Specifically Designed for the Fisher Gold Bug 2
This search coil is officially compatible with:
Fisher Gold Bug 2 Metal Detector
First Texas lists the 14" coil directly within its official Gold Bug 2 parts and accessories catalog.
Because Fisher produces different search coils and connector configurations, this product should be treated specifically as a Gold Bug 2 search coil rather than a universal Fisher coil.
Large 14" Search Area
The main advantage of this coil is its larger search footprint.
A 14-inch coil allows detectorists to efficiently sweep broader areas, making it particularly useful when searching:
For tight spaces or locations containing many closely spaced targets, a smaller compatible Gold Bug 2 coil may be easier to maneuver.
Elliptical Coil Design
The elliptical shape provides substantial ground coverage while maintaining a narrower profile than a similarly sized round coil.
This can make the larger coil more manageable when working around natural obstacles commonly encountered while prospecting.
Its size makes it primarily a coverage-oriented Gold Bug 2 coil.
Built for Gold Prospecting
The Fisher Gold Bug 2 is a specialized high-frequency gold prospecting detector, and this 14" search coil gives users a larger option for covering prospecting ground.
It can be especially useful when the objective is to systematically search larger areas rather than concentrate exclusively on extremely tight or target-dense locations.
Search coil selection should always be based on terrain, ground conditions, target characteristics, and the type of searching being performed.
Performance Expectations
A larger coil provides greater ground coverage and can offer advantages on certain targets under suitable conditions.
However, detection depth is not a fixed specification.
Actual performance depends on factors including:
For this reason, no specific detection-depth claim should be expected in every environment.
Screw-In Connector
First Texas officially specifies a screw-in style connector for this search coil.
The threaded connection provides a secure attachment between the search coil cable and the Fisher Gold Bug 2.
Always align the connector correctly before tightening and never force the connection.
Matching 14" Coil Cover
The correct matching protective cover is the:
Fisher 14" Coil Cover
First Texas specifically confirms COVER14-GB2 as compatible with this 14" Gold Bug 2 search coil.
The cover helps protect the coil from dirt, scratches, impacts, and routine ground contact.
Coil cover is sold separately unless specifically included with the offer.
