Description
The Gold Bug 2 hunts the smallest gold there is, and the 6.5 inch coil is how it does it. This dedicated 6.5 inch elliptical is the Gold Bug 2's standard coil: matched to the machine's 71 kHz frequency for grain-sized gold, with a slim shape that works crevices and tight ground.
At a glance: This is the genuine Fisher 6.5 in / 17 cm elliptical search coil for the Gold Bug 2, on the Gold Bug 2's dedicated 7 ft cable and connector. Matched to the machine's 71 kHz frequency, it is the coil for the smallest gold, and its narrow shape works bedrock crevices and tight, brushy ground.

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 6.5 in elliptical coil
The Gold Bug 2 runs at 71 kHz, one of the highest frequencies in metal detecting, and it exists to find gold most machines cannot hear: grain-sized pieces and fine specimen gold. This 6.5 inch elliptical is the coil built to match it. Its small, sensitive footprint responds to the tiniest targets, and the elliptical shape slips into the bedrock crevices, tailing piles and brushy creek edges where fine gold collects. It is the Gold Bug 2's everyday coil. For covering more open ground on the same machine, step up to the 10 inch elliptical.

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.
