And of course you're going to have to learn your Gold Bug. You've got the right detector but you'll have to decide where to search and then put in a lot of long, hard hours searching. This is especially true in highly mineralized soil or black sand. True, the Gold Bug was designed for prospecting, but if you're willing to dig up some junk with the good stuff, you'll probably find more and deeper targets than you could with a "trash discriminating" type of metal detector. 1Ĥ ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR There's no reason why you can't use your Gold Bug for "coin shooting" in parks, relic hunting in ghost towns or on the beach. We've found that any attempt to electronically tune out unwanted targets is a good way to lose those very tiny nuggets. It has no "discrimination" or "target identification" circuitry. Keep in mind that the Gold Bug will respond to all metals, not just gold. And the 5-inch elliptical coil is perfect for extremely "hot" ground and tight spots. The optional 14-inch elliptical coil covers even more ground and goes a little deeper. Elliptical Search Coils: The standard 10-inch elliptical coil covers more ground with each sweep than a normal 8-inch coil.

All with manual ground adjust and variable sensitivity for optimum operation in any situation. Operating Modes: Three completely different all-metal modes: VLF Slow Motion, VLF Auto-Tune and VLF No-Motion. The Gold Bug will penetrate all but the worst of these soils.

Mineralization so strong that it overloads the ground reject circuitry of many detectors and drastically reduces the performance of others. Ground Rejection: Not only are most nuggets small, they're in highly mineralized soil. The Gold Bug will respond solidly to nuggets not much bigger than the head of a pin. Gold Sensitivity: Just about any metal detector will sound off over a large nugget. So, if you're after gold, you've got the right detector. And it's done just that for thousands of week-end and professional prospectors. 27ģ ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR The Fisher Gold Bug was conceived, designed, engineered and manufactured for one purpose: to find gold nuggets. 25 Where to Use Your Metal Detector in the U.S. 1 Gold Bug Prospector s Metal Detector Operating Manual FISHER RESEARCH LABORATORYĢ CONTENTS About Your Gold Bug.
