About Your Gold Bug - Fisher Gold Bug Operating Manual

ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR
The Fisher Gold Bug was conceived, designed, engineered
and manufactured for one purpose: to find gold nuggets. And
it's done just that for thousands of week-end and professional
prospectors. So, if you're after gold, you've got the right detector.
Here's why...
Keep in mind that the Gold Bug will respond to all metals, not
just gold. It has no "discrimination" or "target identification"
circuitry. We've found that any attempt to electronically tune
out unwanted targets is a good way to lose those very tiny
nuggets.
Gold Sensitivity:
Just about any metal detector will sound off over
a large nugget. The problem is, most nuggets are
small. The Gold Bug will respond solidly to nuggets
not much bigger than the head of a pin.
Ground Rejection:
Not only are most nuggets small, they're in highly
mineralized soil. Mineralization so strong that it
overloads the ground reject circuitry of many
detectors and drastically reduces the performance
of others. The Gold Bug will penetrate all but the
worst of these soils.
Operating Modes:
Three completely different all-metal modes: VLF
Slow Motion, VLF Auto-Tune and VLF No-Motion.
All with manual ground adjust and variable
sensitivity for optimum operation in any situation.
Elliptical Search Coils:
The standard 10-inch elliptical coil covers more
ground with each sweep than a normal 8-inch coil.
The optional 14-inch elliptical coil covers even more
ground and goes a little deeper. And the 5-inch
elliptical coil is perfect for extremely "hot" ground
and tight spots.
