The New Gold Bug DP is unique among gold prospecting metal detectors for its combination of high sensitivity to small gold nuggets and its versatile function as an all-purpose treasure detector.

A Deep Penetrating Metal Detector Finds Gold PLUS Relics and Coins! The controls and features are tailored to gold prospecting, including a sophisticated ground balancing system, separate control over signal gain and threshold, and a unique discrimination control system. These features also make for a great relic-hunting detector. While the Gold Bug DP makes for a highly competent Coin-shooting detector, its user interface and features are not specifically designed for this purpose. As a coin-shooter, you will notice that the Gold Bug DP exhibits slightly lower sensitivity to high conductivity coins, like a U.S. quarter; this is a result of its specialized design to emphasize sensitivity to small low conductivity metals like gold nuggets.

Introduced as Fishers newest addition to the Gold Bug Series, the Special Edition Gold Bug, (a 2011) model created a tremendous demand for this introduction to a series of gold detectors that could do more, far more than just find gold. It is a gold finding detector with explosive power! And, it is multipurpose, a fabulous detector for finding gold & silver coins, jewelry, relics and other treasures.

Now Fishers newest Gold Bug, the Gold Bug DP for 2011, the "Best of the Best" has been introduced. Tested in-the-field against other gold detectors costing more money, the DP has more than proved to be the best Gold Bug now at an affordable price!
