The Fisher Gold Bug 2 metal detector was introduced in 1995 and is still in production. It is a 71 kHz induction balance metal detector aimed primarily at gold prospecting.
"The Gold Bug 2 is the best detector on the market for finding the tiniest gold nuggets. It offers extraordinary sensitivity; at 71 kHz it features the highest operating frequency on the market. The Gold Bug 2 also features iron discrimination, is dust and moisture resistant, has audio-boost and can operate in any type of soil with the choice of three mineralization modes. In the Iron Disc Mode the detector can identify hot rocks and small iron trash items like nails. An Audio Boost Mode increases the depth capability and automatically increases the volume of any faint signal such as a small or deep nugget." Source: Fisher 2016 catalog
