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.
- Versatile Coil Combination for Varied Terrains: This model includes a 6-inch elliptical search coil for precision in tight, hard-to-reach areas and a 10-inch elliptical coil for broader ground coverage and increased depth. Both coils are engineered with waterproof designs and feature 100% ESI shielding to reduce interference, ensuring accurate and stable performance across diverse hunting conditions.
- Advanced Ground Balance and Mineralization Adjustments: Equipped with a manual 16-turn ground balance control and a three-position mineralization switch, the Gold Bug 2 allows users to fine-tune performance for optimal results in high, normal, or low mineralization soils. 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. Its double-locking fiberglass-reinforced lower stem ensures durability and stability in rugged conditions.
- Reliable Performance and Long Battery Life: Powered by two 9-volt batteries, the Gold Bug 2 provides up to 35 hours of operation when using alkaline batteries, ensuring you can hunt longer without interruptions. Its robust construction includes a dust and moisture-resistant control housing, making it suitable for outdoor use in challenging environments.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It will always find gold if it is there to be found.
*by M***O on December 12, 2009*

I made purchase of the GB2 because of what I researched it can do. It has been stated to be able to find gold as small as a pin head. The GB2's ability to locate gold say 0.02 grams is on or 1 inch near the surface. Reported depth is around 4 to 5 inches with a 1.0 gram nugget. I wanted the 6 1/2 inch search coil that is very small because the larger coil looses the ability to see the smaller gold. I needed a detector that has a smaller search coil and the GB2 is it. The GB2 is not a perfect detector as with any other in comparison. If the decision is the GB2 or the GMT or the LOBO a person can not go wrong choosing any of these detectors. I own a GMT and it can give the GB2 a challenge. As for the LOBO as I have read it will detect deeper by what I assume to be around an inch or so but at the risk of finding no small gold. The GMT will go deep and find small gold too. If there is very high mineralization all detectors will struggle unless it has the ability to ground balance it out. There is a limit to the design of the GB2 as with the others. Taking the GB2 to the beach may not be a good idea but it should work there, but not as well as in a low mineralized area. The GB2 is stated as being able to find invisible gold. This type of gold is spongy or that which is running through quartz that some detectors may or can not find. Whatever the case I had to get a GB2. There is a newer version that I will call GB3 but it is not being well recieved. The operating frequency is lower and the coil is round again. It would be nice of Fisher to make available a small round coil for GB2 but at a low price though. The original GB had the small round coil. The detector is light. It is packed with the two 9 volt batteries already there. Assembly is pulling the composite rod down and joining the upper and lower shafts then unpluging the cable and wrapping it up in place. Nice, it is good to go. The control boxes housing is plastic. The batteries are held in place with little plastic doors held on by a thin plastic line. I don't like plastic and will have to be careful here. Here is where the GMT shines. Construction is much better. You can't go wrong with the GMT, but you will still want a GB2. Update: There is a plastic plug for the headphone jack. It's there to help control debris from getting in. The plug keeps falling out and I'll keep pushing it in till it either stays or breaks. As I said, It's not a perfect detector and I don't like plastic.
