## Description

The Fisher Labs Gold Bug Pro Metal Detector is a specialized tool designed for serious treasure hunters, particularly those focused on finding gold nuggets in highly mineralized soils. It features the industry's first variable breakpoint tone discrimination system (V-Break™), offering precise target identification and real-time computerized ground balancing. The continuous ground condition readouts ensure you're always aware of the soil's mineralization, allowing for optimal performance and accurate results. Powered by a 19 kHz operating frequency, the Gold Bug Pro is extremely sensitive to small gold nuggets, making it ideal for gold prospecting. It also includes V.C.O. (voltage-controlled oscillator) audio in both All-Metal and Discrimination modes, improving target identification accuracy by providing distinct audio feedback based on the size and depth of the target. The detector’s static pinpoint mode, coupled with a depth indicator, allows for precise target location and depth measurement. Weighing just 2.5 lbs, the Gold Bug Pro is ultra-lightweight, ensuring comfort during long hours of prospecting. It is also equipped with dual headphone jacks for convenience, and its independent threshold and gain controls let you fine-tune your settings for various ground conditions. Additionally, the Gold Bug Pro provides a ground phase value and Fe3O4 graphic, helping you assess the type and level of mineralization in the soil, which gives you more control and improves the accuracy of your finds. This advanced metal detector is the perfect choice for experienced prospectors and serious treasure hunters seeking reliable, high-performance results.

Review: My second year of having fun looking for gold and peace in Quebec. After many videos and reviews, I decided to get my first detector and choose the GoldBug Pro. I chose the GDP because of the ease of use and renowned for its gold-finding abilities, and its price was also a good point. I know about fake copies, but the fact that this item is sold by desertcart gives me confidence. Now, I can assure you that this is the REAL DEAL. The box is plain, and the packing is somewhat light. The detector pieces are tied up together with strong zip ties. Nothing was damaged. The box, even if relatively plain, has some important info about your detector; date of packaging, serial number (should be the same as inside the battery compartment) and provenance (“First Texas Products”, El Paso Texas ( Fisher Labs). So far in only few trips this detectors help me find some gold and also help me identified soil with high level of magnetite where I find good amount of alluvial placer Gold. Thank You Fisher.
Review: This product is only use for mettle not for gold and it have problem to maintain ground balance this product is is 10 years old model

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by D***. on 15 March 2019*

Very happy with the Gold Bug Pro so far! Instructions are a lot easier to get started compared to my Garrett AT Gold. Very lite weight. I was disappointed after spending $800, there was no packaging to protect the detector and parts were lose inside the box. A bit expensive, by time you ship to Canada ! A good quality set of headphones and a Double DD coil supplied would be nice! But a great starter detector! Actually far easier to get started with than my Garret AT Gold. AT GOLD is great as well - both great units- highly recommend both. AT Gold is waterproof. I did upgrade the search coil to a 11" DETECH ULTIMATE coil and this coil works great for deep searching and covering more territory!
