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 5 Year Warranty - On All
Fisher Hobby Detectors and the commitment to quality that goes into
every Fisher detector.
