Now you can hunt with the next generation Gold Bug-the Gold Bug-2. Fisher engineers worked years to build a detector that would carry on the Gold Bug's well-deserved reputation as the world's premier nugget hunter, and here it is the Gold Bug-2. Like the original Gold Bug, the Gold Bug-2 is designed from the ground up for the sole purpose of finding gold nuggets.
Using low-noise, precision-matched, temperature compensated components and state of the art circuitry, the Gold Bug-2 takes prospecting to a new level. 71 KHz the highest operating frequency on the market. The result: Increased sensitivity to smaller and deeper nuggets in highly mineralized soil.
Switch on the Gold Bug-2's High Mineralization Mode. and you can hunt gold-bearing areas that were previously off limits. Flip a switch for the Gold Bug's Audio Boost Mode and hear those faint. deep signals. or use the new Iron Discrimination Mode to help avoid hot rocks and ferrous targets. Meanwhile, a dust- and moisture-resistant control housing helps keep your Gold Bug in peak operating condition.
The Gold Bug is backed by a Lifetime Warranty - On All Fisher Hobby Detectors and the commitment to quality that goes into every Fisher detector.

CONTROLS
THRESHOLD: Small shaft on rear of control housing. Controls threshold tone.
MODE: Three-position toggel switch: 1 . IRON DISC Mode for iron and trash discrimination. 2. Normal Mode for normal, all-metal operation. 3. AUDIO BOOST Mode for hearing faint, deep targets. BATTERY TEST 1 SENSITIVITY: Dual-purpose potentiometer with swich for audio-battery test. Controls sensitivity to targets, electrical interference and ground minerals.
MINERALIZATION: Three-position toggle switch for areas of HIGH, NORMAL and LOW mineralization.
GROUND REJECT: Dual-knob control electronically tunes the search coil to ignore ground minerals. A small, single-turn coarse adjust knob is stacked on a large, 16-turn fine-tuning control.
VOLUME: Turns the power on and controls signal response volume. HEADPHONES: Jack for most mono and stereo headphones with 1/4-inch plug.
