Description

Fisher Gold Bug DP – Deep Penetration Edition (GOLDBUG-DP)

The Fisher Gold Bug DP is the enhanced Deep Penetration edition of the legendary Gold Bug series, engineered to deliver superior depth, improved ground coverage, and high sensitivity to small and mid-size gold targets. Running on the powerful 19 kHz VLF platform, the Gold Bug DP combines deep-seeking performance with enhanced terrain handling—making it ideal for goldfields, deep wash areas, open ground, and high-mineral environments.

Key Features Of The Gold Bug DP

• High-Power 19 kHz VLF Frequency: Specialized for gold prospecting, the 19 kHz frequency boosts sensitivity to small gold pieces while maintaining power for deeper targets. Perfect for locating gold in mineralized soil, desert terrain, hard-packed ground, and dry creek beds.
• Large 11" DD Deep Penetration Search Coil: The DP edition includes a larger 11-inch Double-D search coil, giving significantly improved ground coverage and deeper detection capability. This coil excels in open areas where maximum depth and signal clarity are essential.
• Enhanced Depth Performance: Compared to compact coil versions, the Gold Bug DP’s large 11" coil allows it to punch deeper into the ground, making it highly effective for finding mid-size nuggets and deeper gold targets missed by smaller coils.
• Real-Time Ground Balance & Mineralization Meter: Automatic and manual ground balancing ensure stable performance in highly mineralized soils. The real-time ground phase and mineralization read-out provide instant feedback on changing soil conditions.
• V-Break Tone Discrimination: Fisher’s adjustable V-Break discrimination lets you fine-tune how iron and valuable targets sound. Easily separate trash from gold and enjoy cleaner, more accurate responses.
• Two Search Modes – All Metal & Discrimination
• All Metal Mode: Maximum depth and sensitivity

• Discrimination Mode: Target filtering for cleaner signals. This versatility makes the Gold Bug DP suitable for both raw gold hunting and general metal detecting.

• Lightweight & Balanced for Long Hunts: Despite the larger coil, the Gold Bug DP remains lightweight at around 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg). The ergonomic shaft and armrest system allow comfortable detecting for hours, even in rough terrain.

• Waterproof Search Coil: The included 11" DD coil is fully waterproof, ideal for wet soil, shallow water edges, and creek hunting. (Control box is not waterproof.)

• Pinpoint Mode with Depth Indicator: The pinpoint function provides precise location assistance and depth estimation—especially useful for deeper targets uncovered by the DP edition’s enhanced coil.
