breeze to use in the heavy mineralized, and dry deserts of Southern California. The Audio Boost mode has made finding very small picker size nuggets easy at depths to 6 inches with the use of headphones. It's lightweight, breaks down quick to fit in my backpack, and reassembles in less than a minute. I have owned several other detectors and this is the best by far. The two 9V batteries last me about four days of hard all day long detecting. My Gold Bug II has found me some small Nuggets in the nearby mountain streams as well. I was going to buy a detector that costs almost 5 times as much as this one, but now I'm sure glad I made the decision to try the Gold Bug II first. In the three plus months, I have owned the Gold Bug II, the machine has already paid for itself in the gold I have found. I would recommend this detector to anyone from the beginner to seasoned veteran.
The Gold Bug II is a 5 Star Machine all the Way!
