Fisher 14" Elliptical Search Coil Cover – Gold Bug 2 Metal Detector
Protect Your Gold Bug 2 Search Coil from Rocks, Scratches & Everyday Wear!
Gold prospecting can be tough on your equipment. From rocky hillsides and dry creek beds to mineralized desert washes, your metal detector's search coil regularly encounters rough terrain.
The Fisher 14" Elliptical Search Coil Cover is designed to fit the compatible 14-inch elliptical search coil used with the Fisher Gold Bug 2 metal detector.
This protective coil cover, often called a skid plate, provides a replaceable wear surface beneath your search coil, helping protect the coil housing from scratches, scuffs, and abrasion during normal detecting.
Whether you're searching for small gold nuggets, working old placer deposits, or exploring remote prospecting locations, a properly fitted coil cover is a simple way to help protect your detecting equipment.

Protect Your Coil Where It Matters Most
When you're searching for gold nuggets, keeping your search coil close to the ground is an important part of good detecting technique.
Unfortunately, rocky soil, gravel, and other abrasive surfaces can gradually wear down an unprotected coil housing.
A properly fitted coil cover acts as a sacrificial protective layer, helping reduce direct contact between the search coil and abrasive ground.
It's a simple accessory that can help preserve your equipment during normal prospecting use.
Perfect for Gold Prospecting Adventures
The Fisher Gold Bug 2 has long been popular among prospectors searching for small natural gold.
Whether you're detecting:
-
Rocky hillsides and exposed bedrock
-
Desert washes and dry creek beds
-
Old placer mining areas
-
Gravel bars and mineralized soil
-
Tailings piles and historic goldfields
A protective coil cover is a practical accessory for helping reduce wear during normal ground contact.
Why Replace a Worn Coil Cover?
Coil covers are designed to take wear so your search coil doesn't have to.
Over time, a cover may become scratched, worn thin, cracked, or damaged.
Replacing a worn cover helps maintain a protective barrier between the search coil and rough ground.
Prospecting Tip: Periodically remove the cover, when practical, and clean out trapped dirt, sand, and mineralized debris. Material collecting between the coil and cover can sometimes contribute to unwanted noise or abrasion.
