Compatibility ultimately depends on the search coil installed on your detector, not simply the detector model.
Official Gold Bug 2 Compatibility
First Texas directly lists this cover in its official Gold Bug 2 parts catalog.
The catalog includes:
Fisher 6" Searchcoil – 6COIL-E-7-GB2
and
Fisher 6" Search Coil Cover – 6COVER-E2
This makes 6COVER-E2 the correct current protective cover for the compatible Gold Bug 2 6" / 6.5" elliptical coil.
6" vs. 6.5" Sizing
First Texas markets the compatible Gold Bug 2 coil nominally as a 6" search coil.
Specialist retailers commonly describe the physical coil and matching cover as approximately 6.5" elliptical.
For customer-facing Detector Warehouse copy, 6.5" Elliptical Search Coil Cover is useful because it helps customers distinguish this cover from other Fisher coil-cover designs.
Protect Your Search Coil
A search coil operates close to the ground and can regularly come into contact with:
-
Rocks
-
Gravel
-
Bedrock
-
Hard soil
-
Sand
-
Roots
-
Stubble
-
Other abrasive surfaces
The protective cover creates a replaceable barrier between these surfaces and the search coil housing.
Especially Useful for Prospecting
The Gold Bug 2's compact elliptical coil is often used in rocky prospecting environments where precise coil placement is important.
These environments can also expose the coil to frequent contact with:
-
Exposed bedrock
-
Gravel
-
Rocks
-
Narrow washes
-
Hard mineralized ground
Using the correct fitted cover helps protect the coil during these demanding hunts.
F70 & F75 Applications
The same 6COVER-E2 cover is also listed for compatible current-generation elliptical coils used with the Fisher:
-
F70
-
F75
-
F75+
-
F75 LTD
This makes it useful across multiple Fisher detector platforms, provided the detector is equipped with the correct compatible elliptical search coil.
Easy Maintenance
Dirt and fine grit can accumulate between a search coil and its protective cover.
For good maintenance:
-
Remove the cover periodically.
-
Clean dirt and debris from the underside of the search coil.
-
Clean the inside of the cover.
-
Allow both surfaces to dry when necessary.
-
Reinstall the cover securely.
Periodic cleaning is particularly important after hunting in sandy, muddy, dusty, or rocky environments.

Why Choose the Fisher 6.5" Elliptical Coil Cover?
A search coil is one of the detector components most frequently exposed to ground contact.
This fitted Fisher cover provides a simple and replaceable layer of protection between your compatible elliptical search coil and rough terrain.
For Gold Bug 2 owners in particular, First Texas directly lists 6COVER-E2 alongside the compatible 6COIL-E-7-GB2 search coil, removing the uncertainty associated with selecting a cover based only on coil dimensions.
It is also a useful protective accessory for compatible current-generation F70 and F75 elliptical search coils.
