Description
For the deepest gold and the widest sweep, nothing on the Gold Bug 2 reaches like the 14 inch coil. The 14 inch elliptical is the Gold Bug 2's maximum-coverage coil: the widest sweep and the deepest reach on the 71 kHz machine, for open ground and deep specimen gold.
At a glance: This is the genuine Fisher 14 in / 36 cm elliptical search coil for the Gold Bug 2, on its dedicated 7 ft cable and connector. It is the maximum-coverage coil for the 71 kHz machine: the widest sweep and the deepest reach, for working open gold ground fast and chasing the deepest gold the Gold Bug 2 can hear.

Which detectors does it fit?
The Gold Bug 2 is a different platform from the Gold Bug, Gold Bug Pro and Gold Bug DP. It runs at 71 kHz versus 19 kHz and uses its own dedicated coil connector. Gold Bug 2 coils do not fit the Gold Bug, Gold Bug Pro or Gold Bug DP, and those coils do not fit the Gold Bug 2. This coil fits the Fisher Gold Bug 2 only. This coil is compatible with: Fisher Gold Bug 2.
Why the 14 in elliptical coil
When a gold patch is large or the gold sits deep, the 14 inch elliptical turns the Gold Bug 2 into a ground-covering deep-seeker. It sweeps the widest line of the Gold Bug 2 coils and reaches the deepest, while the machine's 71 kHz frequency keeps it sensitive to small targets even at size. The large coil is the least nimble of the three and gives up some touch on the very smallest surface gold, so it earns its place on open, worked ground rather than tight crevice hunting. Pair it with the 6.5 inch for detail work and this coil for coverage.

Frequently asked questions
Will this coil fit my detector? The Gold Bug 2 is a different platform from the Gold Bug, Gold Bug Pro and Gold Bug DP. It runs at 71 kHz versus 19 kHz and uses its own dedicated coil connector. Gold Bug 2 coils do not fit the Gold Bug, Gold Bug Pro or Gold Bug DP, and those coils do not fit the Gold Bug 2. This coil fits the Fisher Gold Bug 2 only.
How is this size different from the others? The 14 inch is the Gold Bug 2's maximum coverage-and-depth coil. Use the 6.5 inch for the smallest gold and tight ground, and the 10 inch for an everyday balance.
Can this coil help me find gold? Yes, this is a dedicated gold coil. The Gold Bug 2 runs at 71 kHz for small gold, and this 14 inch coil is the largest option, for coverage and depth on open ground. It fits the Gold Bug 2 only, not the Gold Bug, Gold Bug Pro or Gold Bug DP, which are a different 19 kHz platform with a different connector.
Is it waterproof? First Texas search coils are submersible; keep the control housing dry. For a verified depth rating on your exact machine, call us and we will confirm before you hunt water.
History Seekers is a small American business and an authorized First Texas dealer (Fisher, Teknetics and Bounty Hunter are one El Paso company). Everyone here detects, top down, for coins, relics, jewelry and gold, and prior field experience is a hiring requirement, not a coincidence. The person who answers your fitment question may be the one who packs the coil and drives it to the UPS drop. The story is more important than the artifact.
