Review: Great detector - Loving my gold bug 2. Was pretty easy to learn how to use, found gold with it on my first day out!
Review: Will pick up everything from the smallest of allum pieces to sub-gram gold, fine gold chain - Outstanding for Gold Country and Dry Riverbeds. Not so much for Beach-Combing, because although it will find small gold and jewelry, it will also find Every other metal on the Beach, right down to the tiniest of Aluminum pieces, cigarette pack foil, barrettes, tent steaks, bottle caps and pull tabs with almost no discrimination. As I said... It finds everything! This is tuned specifically to 71khz for locating sub-gram Gold pickers and also works great for finding concentrated River-Gold deposits. However, because it is so sensitive to the tiniest bits of most metals, you will have to dig every Target on the Beach to be sure. This Item is for serious Gold Prospectors.

## Features

- High Sensitivity for Gold Detection: The Fisher Gold Bug 2 operates at an industry-leading frequency of 71 kHz, making it exceptionally sensitive to detecting small and deep gold nuggets, even in highly mineralized soils. Its ability to locate gold in challenging environments sets it apart as a top-tier choice for professional and amateur prospectors alike.
- Enhanced Detection with a 10-Inch Elliptical Coil: This model features a 10-inch elliptical search coil designed for superior ground coverage and increased depth.

This capability enhances the detector’s effectiveness in extreme environments, including areas with black sand and hot rocks.
- Enhanced Target Identification and Signal Clarity: The integrated iron discrimination mode helps users filter out ferrous trash, such as nails and hot rocks, while focusing on non-ferrous targets like gold. Additionally, the audio boost mode amplifies faint signals from deep or small targets without increasing the volume of larger, shallow items, ensuring precise and efficient detecting.
- Lightweight and Ergonomic Design for Prolonged Use: Weighing only 2.9 lbs., the Gold Bug 2 is designed for comfort and ease of use during long detecting sessions. The hip-mountable control housing reduces arm fatigue, while the cushioned armrest and foam grip handle provide additional support.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great detector

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ If there's gold, this will find it.
*by A***R on March 23, 2018*

Pros: * Finds smaller pieces of gold than anything else on the market. We're talking pinhead size. * Lightweight for all-day swinging. * Can use rechargeable 9V batteries to save money; I've been using them with good results. * Simple, pick up and go, minimal set-up. Sensitivity to 10 (always), Mineralization typically on Normal, Audio Boost On. Easy manual ground balance as needed. * Gold and lead make a distinct sound that you can learn to identify even without using iron discrimination, although that feature works great as well. * Really stable for a VLF machine and once you're used to it you can pick out targets even in horribly mineralized ground. Cons: * Using regular 9V batteries can add up the expense, expect to use 2 every 16 or so hours of use. * After 2 years my iron discrimination switch has stopped working and I will have to send it for repair (5-yr warranty). * Is not pulse induction or a GPZ so realistic depth for nuggets is limited to under 10-12 inches. * If you forget to periodically check the handscrew that holds on the coil it can come loose in the field and fall off. * 9V batteries seem to barely fit into the battery compartments, the thin plastic battery doors have to be forced closed, it's hard to tell if they're latched, and can pop open without warning. Strange and unwieldy design that can make it difficult to remove batteries, but also leaves the possibility of the compartment popping open and depositing your battery onto the ground. This machine I've been using for the past couple years as a beginner and weekend hobbyist, and it's found enough gold to pay for itself and then some. I am upgrading to a Minelab to find bigger, deeper gold but I am definitely keeping this and using it in certain situations. There are niggling annoyances with some design aspects but there is a reason it is known as the best VLF detector out there. Its ease of use is good for beginners and it's good for trashy areas as the iron discrimination works quite well. And all three coil sizes are good for different uses.
