ABOUT YOUR DETECTOR
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 QuickSilver 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 search coil that's lighter,
covers more ground and gets into tighter places than a
circular coil.
• Optional 6.5- and 14-inch elliptical search coils.
• Lightweight design, only 2.9 lbs. with cushioned arm rest
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 quality backed by 7
excellence.
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!
