I would consider the Nokta Fors Gold.... It is a great gold detector.....

Gold nuggets or gold jewelry? If jewelry I would go with the MXT Pro for sure. If nuggets I would get a dedicated nugget machine.

If your not looking for gold nuggets keep in mind no detector specializes in just finding gold.

I find that most junk (tabs, bottle caps, etc) does reside in the gold range. But don't know of any detector that can truly ID between the two all or even most of the time. A tab and gold ring can appear exactly the same depending on depth, position, etc. Of course, if it were easy, everyone would have "a" or "that" detector.

Both machines are beyond my expertise. And I've heard great experiences with both.

Now, that's no help at all, is it?

I would consider the Minelab Xterra 705 with the higher frq shooter coil.

Give consideration to Nokta Fors Gold.

Here is review on it by a very respected gold hunter..

For gold nuggets, a dedicated gold machine is the best choice. Among them, it will depend on the area, the type of gold, depth, and severity of the surrounding ground mineralization.

Gold bug pro, F-19 or G2+ would be 3 others to look at. (From the "other" Fletch)
