About this manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the new Gold Bug™ metal detector. The newly designed Gold Bug has been custom designed to find the smallest gold nuggets, but unlike other specialized gold prospecting detectors, it can also be used for relic-hunting and coin-shooting.

The manual covers various aspects of using the device, including terminology, assembly, battery installation, quick-start demos, and operating in both All-Metal Mode and Discrimination Mode. It details how to set controls like Gain, Threshold, and Disc/All-Metal modes, as well as techniques for ground balancing and identifying buried objects.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Gold Bug be used indoors?

No, this detector is for outdoor use only as many household appliances emit electromagnetic energy that can interfere with it.

What type of battery should be used?

You must use a 9-volt ALKALINE battery and should not use Heavy Duty Batteries.

Is the Gold Bug suitable for finding coins?

Yes, it can be used for relic-hunting and coin-shooting, though its sensitivity to high-conductivity coins like quarters is slightly lower than specialized detectors.
