Relic-Hunting and Coin-Shooting
with the Optional 11” DD Searchcoil

While the Gold Bug

®

is a high performance, specialized gold prospecting metal

detector, it is also a good multi-purpose detector.  With the purchase of an 11”

DD  searchcoil,  you  can  bring  more  power  to  your  coin-shooting  and  relic-

hunting searches.

The standard 5” Gold Bug

®

searchcoil is engineered for precision and is best at

finding the smallest gold nuggets that most other gold prospecting detectors

would miss.

If you want a larger sweep area and deeper detection, the 11” DD should be

considered.

Advantages of the 11” DD searchcoil are:

1. Deeper detection

2. Broader sweep (cover more area in less time)

For information about the 11”DD searchcoil

(Part# 11COIL-GB, MSRP=$199.95),

Please call 800-685-5050.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is easy and

requires no tools.

1

Position S-rod upright.

2

rotate  the  LOCKING

COLLAr  fully  in

the

counterclockwise

direction.

3

Insert  your  finger

inside the tube and

make  sure  the  INTerNAL  CAM  LOCK  is  flush  with  the

inside of the tube.

4

Insert the MIDDLe STeM into the S-rOD,

with the SILver BUTTON pointed upward

5

rotate  the  MIDDLe  STeM  until  the  SILver  BUTTON

locates in the hole.

6

Twist the LOCKING COLLAr fully in the clockwise direction

until it locks.

7

repeat this process on the LOWer STeM.

8

Using  the  BOLT and  KNUrLeD  KNOB,  attach  the

SeArCHCOIL to the LOWer STeM.

9

Adjust the LOWer STeM to a length that lets you maintain a

comfortable upright posture, with your arm relaxed at your side,

and the SeArCHCOIL parallel to the ground in front of you.

10

Wind the CABLe securely around the STeMS, leaving slack at

the bottom.

11

Connect CABLe PLUG to housing.

Do not twist the Cable or Plug. Turn Locking ring only. Use

minimal finger pressure to start the threads. Do not cross-

thread. When the Locking ring is fully engaged over the

threaded connector, give it a firm turn to make sure that it is

very tight. When the Locking ring is fully engaged over the

threaded connector, it may not cover all of the threads.

12

Tighten both LOCKING COLLArS.
