Any metal detector can hit a gold ring at the beach. Natural gold is a different problem. Most nuggets are small, often under a gram, and they hide in iron-rich, mineralized ground that overwhelms a general-purpose machine. The detectors in this collection are built for exactly that job: high-frequency VLF machines like the Gold Monster and Gold Bug 2 for small shallow gold, and pulse induction and ZVT machines like the GPX, GPZ and SDC series that punch through the worst ground for deeper nuggets.
If you are hunting gold jewelry at the beach or in the water, you do not need a dedicated nugget machine. A waterproof multi-frequency detector will serve you better; see our Crossover Gold Detectors. Not sure which side you fall on?
