Fisher’s new Gold Bug metal detector is a great gold prospecting machine which users report to be able to pick up even grain-sized gold nuggets. It offers great ground balancing adjustments which are critical in gold fields with mineral-laden ore veins.
The large LCD screen provides great readability and quick access to all menu options available on the machine. It works equally well with coins, relics and other treasures making it a great multi-purpose device.
Given its mid-range price, it delivers depth performance and speed comparable to higher end models.
Pros:
- Picks up grain sized gold nuggets
- Great ground balance adjustments
- Easy to use
- Large LCD screen
- Moderately priced
Cons:
- None noted
