An Audio Boost Mode, another new feature of the Gold Bug™-2, makes
it easier to find smaller nuggets at greater depths. Already a successful
and proven feature of the Fisher
®
Gold Bug™ line of land and underwater
detectors, the Audio Boost Mode automatically increases the volume of any
faint signal, such as a small or deep gold nugget. It does this without increasing
the volume of larger, shallower targets.
Here are some other features of the Gold Bug™-2:
• Dust and moisture resistant control box.
• Removable control housing that mounts on your hip and
reduces the weight on your arm.
• Drop-in battery compartments for easy battery replacement.
• An elliptical, 10-inch, shielded searchcoil that’s lighter, covers
more ground and gets into tighter places than a circular coil.
• Optional 6.5- and 14-inch elliptical searchcoils.
• Lightweight design, only 2.9 lbs. with cushioned armrest and
foam-grip handle.
• Built-in detector stand.
• Dual-knob, coarse/fine, manual ground-adjust control.
• Double-locking, fiberglass-reinforced, nylon lower stem.
• Quartz-crystal locked electronics.
• Built-in Fisher

The rest is up to you. 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. And, of
course, you’re going to have to learn your Gold Bug™-2, read this instruction
manual carefully and practice often. Drop us a line if you have any questions,
comments or exciting gold nugget stories. In the meantime . . .
Happy Hunting!
