Whites DFX - W/ DX-1 ,, GMT gold getter
With what you have listed the DFX using the 14kHz mode will do the best.. If you had a 4x6dd coil you would see smaller gold. 6x10dd next.

Right now I have a White's XLT with a Bigfoot, DFX with a Big Foot, Surfmaster PI and a Minelab Safari. Will any of these find nuggets ???? Just wondering if I need another specialized detector. lol
The DFX is your best choice out of the ones listed,,, but you need to use one of the DD coils.
You need another specialized detector with great headphones and a lot of patients to nugget shoot.

Primary Interest:
Prospecting
all will find nuggets just some need to be the size of a brick to detect
as the others stated a DD is a good loop for DFX, XLT
first what part of the country are yoiu in? big gold? small gold?
second don't take mommas ring and chop it up, its why i am single
third get some lead bird shot (#7) and pass the lead BBs over your loop one shot first, then add more lead BBs , and so forth until you can hear it, do this with all the loops you have for your whites (Prospecting Mode)
this will give you an estimate of the sizze of gold you will find with your current loops

Then buy a GMT :laughing9:
