Fisher Gold Bug Pro Metal Detector with 5" Search Coil

High-Frequency Precision for Small Gold Detection

The Fisher Gold Bug Pro is built for detectorists who need maximum sensitivity and precision when hunting for small gold. Operating at a high frequency, this detector is designed to locate tiny nuggets and low-conductive targets that are often missed by standard detectors.

Paired with a 5" search coil, this setup provides excellent control and target separation, making it ideal for working in tight areas and mineralized ground where precision matters most.

Undeniable Gold-Finding Ability

Excellent sensitivity and the 5-inch coil is great for tight spots. The high frequency can be a bit noisy in heavily mineralized ground, but the gold-finding ability is undeniable.

Found Actual Gold Dust

The high frequency on this unit is amazing. I found gold dust—actual dust—that was barely visible. The 5-inch coil let me work right against the bedrock where it had settled.

Finds What Others Leave Behind

This is my crevice-working setup. The small coil and high frequency are perfect for the detailed, slow work that gold prospecting often requires. Finds what others leave behind.

Gets Into Places Nothing Else Can

If you're working bedrock or exposed veins, this is the setup you want. The small coil gets into places nothing else can, and the frequency picks up the tiniest pieces.

Surgical Tool for Gold

The 5-inch coil and high frequency make this a surgical tool for gold. I can work right up against boulders and in tight crevices where larger coils can't fit.
